Salut,
Alex
Everyone else: "I need a new pan. Time to go to the store."
Alex: "Time to go to Istanbul and help build a Silver Plated lined Copper Pot from scratch."
Of course that's what Alex would do.
if i had the kind of contacts alex does so would i!
As cool as it is, the world health does Not increase.....
And then let his audience and himself wait nearly a year or so to show and use it 😀
@Take a Chill Pill awesome country, outside of the proper tourist locations its beautiful.
these delivery prices are too damn high ima fly there myself
I feel like Alex is a warrior going on a mystical quest to meet a blacksmith to forge a legendary weapon.
Pretty much
What do you mean feels like? That's exactly what he did
In some distant parallel universe he will work together with a huy from Z1pruralZZAlpha to make the best kitchen knife to create the worlds best sandwiches.
He's on a make your own adventure quest!
You obviously do not know what a warrior is, and you live in a fantasy world.
Alex could have such a cool netflix show, but Netflix doesn't deserve him
True
How can we make this happen? Alex on netflix would be bomb af!
he's doing pretty well on his own without producers telling him what to do. They can't offer him what he has
Netflix is just gonna cancel it after the first season anyways
@@allygirl641 nobody wants to pay for videos
Mad respect to alex for flying all the way to İstanbul just to buy some pot
@yamete kudasai It's much easier to hash things out in person.
I mean it was probs like a 2 hours flight from France
@@michaelkelly8800 Could have called up his local guy. 😎

i mean he wanted to see his bud i dont blame him
Istanbul is such an amazing place. Especially for shopping. Need a button, there’s an entire street of button stores. Need a wheel for a wheelbarrow? There’s a street for that. Love the place.
Picture this, random person walking down the streets of Istanbul, seeing a raving beautiful lunatic Frenchman talking about the ultimate saucepan in the universe; what interesting times we live in.
Basically a usual day in Beyazıt (near Grand Bazaar) to be honest.
@John Doe yes really i saw more foreigners than turkish people on the european side of the istanbul
There is a strong relationship between France and Turkey for some reason. When I was there a lot of Turkish people are either studying French at school, speaking it or translating it. I also heard a lot of French speaking - what I presume to be, tourists - walking around.
...a raving beautiful lunatic Frenchman speaking English...
beautiful lunatic... I'm not gonna say you are wrong
Truly a thing of beauty. The small round pot they showed is breathtakingly beautiful.
IKR! I’d be very hesitant to cook anything in it, god forbid I damage it
@@MyBoomStick1 They have a great warrantee. They will re-tin your pot once a year for free.
Alex: "is it gonna work?"
Emir: "yea its gonna work"
Also Emir: "Inshallah"
This shit had me dying XD
It literally means : if God wants
He did have a look of concern on his face
@@oussamaxd197 ik im muslim 😂
@@luqmaancareem2376 hhhh sorry , i though it was someone who just thought it was a funny joke
Right it was so funny
There is just something that is so insanely beautiful and pleasing in the knowledge that there are companies that still make high quality full on function products like that saucepan
I plan on going into something like that it's not going to be my main job because I follow the motto of always have more than one income source
I really love those small b-roll shots he sprinkles in. So much chaos at that workshop and he still has the mental capacity to remember to get multiple angles of everything going on, and filming people's hands etc.
I'm not sure why but it was refreshing to hear a full-bodied "r".
Full-bodied R...
...you mean like a hard R?
@@xxxxxx5868 love me a hard R
N..........................................R
@ModestMagician so a rhotic!
If you're cool, you say it with an "a".
They are actually priced VERY reasonably. There are many brands that don't use silver or make their stuff by hand and cost more. I really want one of their sauce pans. I bet a wok would be great as well since you could get a lot of heat into the food without the thermal mass of iron. The heat could also spread up the side of the wok nice and evenly.
And their Stovetop even - yes indeed, "wants" are encouraged by this type of marketing...
In all fairness, one of the reasons why the price wasn't too bad is that the turkish economy is in a horrible state and the turkish lira has been suffering from severe inflation (mostly thanks to the turkish president Erdogan insisting that the base rate must not be raised whilst simultaneously scaring off investors with an increasingly aggressive, isolationist and pro-islamistic policy that has made turkey somewhat unpopular in international politics).
If you can offer a foreign, more stable currency like the US-dollar or the Euro, you can pretty much always get really good prices in regions with a faltering local currency.
I think a wok made like this would be like a totally new kind of cooking pan. I'm pretty sure the one of the benefits of the wok's shape and poor thermal conductivity is so you get SUPER high temps right at the bottom/middle, and a gradient of temps as you go up the side. Kind of gives you a variety of cooking temperatures to work with. :)
A seasoned cast iron wok would be more nonstick compared to this
@@BRUXXUS I think it would be a wok in shape only. A wok cooks like a wok for the reasons you said. At that point it wouldn’t be much different from one of their frying pans.
You just costed me a fortune in pans basically. Those are absolutely gorgeous.
@Mycel 100%
@Mycel : And they "Include" - Free maintenance, apparently - A couple of Shipping trips around the world, and it may be cheaper to get a local Jeweller / Silversmith rejuvinate the lining, OR do it yourself with some bullion quality silver ( only ~24USD-spot / oz) and a MAP-Gas torch.
@Mycel Yeah but at least you'll be able to relatively easily return them to as-new condition with a bit of polish. I think the copper will look pretty good as it oxidises though.
I bought my wife a pan in the beginning of December and got it yesterday and it is truly an amazing pan, it's heavy but feels so good in the hand. I can't wait to use it to make a great sauce. Thanks Alex for introducing us to Soy!
I was so surprised when they took out a silver sheet instead of just plating on the silver.
Also I went to their website to see if these pans cost more or less than $2000, and they are closer to $200.
WHAT? THAT'S IT? I GOTTA GET ME ONE
In needs to be solid silver to have the great heat transfer and conduction. Even better than copper
You're crazy! There isn't much on the website that is less than $2000 I just looked and 2000 is about average for a small saucepan! lol
@@ToxemicSean I am not surprised they raise their prices.
@@wisnoskij also after a little further digging, I did find some at the price you talked about, for some reason it took me to the real expensive shit first. But I did see some at the $200 mark
Btw Soy means Lineage in Turkish.
Thanks mate. I was thinking about soy boys throughout the clip.
thanks, i was wondering
I’m glad I learned this. I assumed they were saying “I am” in spanish to show that they make products by hand for individuals in such an intimate way lol.
There is something about watching craftsmen, or should I say artisans, creating things that is so satisfying. One of the best episodes so far.
You just can’t watch this without a massive smile on your face!

This is BEAUTIFUL! it's not only the pot. It's everything! The place, the building, the culture, the food, the scenery, the music, the shots 😍
And just think, every time he uses this pan in years to come... we will all recall this moment... This fond memory... This small slice of history...
And next year we learn how to keep that pot as shiny as new.
I can't stop being impressed by stuff made by people with passion and skills that are as old as can be remembered. Thanks for this
The shots of the sauce pan from different angles and differently coloured reflections were just beautiful! Great work man!
For those wondering, the song at 11:51 is - Be Still by Doug Kaufman. Great video!
The craftsmanship and art that goes into that cookware is absolutely beautiful, bravo to Soy for what they do.
Ah yes. Now I want pans that’s I absolutely CANNOT afford
wow the most likes I've gotten on a comment. Maybe go drop some love on my cooking channel while you're here? :D
Shipping would be probably more than the cost for me...but that doesn't mean I won't start saving my dimes for this!
Most accurate comment I've read today. Lol
Hope Rules one day!! Haha
Douglas von Sohsten the envy is realer than it’s ever been haha I have a weak spot for beautiful and functional items
those pans are couple 1000s lmao
ooooooh wow these pans are some of the most beautiful objects i have ever seen! i would have liked to see even more, from casting the handles and hammering the sides. if you are reading this; incredible work Emir and team! i am now determined to visit Istanbul and will seek out your store when i do! thank you Alex for bringing these master craftsmen to our attention.
What a nice Idea for a video. Exploring the craftsmanship that goes into our most used tools in the kitchen could be a very interesting series. Especially when it comes to knives.
I remember the first time i heard about this guy who made copper pots, it was an episode called "Interview with a Real Pot Dealer" on vice. i was so mesmerized by the craftsmanship that i needed to get my hands on one these pots. Sadly, at the time, he wasn't well known as he kept a very low profile and only those in the biz knew about him. Getting one took a while as there was no website. eventually, i was able to get one... they are the best.
This is sickkk. Alex is the only youtuber who gives us this kinda content. Can't wait for the next episode!!!
Bon Appetit used to give us this quality of content :( Not since June 2020, though.
This is like Indiana Jones goes to find the treasured silver/copper saucepan.
Alex has a pot dealer now?
Nope!He clearly is a CONSUMER! LOL. I wonder how many pots count as for self-consumption????
And he can be your Pot dealer too - Just call PotsR_US-
Türkei lol...
One of the highest quality youtube channels around, in any subject.
I love how well educated you are! Bauhaus fits your style so well, it feels like the things you design always takes a part in the spirit of your words "Beaty in function".
I love following you around the world and exploring it through your eyes!
Thank you so much Alex!
Emir is such a cool guy. We visited his workshop and shop a couple of years back. So friendly straight away even though we were complete strangers. Best Episode in a while.
As a metalsmith I wholly endorse this video! Truly beautiful work! ❤️

man that craftsmanship is impressive. Now i want one >.
Alex, I have to give you credit. You are turning out some amazingly shot videos. Not sure if you are shooting them completely on your own or not. But regardless these are amazing shots to be so proud of.
the craftsmanship on this pots is amazing !
I worked with the turks in albany NY here in the states. There's a copper wire factory there called sark wire it's a subsidiary of the same factory name based in Turkey, they're good people, I was sorry that I had to leave. Hearing about turkey made me want to visit some day.
cool i'm over in troy, ill have to check that out!
Our people is kind at workplace or work ethics because old time people work in harmony and there is somethink call ``ahilik`` that stands for tradesmen solidarity.
who knew that forging a copper sauce pan would be on my bucket list now
Pretty sure it was spun not forged - pedants, the lot of us, I know...
Good luck :D
I bought an Ibrik from SOY some years ago, not only is it exquisitely made the performance is exceptional!
How does the lining hold up?
Quite well, no noticeable signs of degradation.
I have the silver lined 140ml C2 model.
It’s definitely an heirloom!
What is the handle and rivets made of? Does the handle conduct heat?
@@ahmedalqahtani7270 Hello @Medo Alq, if you're referring to the handle on the cezve/ibrik- from the Soy website "Handles are of our own patented alloy of Sand-Cast Solid Bronze" and no I haven't had issues with the handle getting hot.
J’adore ton anglais. Il est parfait, avec une prononciation française. Simply Magic.
Those pans are absolute works of art. I'd love to own one of those one day.. wow astonishing
Alex is the male version of Ina Garten. “ And I’ll be using fresh dill watered with newborn gecko tears, but store bought is fine.” Alex,” I need to know if a sauce pan has anything to do with elevating my sauce game, so I’m headed to Turkey to make a solid copper and silver lined sauce pan from scratch.” 😜🤣🥃
The only thing that's saving me from bankrupting myself right now by buying these utterly gorgeous pots is that we have an induction stove.
Searching and producing the most optimal stove,will be of the next projects!I guess.
to be honest they are not that expensive if you find right shop and you can debate the price if you are in local shop to but internet shipping is bit kinky compare to go buying yourself i live in turkey and most of the time i go buy the stuff by myself but out of county shipping is as i sad bit tricky and some induction stove works with copper pans i have so many friends who cooks with copper pan on induction stove
Well, in Italy Navarini produces copper and silver pan also with induction, I think it's around 500€
@@loris7127 Likely because there is an iron core in the base.
@@SilvaDreams Yes, otherwise it wouldn't work with the induction. A chef that taught me has one of those and it's a nice pan, I'm probably going to visit their factory soon and replace one of my copper/stainless that is too small with one of their pans. Then in the end a multiply one would be giving really similar performance to copper ones, so if I get one is just for having a copper/silver pan.
I believe the commercial notebook should say BLUE FRIDGE THEORY!!
When u came Turkey last time for finding the best meat ball, you had visited the wrong place. And I said myself "Damn! He hadnt taste the best meat ball! He just visited very regular, banal restaurant!". But this time you were lucky cause your friend ordered meat ball at one of the best meat ball (köfte) maker restaurant. Now I m so happy :)
It’s so close to how they make hand hammered cymbals! And in the same country too! Super interesting, enjoy the new sauce pan!
This is the most beautiful cookware I’ve ever seen
I dont have any friends that greet me as genuinely as this guy you met once before
im sorry...did he adamantly say "its gunna work" then stare worryingly at the sheet and lean in to you and say "inshallah? xD
yea inşallah is a statement for ``by the god its gonna work properly`` and sometimes when you are gonna act or do somthink you say that to in islamic religion
@@KindRaiDeR yeah trackin i just found it to have some ironic humor is all ahah
@@KindRaiDeR iirc it's a bit like how Christians use "god willing."? Like, saying "I hope this will work but it's up to god"
@@linkbro4374 yea its like that.
You're not supposed to speak of the future as if you know it as only Allah knows for sure what it holds. Or something.
While they're turning the pot I realized that one of the most popular cymbal companies in the world, Zildjian, was founded in Constantinople, Turkey. Plenty of experienced metal formers in that area.
i mean the most populer one is named istanbul agop cymbals so go figure :)
I recall "Zildjian" is made up of Armenian and Turkish words for cymbal smith.
🎶Istanbul, not Constantinople...🎶
that's an amazing craftsmanship which is so precious to witness.
That is such a beautiful pot.
Ahhhh deux de mes idoles, Alex et the real pot dealer :-)

Me in a 100% of my technical interventions.
Fantastic to watch theese craftsmen work. Their eyes is in total focus. WOW :) And i will visit Turkey very soon, that food looks just fantastic.
A simple tool made in a way that is very complex, in order to create basics. I am absolutely astonished.
Only $460 USD for a 30cm silver lined copper fry pan.
I say only because a 30cm solid silver fry pan is $6630.
Actually not even that bad, considering the price of le creuset stuff. And this is made with expensive metals. Add it looks amazing
Doesn’t work on induction 😂
@@jakobdieckmann induction cooking is pathetic.
Jakob Dieckmann heathens cook on induction stoves
@@napalmenthusiast4423 Why? Because of the way higher heat control? The lower energy usage? Because it heats up way faster? What's the disadvantage of induction cooking? Except that you may need a new pot.

💀💀💀
what is the problem with that?
Muslims typically say "inshallah" when they are talking about something that is going to happen or they are planning to do
@@AhmedAshraf-pd7mu i know that. He used it more in a sense of “I hope” though which i found funny
@@AhmedAshraf-pd7mu Idk if you know, but a lot of people say Inshallah(yes, I know it's a Muslim word) for when they want to show that they have no idea how something's going to work and they just hope it will in a meme-y sort of way. Basically it's a meme form for "I hope."
@@archeofutura_4606 immmm,
not exactly like that
We use it to express the fact that we can't guarantee everything would go as planned
As if you say "I'd do my best, and theoretically everything should go well, though the possibility of something going unplanned is always there"

It actually translates to "if god well"
hey, hey guys
what did metal say to its crush
i got my iron you ;)
i'll let myself out now
That is the most beautiful copper pan I've seen to date, it's like a kaleidoscope
that´s why I love this channel, Alex didn´t even bother going to Mauviel factory, the guy went to turkey to forge a saucepan
Oh, I thought this is a new Man At Arms Reforged episode :D
1:21 It's not "Corn Bazaar" it's "Mısır Bazaar" and can be translated as "Egypt Bazaar".
Mısr means metropol in Arabic and Egypt is mentioned as a metropol (Mısr) in Qur'an so Muslims call Egypt Mısır. Mısır Bazaar is the market of goods imported from Egypt mainly. Corn was unknown until America explored. Turks saw corn first in Egypt market so they named corn after this country, Mısır. In Turkish "Corn" and "Egypt" are Mısır. Like in English Turkey means both a country and a bird. Englishmen named this bird after the country Turkey because similarity of a bird they saw among Turks. And we call this bird Hindi means Indian because explorers thought they found India when they landed America.
He didn't say 'corn', he said the 'grand' bazaar.
@@yarbas89 I hear "Corn Bazaar". His lips open as an "O" shape indicates "cOrn". His accent is so heavy. There is Grand Bazaar close to Mısır (Corn/Egypt) Bazaar, so you may be right. I definitely can't hear "Grand" here.
@@cihanfatihi it’s definitely not corn, he says it quickly but you can hear the d at the end and he says grand in almost like a posh British sound, grarnd and then with a French accent, carned.
@@jacklai8933 Probably you are right but I am definitely hearing "Corn" with a throat shredding "K" sound and a heavy French "R" but not any "D" anywhere. Maybe because of my language, in Turkish every letter is vocalized as it's pronunciation. Turkish is very consistent. So I can't hear inconsistent words that well. I don't know, his heavy French accent is crushing my existence. Argh!
Watching them hammer the disk reminds me of hand hammered cymbals that I use
if they are from zildjian, chances are they have been manufactured in a workshop just a few streets away from soy‘s products.
@@Nina-nc5ds they're bosphorous
Nina Ludolphi actually in the very same building, Middle-Floor, Bridge section, was the actual workshop of Kerop Zilciyan a century ago.
@@Nina-nc5ds Yes, the best are Zildjian from what I've been told.

One day I'm gonna have one of these and cook some instant noodles.
Kraft Dinner all the way!
It's weird how everyone who's even remotely into cooking are fans of cast iron, yet very few are fans of copper.
Ever since teflon became known to be dangerous, there was a huge boost in the popularity of cast iron. I've heard friends saying "got this cast iron pan from my grandmy, refurbed it and I love it" - but their grandma also had copper pans and they never even bothered with that.
Outside of France, copper seems to be viewed as something people just buy if they're into the retro style and want a whole set of copper cookware.
Yet I figure it most home cookes would benefit from having ONE copper pan, for cases when you cook something non-acidic and need great heat control.
(I know copper cookware often requires re-lining and can be rivalled by alu - but still, surprised it's not more popular)
I know Copper is extremely good for cooking, and used to be common here until midcentury, but it has some down sides as it can't be used on Induction, you can't just wash it in the dish washer, it is best suited for open fires and gas, you have to polish and use it regularly. Great for professionals not so much for my tiny home kitchen.
@Claptrap Jesus Yes. But when I say "copper cookware" I basically mean LINED copper. Are there even unlined copper pans for sale? I feel like that's hardly an issue. Seems most copper pans are lined with tin.
But yeah, I bet a big factor in old copper cookware not being picked up more often is that people are a bit unsure of the state of the lining. If you find a pan at a flea market and you're unsure about the lining you might pass on it entirely. If the lining is totally wasted and you can get the pan for cheap, it might be a good deal if you get it re-lined. But since most people have no idea how a lining should look to be good enough - I bet that scares some people away from the 2nd hand copper market)
@@ellerikke3948 True, the induction issue might be a huge factor these days.
The dishwasher thing, I dunno - I feel people are used to being advised to not washing most pans in the dishwasher (neither cast iron, nor carbon steel, nor teflon)
I'm not sure if teflon pans are healthy or not
but nonstick pan, in general, are shit
they never brown the food well! what good can they do? the best you can use them for is to fry an egg
I use a stainless steel and I love it
plan to level up to a copper pan or at least cast iron as soon as I get my first ever paycheck soon inshallah
@@AhmedAshraf-pd7mu I feel like browning food hasn’t always been quite as popular as it is now. Crust on stake wasn’t always a big talking point. When teflon was at it’s height of popularity I feel like a lot of people mainly focused on nonstick.
Sure, stainless is very useful. But it’s a bit unfair to say non-stick is limited: you CAN get *some* browning in a nonstick pan, even if it’s not to the level that a steak-crust-lover needs.
Watching the passionate discussion about copper pans was amazing!
His workplace looks like something your grandfather has in his garage, what comes out is a masterpiece
This guy deserves so much more, the amount of production quality and effort that goes into his videos is almost unmatched.
He's gonna make ramen with that aren't you, Alex?
Oui!
@@lechatbotte. WAAAAyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!
How else is he gonna be able to make 'tare'?
Instant ramen too.
Gotta love metals that you can cold forge. It's much less stressful when you don't have to worry about cold shuts and the like.
Alex. Thank you. Your videos are so informative but even more entertaining.
I never thought these words would ever come out of my mouth but...that's a stunning saucepan.
I can't be the only one annoyed with the placement of the atomic number in the thumbnail.

... much like your videos, Alex
I think i just watched the best video ever made. Period.
The music fits the video perfectlly,
Great job on the filming, and the editing is just perfect!!!
Cant wait to see what you make with it!
Linguistically this channel puts Americans to shame. I consider myself bilingual yet both of your abilities to speak English as a second language surpass my Spanish
Lol, Europeans tend to be very good at languages, I’m fluent in Swedish, danish, English, Chinese and know some German and that isn’t even that impressive her in Sweden
I mean, everyone he speaks to in another language also ends up speaking to in English so... XD
I think most of Europe can speak 2 languages, as we are just so close to each others.
Not necessarily perfectly, but enough to hold a basic everyday discussion.
In Europe, France is really not the best country in terms of language learning, at least when I was still in school (so a good couple of years).
But in "collège" (I think Junior High School in USA), in addition to French of course, we had English or German as a second language, or both.
Mostly, we all had English, then in secondary option, German or Spanish.
We could have Latin or Greek lessons too.
Then in "lycée" (High School) you have even more options.
@@jennyange59000 In France I see they speak proper English too, with out any of the ridiculous pronunciations Americans and instead like the English. Which sounds a lot cleaner and goes with most European accents a lot better.
Imagine being able to write off tax expenses for a trip to Istanbul
Sure you can. Depending on the tax laws in your country. Most countries consider business trips as expenses.
And the pan
I would like to hear more about silver as a contact surface to food. Sure this is safe with all kinds of ingredients..?
Its very low on a reactivity series (above gold and platinum) so I assume its relatively safe, it doesnt react with water or acids very much. I guess the concern would be sulfuric compounds? but like? dont put drain cleaner in your cookware, it will however oxidize overtime with sulfurs in the air.
metallic silver is mostly not an issue unless you get quite large amounts of in you, far more than even if all your food was made in silver lined pots. So is fine for this application as it is relatively unreactive so wont form many silver based compounds in the food, and even then it is very small amounts.
Well Silver is naturally anti-microbial.
@@JaxBespoked so is cobalt-60, and that stuff will kill you
@@JaxBespoked Usually anti-microbial things are also anti-anything-living on the cellular level, including humans! However this only matters if the material itself ends up deposited in the food. The reason why copperware are coated with tin, teflon, or in this case, silver, is because it dissolves easily, and bioaccumulates, so it's really bad to ingest.
As far as I know, Silver is very nonreactive, both chemically (at least in the realm of compounds used in cooking) and biologically, which is probably why it's fine as a coating.
Alex your composition of visual and music is outstanding. You and Joshua showed that beauty of a pan like no one would.
incomprehensible
That is the most gorgeous piece of cookware artwork I have ever seen
Those buildings in Turkey have such an interesting look to them
Falxie_ I know there are magnificent building and places but we cant secure some of them because of the government
