A couple of things on my 9.5 De Buyer Mineral Pro carbon steel pan is I have included here a picture of me measuring the pan thickness. I believe it is 3 mm even though it is a 24 cm pan.
I had some carbon build up on my new pan and I saw a video using coarse salt to scrub it off using a paper towel. I tried it and it seemed to work. I heated the pan first. Here is a picture after getting the carbon off. My pan is very smooth on the bottom now.
