    Also worth noting is that thicker metal trays and sheets have greater thermal mass, meaning they take a bit longer to heat up, but they also take longer to cool down - in other words they retain heat and continue to cook the food on them even after the tray/sheet has been removed from the heat source.

I’ve been battling anorexia nervosa for 16 years and can’t remember what it feels like to truly enjoy food, or to feel like I deserve to eat and take up space.

      Wishing you all the best in your recovery. If you're having a day when you're struggling to eat, please try to have a milk shake that is fortified with vitamins (you can buy them from any pharmacy). The milkshake doesn't register in your stomach the same way that food can, making you feel bad. This really helped me when I had an eating disorder. At least you will be getting some good nutrition that your body needs to be healthy. You deserve to eat and to be happy! You truly do. Sending you an Internet hug -x-

    I learned that I should always use parchment paper to bake my sugar cookies. Using cooking spray to keep them from sticking not only made them spread out horribly, they also STILL STUCK.
    No spray meant that they didn't spread as much, but they stuck so badly they were ruined.

    I find it a bit funny, that on a debunk video we get an ad for a product that might need debunking: "Kamikoto is a brand of a marketing company (Galton Voysey) in Hong Kong. This company is known for selling different brands under foreign names to trick customers into thinking that they are buying an authentic brand."

    • @SilverDragonJay
      @SilverDragonJay ปีที่แล้ว +133

      If you are in the market for such a debunking, Shadiversity has done one. Its about an hour long though so I'll summarize. Basically, Kamikoto knives are made out of rather poor steal that is sharpened really nicely the first time, but because the steel is bad it quickly looses its edge and therefore is worse then a $20 knife which will hold an edge for a lot longer. His conclusion was basically to buy a cheaper knife made out of a certain blend of stainless steel (can't recall the specific code), invest in a decent sharpener and learn how to do it properly. Alternatively, you can take your cheap knives to a blacksmith or butcher or something and pay them to do it. It might be hard to find someone providing such a service, I personally have only found it being advertised at a hardware store.

    I think the theory that darker pans heat things up more in the oven comes from the idea that dark surfaces absorb more heat from the sun which doesn’t quite translate into heat from an oven.

      I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss that, there probably are situations where it can make a difference. I'd like to see a more scientific test to determine what proportion of heat in an oven is typically transferred through conduction, convection and radiation. This will depend on the type of heating element used and whether you're also running a fan. A broiler for example works almost entirely through direct radiation, so if you're trying to use it to preheat a pan or a pizza steel, the proportion that it absorbs or reflects will matter a lot.

    • @fletch84

      Ann doesn't mention that darker pans not only absorb light better, but they also absorb *radiant heat* better. Conventional ovens rely primarily on radiation for heating. I really don't know why she didn't actually ever test the colors of the pans as a variable, when she was trying to debunk specifically that.

      @@gelusvenn5063 That is how ovens heat things. They primarily use radiation and it's all the same stuff. Infrared radiation is light as much as the visible spectrum is. That being said, something that is "black" absorbs visible spectrum light not necessarily infrared because it doesn't need to absorb infrared to appear black to our eyes. And in any case all it's doing is absorbing heat then sending it back out again.

      The colour of a pan only matters for heat transfer via radiation, as darker-coloured objects absorb more radiation, which means they heat up better. Heat transfer via radiation is generally slow, and if you stick an 80 F pan into a 400 F oven, the major source of heat gained by the pan will be through conduction and convection - both of which are much, MUCH quicker that radiation and do not care about the colour of an object. Heat transfer via radiation, in the presence of conduction and convection, is generally so slow that it is considered negligible and skipped.

    The quality of the knives is besides the point. The companies that make and promote them and other brands are the issue. These companies are all run by the same bunch of people and their business models are allegedly scammy. Apparently this was known for years. Also look into "Established Titles" and "scam". I just recently found out myself, having watched many videos sponsored by both companies. Some of my favourite channels on YT were used to promote their questionable products. We wouldn't want to support such sponsors, if they are indeed as scammy as is claimed, so maybe the loss of such a sponsor is unavoidable, one way or the other. I sincerely hope, that Ann will be able to resolve this to her satisfaction and without any drama.
    Anyway, that's something I wouldn't want to have to deal with myself, so apologies for pointing it out in yet another comment on this video. Hopefully I was at least able to point out from where the controversy stems.

    I‘m sorry but that sponsorship can‘t be real. Kamikoto makes extremely overpriced knifes out of cheap steal that may or may not be sourced in Japan. Everything they tell and show you in their promotions is what you call disinformation. You can sharpen any piece of metal to cut like that through soft food. But because they use a really soft, cheap steal, their knifes loose their edge very fast compared to actual premium knifes, thats why they instantly try to sell you a wetstone. And yes you basically can‘t break the blade because its so soft it bends before snapping.

    This video brought an interesting idea to my mind, specifically with the fairy floss one. Ann pointed out they made the cotton candy/fairy floss video knowing it wouldn't work and I thought to myself how strange that is to do, but then it clicked. If someone were to try the "hack", it would inevitably fail. The person would have gathered all the materials for the hack and feel as though they messed something up, so they'd RE-WATCH the video, probably several times, to see where they may have gone wrong. They're basically forgoing honesty to get people to frustratingly re-watch their videos in an attempt to make these fake hacks work. I don't like it, but it's actually a pretty good way to get your otherwise worthless videos replayed. A hack that actually works probably only needs to be seen once or twice, but a hack that can't work can be watched an infinite amount of time with no success. It's almost like playing on insecurity and daring someone not to quit just because the hack didn't work for them the first X times.

    I think the "darker pans cook faster" thing is because the darker pans absorb more infrared radiant heat from the oven elements.
    I don't know whether Australian ovens are more like UK ovens (with covered bottom elements, and often with convection fans) or North American ovens, but in N.A. the bottom element is almost always uncovered - so when the oven is cooking there's both convective heat from the the air as well as direct radiant heat from the elements to contend with. Most cake mix instructions here in N.A. tell you to reduce the cooking time and/or the temperature when cooking with dark metal pans.

    Ok but that debunking of the baking pans one wasn't only extremely informative and entertaining, but now I'm making a new shopping list for what pans I want to buy in the future haha. Another great video!

    As someone who doesn't care if they're eating "ice cream" or "frozen dessert," I cannot fathom why this matters to the people it matters to, and why someone had to fake a test for it.

      My only hunch is that the "hack" is trying to capitalize on people's fears of processed/adulterated food.

      It matters if you want good quality and good tasting ice cream. But literally no one’s gonna buy a scoop, shine a light on it and then return it because it glows, even if it was true. If you want good quality ice cream, only buy the one labeled as gelatto that’s properly cooled.

      They taste very different. If you happen to like both then that certainly makes shopping simpler :).

      @@SvobodovaEva Gelatto is different from ice cream... Personally I don't like gelatto at all. The key is to learn the names or ingredients to look for of whatever you personally like.

    that feeling when a debunking video on TH-cam taught me more than the whole school course... Thanks so much for interesting info Ann! Especially for examples perfectly animated by your son :D

    I'm so glad that I found your channel and I love watching your videos! I hope you make lots lots more about interesting recipes and debunking because I had no idea that the color of the pan actually doesn't matter at all. That was something my mom mistakenly taught me

    I love when companies like Kamikoto say they use “Japanese steal.” Japanese steel makers make a range from fantastic knife steels to garbage steels, just like any other country with a steel industry. Speaking of garbage knife steels, Kamikoto’s Genten series knives are made of SUS420J2, a highly stainless but very low carbon budget steel that’s not precisely made & contains contaminants that can effect performance. Worse than that it’s hardened to HRC 53 +/- 2. Kitchen knives need to be softer than pocket knives to be sure but you should be looking for at least HRC 56 +/- 2, HRC 53 is just not good enough. On the other hand the Ganjo series is made of SLD, a very good semi-stainless tool steel very similar to D2 but they harden it to HRC 62 +/- 2. That’s already too high, risking chipping the edge if you (for example) hit bone or a ceramic plate whilst carving/chopping meat but remember that +/- 2? That means it could be as hard as HRC 64 which would make it very brittle. Ideally a steel like SLD should be at HRC 58 +/- 1 for a kitchen knife, making it much “tougher.” In knife terms “tough” means the edge will roll or “burl” rather than chipping when it hits something like bone or a ceramic plate. @How To Cook That

    I can't believe you are promoting kamikoto now. Their knives are not any better than what you could buy in the local supermarket.
    Shadiversity did a great video on them, and tested them.

    I remember reading that the “it depends on the color” comes from the past when something black was iron and something gray was iron. So you could tell which one was a better conductor at a glance. Now a days, well, you can’t.

    Found your channel a few months ago and I am absolutely addicted. Wholesome content, debunking viral videos, using your platform to stick it to the man (or rather the algorithms). You are great!
