#emeril #foreverpan #panreview - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
From now on when you do the mixer test, could you wipe it with a wet paper towel after you're done? That way we can easily see any coating that was scratched off.
Agreed, sometimes what you think is a scratch on the surface is actually the pan removing some material from the metal on the mixer, causing discoloration that can easily be wiped off.
Yes i agree.this would show true result
also do it while it's hot for a better test
I was thinking similar with a dry paper towel at first or even half then with a wet paper towel.
Just watched this and if you look closely at the hexclad it did have scratches as well in the "corners". Harder to see because of the design. I think both are comparable and either will work very well. And yes, wipe with a wet paper towel for comparison.
Hearing Emeril's name brings back a lot of memories from when I was younger. Him saying "Bam!" always made me laugh but it did a good job at keeping me interested and watching. Between him and Graham Kerr, I was inspired constantly and loved to cook and tried lots of different recipes plus I'd constantly try to invent my own recipes and did a lot of experimenting with different ingredients and cooking styles. I'm willing to bet that you expected for me to become a chef, but I actually didn't go that route. Regardless of that, I've still always had a little bit of a passion for cooking that has stayed with me my whole life. I know this doesn't have anything to do with the pan, but just thought I'd share the memories that watching this brought back to me. Thanks for the video, James!
One of my friends growing up, her mom was from Thailand. She loved Emeril and his catchphrase. However…. instead of “BAM!” she would always yell “PAM!” We did tell her but she wasn’t phased and continued to say PAM. It always gave us a good laugh.
I always stick (hah!) to cast iron, iron or stainless steel pans. That being said, if I WAS looking for a non-stick pan, I'd definitely want to pick one tested by, and approved by, Freakin' Reviews! Love the thoroughness and honesty of these tests!
I agree non-stick is the worst for cooking but best for cleaning so pick your poison 😂
@@seffbones5655 cast iron cleans really well, so long as you season it well and never wash it and mess it up lol
He does a good review so I agree. I love stainless, but I'd take cast iron or carbon steel over nonstick..
@@priestesslucy3299 yea it just takes a year to get to that point… bought a lodge last year and it’s just now completely non stick
Cast iron is a learning curve ... It is the true forever pan...
I always love the "Unboxing!". Not sure why, nothing ever happens! Just once, I'd like to see the box defeat you! Hey, I'm 65, alone and unsupervised, and occasionally bored! Thoughts happen! 😉😄😂😂👵🇺🇸
Quick call 91? if only my alzheimers would allow me to call for help.
An unsupervised adult male????should not be allowed in this day and age 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I'm very thankful of your honesty for it's the reason I watched your previous reviews. Thanks for getting into the nitty-gritty of it... Like the return or refund events.
That tomato sauce test did impress me. I have an older nonstick pan that is a cheaper version of the granite rock one, and their is definitely residual sauce that likes to stay behind. Also that first pancake impressed me, I never have a first cake that looks appetizing.
Ya the first pancake or french toast is almost always the worst one for me in my experience.
I don't think it's really impressive, as he had the lid on the entire time, which trapped in the moisture, possibly allowing it to release easier.
YESSS ! 1st pancake , grilled cheese , quesadilla ....
The first few month of most any good nonstick pan will make the pan look great.
It's longer term where good separates from bad.
Most, if not all, are bad. That is, don't count on more than a year or two from any nonstick pan before stuff WILL STICK.
@@2Truth4Liberty One to two years? You're abusing your pans, or you haven't bought non-stick in a decade. Modern non-stick should last at least five years.
But that said, Teflon non-stick is 100x better than anything else, in terms of non-stick, even the most well seasoned pan will lose to Teflon.
So, after all the pan reviews, which is your best pan?
Love how thorough your pan reviews are. Always fun to watch.
I always appreciate your honesty in your reviews. Keep them coming.
Ninja finally started selling their products in Europe and I bought bunch of their products because of your videos. I must say they really make great stuff I am happy with all my purchases.
I recently bought the 10” Ninja Never Stick skillet and really like it. One of the things I like about it is the weight. It isn’t as light weight as regular non-stick skillets, but not as heavy as a cast iron skillet. It didn’t come with a lid, but I have several that will fit it just fine. It can also be used in the oven to fairly high heat. I don’t recall the degree, but it’s up there around 450 degrees. I will likely get the 12”, too.
As someone who's done some fairly serious cooking over the last 20 years and owned every pot, pan, knife and kitchen gadget under the sun, here's the one observation that I can make consistently - no matter the advancements in cookware technology, all coated / non-stick, and even most stainless steel cookware, will fail eventually, no matter how much you follow the usage and care instructions.
The only cookware that truly stands the test of time is cast iron. Clean it properly after every use, with a non-abrasive scrubber, elbow grease and water (no soap after the very first wash - EVER!), immediately dry thoroughly and wipe the inside with a thin layer of oil. Do that, and you'll have the best, non-stick and longest lasting piece of cookware in your arsenal.
I bought my first cast iron skillet some 20 years ago, and to this day, it performs just as good, if not better than the early days of when I bought it. All I did was follow the method mentioned above and it's served me well. Yes, cast iron is heavy, and maybe not practical for some... but performance wise, it'll never let you down :)
I've been using cast iron my whole life and I agree with most of what you say, however if you properly season your cast iron you can use a mild dish soap and warm water to clean it and it will not remove the seasoning. Just wipe it down with oil before you store it and bring it to temp before you start cooking the next time. Oh, and it never hurts to cook bacon on it a few times a month.
Also, something I didn’t know for years; you get a microscopic amount of iron every time you eat something cooked in your cast iron. Good to prevent anemia.
@@3rdpig A fair point, and some cast iron manufactures do say you can do that. But best to avoid it IMO :)
Couldn't agree more on the bacon point either. And whenever I have it on hand, I like to also rub the inside of my skillet with a knob of duck fat. Not only great for developing the seasoning, but flavor too!
Pan reviews are easily my favorite out of the content you make for whatever reason
I love my ninja pots and pans! Got them because of your review happy to see you’re still using them too!
I've had my Emeril set for almost a year. I'm a cook by trade and am CONSTANTLY impressed by these pans. I wish the restaurant I work at had them! Aside from a few scratches where my parents put knives in them to soak🤦 They STILL work flawlessly. And are the go to pan EVERY MEAL. EVERY DAY!
I’m trying one for fun ,will see how it goes
Do you season it from times to times or nothing right out of the box and just clean it as usual?
THANK YOU FOR DOING THIS.I ALWAYS WANTED TO SEE HOW THIS PAN DOES&ALL.U PUT IT THRU SOME TESTS&THEN SOME.LOVE UR HONESTY&ALL.
Ok now ya gotta do a video on how you rank all these pans and how they've all held up over the years. I'm always in the market for a good nonstick pan and would love a video where all the important info for all these pans is in one place.
This is the only TH-cam channel I get excited over when he posts. Love me so freaking reviews.
I love when he review kitchen products
I saw people talking about the blue diamond pan I’ve had my blue time and pan for about 3 1/2 years now I wanna say it works 93% as good as day one. In my opinion that’s amazing
It's rare and very useful to hear from people that have used a pan for multiple years, so thank you! Most Amazon reviews are useless as they are based only on initial impressions and almost any non-stick pan will perform well when new. One reason I like this channel is that it follows up on older products.
Oh yes, I LOVE my Blue Diamond pans, they are aces in my my book!
Quite the precise measurement.
Wow that is good, I've got the graniterock pro, I've been using it everyday for the last couple years and I want to say it performs about 80% as well as the day I got it. It does require spraying if you don't want things like eggs to stick to it, but it still is otherwise much much less sticky/easier to clean than an ordinary pan.
CU rates blue diamond a Best Buy! It survived harsh testing.
Sorta unrelated, but it's nice to see you still using those Dreamfarm kitchen tools after all these years. Might consider some for myself because of that!
I love the Clongs, i got them after seeing James's video for them.
Good review and love the extra reality check on the end where you expose the difference in what they advertise vs what they actually give you.
In this one I see that advertising getting pulled once they suffer some false advertising suits.
Yeah, like some of those claims are ridiculous sure, but the dishwasher thing is just a pure bruh moment. And the ad should definitely be pulled and the POS who thought of some of those claims should be jailed.
I should also mention from what i've heard from video games, apparently in the US it's not false advertising if it's not mentioned on the package. So if it's the same case for this, then I think our false advertising laws are way too forgiving.
@@thequadrupleagent4130 I'm not a lawyer but it does seem to meet the broad definition of false advertising in the United states. Which is defined as...
False advertising is defined as the act of publishing, transmitting, or otherwise publicly circulating an advertisement containing a false, misleading, or deceptive statement, made intentionally or recklessly to promote the sale of property, goods, or services.
My grandmother in law just bought us this whole set haha. Good to see they compares pretty well against these other top tier pans.
James your videos are so good i been waiting all day to watch a 26 minute video for a pan ill prolly never buy .i unironically look forward to the shrimp and chicken tests
Fantastic review, comparisons & explanations. Thanks so much for this. Be well.
Terrific review... I was a professional reviewer for a few years. I have 4 Forever pans. Yes they worked fine for the first year, then they went south pretty fast. Years (10) ago I reviewed Rachel Rae pot set, it was $99.00 for a complete set. I still have them and they look almost as good now as they were then.
I would never be ashamed to give that set as a gift. The Forever pans are wearing down fast: they lost the slide quickly and now I have to scrub them hard. They scratched easily and they look awful. I only cook for one so I am not beating them up. Pretty early on I had to use butter/oil to have them non stick. They are still better than the average pans but I am disappointed they did not live up to the promise. Rachel Rae are not as bad as the Forever pans after over 10 years. Thanks for all your reviews.
Between the Ninja & Emeril pans, which one do you like the best & why? A very great review! Thanks.
I’m actually more impressed with the Hex Clad at this point. Plus it looks a lot cooler too, in my opinion.
My hex clad pan has been fantastic, my favorite “non stick” pan.
With non-stick pans, long-term durability is the #1 criteria. Most of them are great day 1. Hex Clad has, by now, stood the test of time. Yes, it may not be quite as good as a day 1 non-stick, but it is way more reliable in the long run.
@@lazulin I agree completely
@@lazulin you really shouldn’t be buying long-term durability non stick cookware. just buy cast iron and stainless pans that will last forever, keep them seasoned, and buy a cheap little restaurant supply non stick pan for $8 and use it until the Teflon wears. Way less hassle
Seems that way, but that hexclad was $130 and an extra $50 for a lid. I pulled the trigger on the Ninja never stick premium 12.5" from Bed Bath, with 20% online discount just this last week for 40+ but a lid would have been another $30! I went to the local thrift shop today and dug through a box of glass pan lid covers. got one that seriously was never used. $1.50. Even had the small vent in it, the $30 ninja lid doesnt have any vent holes...
Great review I love your channel. I have a question though…
What is the best non-stick pan you have tested?
I just want to say, I really enjoy your reviews. I have come to your channel about 3 times now to search and see if you have done a review on something I have thought about getting. I thought about getting this pan but, for me, the "life time" being 7 years and not actual life time was the deal breaker.
If anything, James is thorough and fair.
I'm not sure why this showed up in my feed, but I watched the whole thing. Thanks!
Another great review!!! I have been watching your for years now and have purchased many products based on your videos. I have never once been disappointed!!! Just curious...do you keep the apartment just for videos? Thanks for great content!
Look forward to seeing an update on whether you get a replacement pan.
Great video as always! I have an 8" WMF non-stick pan, I don't know if they are available in the US, and have been cooking with it for about 3 years now, and it is as good as the day I first got it. My other non-stick is a T-Fal Titanium, which I have had for almost 2 years, and it is also as good as the day I got it. Of course, I would never think of allowing any metal utensils near either of them, and they are always hand washed. I would bet they will last the rest of my life, along with my 100-year-old, or so, cast iron skillets - which I will have to leave to someone in my will. 😁
Pro-tip use a thin layer of Mayo instead of butter for grilled cheese. It will be so crispy & brown beautifully & doesn't taste like Mayo!
Why would you waste mayo for that when butter is way cheaper anyway ? :O
And who wants crispy grilled cheese a preference is soggy with butter damn delicious but not healthy.
@@franktrinidad142 because it makes the bread crispy not soggy & I don't think real butter is cheaper than Mayo & you use way less.
@@johnree6106 frankly I could take them either way especially if I don't have to cook it lol
@@tatchik77 Yes agree with not having to cook them, and yes I would eat both ways just have a preference because that's how my mom cooked them 😋
I love all your videos and have been watching all of them for over 2 years. Just want you know know I always watch each one.
There are plenty of reviews of the Hex Clad where they look at it magnified after these tests and it shows a lot of break down of the materials, which is going directly into your food.
I'd like to see these reports. Can you link to any of them? Cheers.
I pretty much abandoned the whole nonstick pan thing years ago. Eggs are the only thing I can see having a sticking problem. I almost always use stainless steel (I also have a cast iron pan). It's durable (should last a lifetime) cleans up well with hot soapy water, and cooks well. I like the idea of it not wearing out.
I just bought a 40$ matte enameled cast iron pan slow baked some chicken wings in bbq sauce yesterday for 3.5 hours and everything washed out perfectly chicken fell off the bone. Washing that pan was as tough as washing the plate I used. Amazing. LOVE IT!!!
I love your videos.
I always use a hand mixer to mash potatoes or turnip in the pot. Not a ”pan” so to speak, but same difference. I use stainless steel pots for this.
I bought a pair of Granitestone Diamond Pro pans at Costco. It suggested not using a spray on oil so I don't. No DW cleaning either but that's fine since I don't have one. It scratches easily even though I don't use metal. I do like it even with the shortcomings. I love these reviews because only time will tell. I like oil with pancakes because of the crispy edges.
Awesome video! Keep up the awesome work! Hope to see a juicer review in the near future 😎
"I'm going let this egg sit, I'm not touching it"
[immediately proceeds to touching it]
Many years ago I bought an Emeril stainless cook set and was always very happy with it. I later found out it was actually made by Allclad. I don't know who produces this though.
I'll stay with my All-Clads ... a nonstick pan I use 3-5 times a week is just starting to stick a little after 2 1/2 years. Its big brother, which gets used once every couple of weeks, is still perfect.
China!
I love the way you brought out the thermal Imager. you know take any shortcuts with these hats and that's awesome
I loved, loved the advertising vs instructions segment at the end!
I remember all the reviews of the other pans.....I've learned two things...
I've been watching you since 2017.
Time has really flown by......lol
And he’s only gotten more freakin’ awesome! My first was an ice cream scoop years ago. It was notable because of Breyer’s ice cream left out retained it’s shape and James joked about what could it be made of that would cause that!
The actual durability test is how the pan performs after 50 or 100 uses and being cleaned carelessly. My cast iron frying pan has been used hundreds of times and is indestructible.
I bought the Blue Diamond pans based on your pan reviews. I found it to be the best price so gave it a chance. I love these pans. They are the ones I reach for and I used them just about every day.
I've had mine for about a year and stuff is starting to stick, but hey, for the price, I'd say they're worth it!
Great review - love this real world tests to validate or not validate the claims.
One note on the pancakes: If you use those "just add water" mixes, take a look at the ingredients. Almost all of them have "butter powder" in them, so pretty much regardless of pan used, it's not likely to stick since you're basically adding butter anyway. I know these pans are pretty solid on the non-stick so it doesn't matter much, but something to keep in mind for the future of testing ;-)
One way that you can measure how evenly a pan heats up (which would have answered some questions about the Ninja vs the Emeril) is by spreading a thin, even layer of flour on the bottom of it when cold and then watching it brown/burn as it comes up to temperature. Usually thinner, faster-heating pans suffer from having very uneven heating.
And they warp, too! No problem with gas or induction, but that's a problem with a glass top.
I don’t do much shopping unfortunately but I LOVE watching your videos and learning about these items
Same 🥲 To hell with poverty!
Thank you for showing this
I was confused about which set of pans to buy. Now I know
I have an Emeril pan that I bought several years ago. I use it often and it works just like the day I bought it. I spray it with a little bit of oil and go for it. I got rid of all the rest of my coated pans since I got this one. It’s an amazing pan!
Yeah, but if it has aluminum dots on the bottom, it stinks when it gets hot.
@@Bob_Adkins No dots on mine. It's all stainless steel. I love it!
@@Paul0451 So they were originally made better, with solid SS bottom.
The Emeril looks identical to the Blue Diamond with a different stamp on the bottom. I would like to have seen that comparison, considering the Blue Diamond is about 20 bucks. I suspect that these coatings are all about the same. At leat the Emeril came with a lid
Just like drop-shipped junk
1000 different names for the exact same item
Cookware manufacturers have done this on occasions in the past. They'll take an item and either re-sell it under a different brand or celebrity name. I had an anodized aluminum pan under the Emeril brand years ago that was identical to ones made for Costco under the Kirkland brand, among others.
I like a lid. Did he say the price?
Where do you get the drop ship brands?
Great job. One suggestion--you should have put the prices of each pan above when you did your lineup at the beginning of the vid.
It is a great frying pan! I have had no problems at all for 19 months. I love the Emeril forever pan. I'm not worried about the mixer test because I don't use any metal on my pans.
Warm it up good and smell the bottom. Those dots stink, and they stink up your whole kitchen.
@@Bob_Adkins You think someone wouldn't notice a stink when using something regularly for 19 months?
@@Malthan If you get a drop or 2 of oil on the bottom it's going to wick into those dots and stink from that moment on. I can't fry bacon and eggs without leaking a drop down the side. Good luck, I hope you stay perfect!
In my experience, when it comes to pans that need to be seasoned, like cast iron, I find that there is a "break-in" period.
After a few uses and seasonings, it begins to perform at its best. Some sooner over others.
If you were selling this pan from a large wagon in a old west town, I’d buy one !
Great demo !
Great video. Thanks as always for your hard work. This one made me hungry.
At time 10:52 where did you get those "whisk tongs"? They're the bomb.
i think i'm going to pick a couple of these pans up for my collection. thanks for the reveiw
Honestly, I'm impressed by the pan... if I was buying it for me. However, I'm looking for a pan for my mother who is of the opinion that metal tools are the best tools, no matter what the pan manufacturers say. She can, will, and has, scratched up non-stick pans less than 30 minutes after receiving them. So I had hoped that this Emeril pan might work for her, as it is light and is advertised as being able to stand up to her. I'm sad that the reality is otherwise. But the Hexclad is my other choice, so I'm glad to see that you have had good luck with that one for so long.
S
In order to get "the slide" around you get on eggs. You need to have a higher heat and taper it down.
Think we will buy one. I love my cast iron skillet, but it would be nice to have a good skillet without having to pull out the heavy cast iron each evening.
Great review, as always. Thank you!
I'm still using the Emeril pots & pans I bought in 1999. Amazing quality! 👍🍳👍
My biggest test interest is to see how well it works after 6 months of use. Silicone vs. metal utensils, dishwasher vs. hand washing. Great that it does what the commercial advertises, but does the coating last, does it need repeated oil seasoning over time, or is it disposable and useless after a few cooking tests.
Totally agree, all pans work really well out of the box! Lol
Same. Unless they've invented some new non-stick coating technology that lasts forever (and they absolutely would be advertising that if they did) then it's going to stop being non-stop eventually. "Forever" Pan seems like false advertising
@@tagsby81 the coating lasts just long enough for the written warranty to expire, usually. 😔
Why are you not supposed to use aerosol sprays in these things?
How about regular old dish-washing liquid? I notice he was cleaning with water only.
To be fair James does do reviews of how products fair after use. I’m sure he’ll do the same for this one.
I've been really happy with my granite stone pans. Bought a few different sizes and been generally happy with them. Totally agree with you. If your pan is not gonna hold up, leave those claims out of the infomercial. And that 7 year "lifetime guarantee" is laughable. Again, something you shouldn't say in the commercial if it isn't true. Easy fix, don't say it and people won't be disappointed lol. Great review as always. Even was the first in again to hit that like button. Got it at 10 seconds in 😜
I love the Granitestone pans too. I bought them based on James' review. The Granitestone pans are indestructible.
@@shellymac7597 same here! He really made me want to try them and I love them!
Bought my granitestone pans based on James review and they are great. Unfortunately, my wife is not a great cook and uses high heat and aerosol spray to cook eggs in them! This is why we can't have nice things.
@@gregthompson709 I started labeling pots, pans and knives after my previous roommate kept putting them into the fucking dishwasher. Animals.
@@gregthompson709 One of the reason I am not married.
Hi! Like everyone else, I adore your vids and I'm definitely subscribed. i have a question about the Forever Pan: Searing. Legasse is always saying how the pan can sear on High heat, yet I've read that the heat should never surpass Medium. What heat did you use? I like a fast/hot sear and then move the pan into the oven. Would that cause an early demise of the pan? What infomercials say and what they do are so many times a different animal. If you see this and reply, thanks so much.
Have you seen the OXO Mira Tri-ply stainless nonstick pans? Supposed to heat more evenly than anodized nonstick pans and more efficiently on induction.
Would love to see how that pan lives up to your standards.
Awesome channel!
I low-key watch this channel 20% of the time just for the eggs 😜
Hi. Thank you for the video. I was bummed about the mixer test. Did the manufacturer replace the pan?
Nice thorough review and video.
My husband got me "The Rock" set from Starfrit and my oh my ---are they the best pans I've ever owned. After heavy usage "As a chef" and dishwashers ---metals tools, everything! They are still nonstick and pretty amazing. I had them for now 5 years! No scratch! Just some decoloration.
Nice, I checked it out, if that stuff is 5 years old then my graniterock stuff is probably a knockoff of this stuff. It works really well though.
@@Phynastor oh yeah no, its not called graniterock. Its Starfrit TheRock set. It have an engraved logo on the handle. I've seen lots of chef using those pans before, and they are 100% oven proof depending if you get the ones with the metal handles.
They also have a coper version, which have a more "kitchen" style? I bought one and its older than my 5 year set. Its still nonstick and I never seasoned it, and I put it in the dishwasher too. A lot more heavy duty than the regular The Rock set.
I am buying some!
Lucky! Both of mine are no longer nonstick. Also, when I've removed them from the dishwasher and wipe down any leftover drops of water, a black residue from the bottom of the pan is left on my towel.
@@LC.1990 ive saw some ppl talk about that in their reviews. Strangely mines never did that so I cant speak for that experience. I mean fabrication defaults are a thing, as I bought some of the stuff on this channell to be totally not working like his did! Might be similar in these cases.
I had a set of the Emeril pans... they didn't hold up well after about a year. Switched those out to a set from Ninja, same deal, didn't hold up well after about a year. Now trying out a hexclad set, we'll see how they do. I like the idea of more durability with the stainless steel layers coupled with the (likely not *as* good) nonstick of Teflon. Time will tell.
they wont hold up either its all a scam to get your money
stainless steel will last a really long time if you take care of it
Well, how'd the hexclad do??
I got the Thyme and Table 5 qt saute pan from Walmart a few months ago and I love it. The non-stick is still amazing, it cooks evenly, it's super easy to clean, and it was only $40. It comes with a glass lid and is a nice looking pan.
That's what I'm buying soon. Just saw them at Walmart.
Bought some Hexclad a few months ago. It's not as nonstick as an out of the box nonstick pan, but it's decent, and you can treat it like cast iron. Even use steel wool on it. Bullet proof pans imo.
I've NEVER had a non stick pan last longer than 6 months. I think I tried them all at one time other. I use SS or cast iron now, they work. Get back with me in 6 months of daily use and see if it works as good as new.
I've had nonstick pans last me for years, if they are only lasting 6 months then one must be doing something wrong. I have cast iron, stainless and non stick that I treat each with care. But I reach for the nonstick the most because it's easier.
I had an Al clad last 30 years
These are the EXACT same pan as the Ninja Pro - I mean exactly, just a different logo.
I love my new Ninja Never Stick. It is not as light as a regular nonstick skillet, nor is it as heavy as a cast iron skillet. At 73, and with the onslaught of arthritis, cast iron and the lovely enameled cast iron Dutch ovens are way too heavy for me. But the Ninja can be used in the oven whereas many regular nonstick skillets can’t be. It could be the weight and thickness difference that made the Ninja heat up more slowly than the Emeril pan. Thank you for this excellent review, James!
At Costco they had some guy pushing Hexclad pans and he did the mixer thing. Sure enough, the eggs that followed came right out. I was tempted but they were pricier than I wanted. Good review.
You should try a carbon steel pan I recently got one and it surprised me how well it worked after properly seasoning
Clean a carbon steel shovel, then oil shovel, hold shovel inside fire in your firepit n heat it up....then get ur steak and cook in shovel above fire. The shovel has no holes, which in return keeps tons more juices towards better eatting. Hope ya give this a gander as well 👍

I had enough of my gotham steel copper pans that once again failed me and bacon/eggs stuck horribly bad. Lasted maybe 2 years and all of them are garbage. Have a chef grade nonstick pan that sticks now and a ceramic pan that also sticks terribly bad. I was searching for a quality nonstick pan and then after reading some reviews i asked myself why waste money on another pan thats just going to fail? So i looked up carbon steel pans that should last a lifetime and with a proper seasoning should always last and can be redone if needed. So im looking and trying to decide between two pans: Mauviel M Steel and BK Cookware. Im leaning the BK as its cheaper for a bigger pan. Update: I bought a 2pk on amazon of the viking pans and they are so so. I heavily seasoned them as recommended and at first they worked quite well. Remember to never use more than medium heat and if anything less because these pans get hot. I think this is half the reason why im loosing my non stick seasoning on them now. I always use olive oil but i think its low heat tolerance is getting burnt off and now eggs/bacon stick again. Im gonna have to use a propane burner outside to smoke them and re-season. Maybe i should find/use a different oil thats more heat tolerant? Regardless they are easy to clean and still work better tham my nonsticks.
You must be kidding ! people actually cook cheese sandwiches in a frying pan !? rather than sticking the things under the grill ?
You should test all the pans at once to see if the old still stands up to the newest, maybe do an egg in each. Be cool to which one holds up.
Love all your videos. Thanks for such an in depth look at these products.
Great honest review..thank you
Did you ever do a follow up on the Hexclad pan ? Would be interesting to see how it's holding up if you're still using it. From this video it still looks pretty good.
Yeah I would love a follow up on the hexclad
Do the smooth surface pans “swirl” more easily than the slightly pebbled pans?
I can't wait to see how this pan holds up in future reviews
I'm buying the hexclad. Thank you for your reviews
When you do the mixer test, use a paper towel to see if it picks up any dust
So far my mom has totally destroyed every as seen on tv pan. Just from her cooking alone. The only one that seems to hold up and keep coming back. Is the old school cast iron skillet. In fact shes destroyed a couple electric and gas stoves with that thing 😂
Damn, would be better if she was open to some basic cooking instruction.
@@bipbop3121 I know she won't even listen to me. It's where she likes to use metal cooking utensils that destroy any protective coating on the skillet or pots and pans. I've even gone as far as replacing all her cooking utensils with wooden ones. But she still uses metal forks and knives on some meals. You don't want to know how much teflon coating I've eaten over the decades thinking it was black pepper 😂
Thanks for the heads up about the forever pan😁 I can see that the hexapan works better😁
great video! but, about like a year before or something, I had mentioned in a comment about maybe trying the Cookland 12 inch Avocado Oil-Infused Non-Stick Pan.... this thing is simply pure heaven to use! when I bought it like 3 years ago, there was no need to ever look back, as THIS was THE pan to use from here on out. I still think and would love to see you try out that one. best pan I've ever used, sincerely!

I have a question. I heard of people filing claims against companies for false advertising of products. If a company claims that you can use a mixer on their pan and it won’t scratch, you do then it scratches wouldn’t that be considered false advertising?
For a return, they’d probably honor it.
For a lawsuit, they may have a chance at an out by clarifying the instructions and usage in the product manual.
Yes, it would be false advertising. But if you take them to court the first thing a lawyer or judge is going to ask you is "How were you damaged?". If the damage is the cost of the pan and a ruined meal is it worth paying a lawyer? And if the company offered to replace the pan or refund your money you'd have no case at all.
Just finished a class in business law, but im no lawyer. Having not understood how this happens so bloody often, i had to read historical cases of whats called "Puffery". Apparently non truthful statements are acceptable in advertising to some extent unless they can be objectively verified. Seems this could be, but Im guessing this has happened so many times and the court decisions based on puffery precedent are simply going to continue to stand. Thats it in a nut shell.
Simple answer. NO.
for a simple reason. When you buy a product, there is always a garantee that coming with it. And that garantee stupilate clearly that the garantee wont apply if you dont use the product the way it's supposed to be used.
Using a mixer in the pan is probably against the garantee statement, and so, no garantee could apply and so the one doing the infraction is the user, not the creator.
it's a shady thing, but it's like this sinze.. forever as far as i can tell.
The other reason will simply be "mental", it's not because someone do something that mean you have to do the same. As exemple, it's not because they tested a car in a crash test that mean you had to crash you car in the nearest wall to test it.
That being said, the Red Bull guy sued the crap out of them cause it didn’t actually give you wings… so I guess there’s always a way to swing it and win
Please review this pan a year from now. Let's see if you can still do the swirl... :)
Good show... I was going to pan this video but it was just so darn interesting it won me over.
I always like your reviews but this really is an exceptional one
Those pancakes 🥞 look great. I’m impressed, course I don’t review pans like you do. I bought my wife pioneer women and one of the pans was complete trash. We had to throw it away because we cooked eggs in it and it burned and stuck to the pan. I couldn’t get it out and it then was stained permanently. Thanks for the informative videos.
That happened to one of my friends she loves Pioneer woman stuff but one of the pans she used was trash.
This is my problem too: I hate when pans are getting scratched. Trying to figure which one doesn’t scratch no matter how much it costs.
Hexclad
They will all scratch, especially if you don't treat them well and don't use non-metal utensils. Get cast iron if you don't want scratches. Every pan with a "non-stick coating" will wear and scratch, it's science.
@@Grizazzle came to say cast iron is the only scratch resistant pan!
I remember my mom had old, heavy black cast iron pan, it could withstand anything.

I love my Ninja never stick set, I’ve had it over a year and use them daily.
GOOD TO SEE THE OLD KITCHEN!!! ❤️
Yes, I'm gonna spend 25 minutes watching somebody talk about a cooking pan. If I could go back in time 30 years and tell my high school self that this would be the highlight of my day, what would he say? I guess he'd be happy that Pearl Jam still exists and we have tickets for MSG on September, 11. But then he'd be confused as to why I mentioned that date as if it has some type of importance.
Unexpectedly profound comment 😳
