As someone that has spent 30 years in the restaurant industry I have never been a fan of the "annual gimmicky pans". I prefer All-Clad professional cookware. However, my sister bought me the two pan set for Christmas and I'll be honest... I wasn't in any hurry to use them. In fact they hung on my pot rack for 3 months before I used them and.... well i was impressed. If cooked well, had a good sear on the meat and then it cleaned up so easily... Ok, so now I will actually use it more than my other pans... It is actually very good...
I was so excited to go out and buy some All-Clad cookware when I became financially able to, and now I never use it... I mostly use my Le Creuset grill pan and my gimmicky nonstick pans!
I have the original for about 2 years now myself and I love it. My nephew put some deep scratches in it about a 6 months into owning it and it's still non-stick. I did want to get a new one because I don't like looking at the scratches but since nothing really sticks to it, it's not really necessary.
After watching your first review for Granitestone pan, I got mine in December and L❤VE it! Even cooking a pork tenderloin in the oven worked well. The only problems I had with the pan is when I do cook something in the oven and there's sauce that splatters and gets on the handle. The handle is hard to clean. My solution...I cover the handle with foil.
Loved the original. My partner burned it on high heat then used strong abrasive and that finished the non stick in the areas where it burned. I went back to bed, bath, and beyond, but they stopped carrying it and only had a smaller one. I found the old size at Home Depot online at a great price and ordered two. THEY ARE GREAT. I have no need for another one right now but I'll see if I can find 1 to buy anyway. This is the BEST, EASIEST TO USE AND CLEAN PAN I HAVE EVER SEEN. I never would have known about this but for your show, so I thank you for simple information that makes one aspect of my life easier. That matters. Thank You James
It is currently 1:30 in the morning in California and might I say after watching this video I immediately followed his link to these pans and got a set of 2 for about 50$ I love amazing non stick pans and this certainly made me purchase a kitchen pan in the middle of the night.. Thank you so much
@@stephen_ Yes, they are still in great condition. After a year, the pans still act as if they were brand new. There's honestly no difference. I do take really good care of them so that's a big impact. The only thing I will note is when I received the pans, there was a small dent on the rim of the pans but honestly it cooks so that's all it matters.
I guess the nonstick has its advantages and disadvantages.as professional chefs rely on some of the food sticking on a bottom of the pan so we can use the fond for making pan sauces cuz that's where all the flavor is
You can take cast iron and stainless to well past 400F and expose the cooking surface to flame without issues. High temperatures and open flame will degrade non-stick surfaces.
Most professional chefs honestly wont make pan sauce. You make a fond way before you cook the food. Never heard of an actual chef make pan sauce. Just beat up some vegetable and big meaty bones in the oven until proper brown and boil that.
I saw your GraniteStone pan review in March and decided to give it a try. Very impressive pan! We liked it so much we bought a ten piece GraniteStone cookware set and promptly gave away our old copper colored non-stick pans.
I don’t buy ANYTHING without checking your chanel first 🥰 You are awesome 😎 I love your reviews and I love your cool family 💖💕 Thank you for all your work!! I always try to shop from Amazon through clicking on your links first 💕💖
There is a pan brand called "The Rock" by Starfrit. They make a double burner griddle/grill pan. I love it. It sears burgers like it is cast iron but I can just put it in my dishwasher and walk away. :) I would be curious to see how they would battle against each other. :)
I have the Heritage Rock set ( same product different name ) , its my favorite set and I own quite a few different pot and pan sets including stainless steel set. I love how things dont stick to it and how easy it is to clean! best investment ever
I have 2. These are the best pans I've ever used. These and my cast iron are all I need for pans. Your original review is what made me want to get one. Glad I did!
I just ordered the two pair set and the price after your additional discount was $48 and shipping was free. This ends up being a really good deal. Thanks for the work you do for all of us consumers!
@@goldfinch102 No chems like Teflon at all so it is safe to use. Seasoning the pan is done to help fill pores to help with the cooking process. I do this each time I need to use soap on the pan, but I mostly wipe out the pan with hot water so that the oil seasoning remains. I do this with my cast iron skillet.
Every time a new non stick pan comes out I'll buy it usually because the last pan I bought is no longer non stick. However I bought a Granitestone pan and they are really as good as they claim. I spent 15 years in the Pub/Restaurant business and I'm very impressed with this pan.
I have a granite rock and granite stone. 2 different sizes. I bought the first off your recommendation (the bigger one) and later bought the smaller one since I loved the first so much. I've had vastly more expensive traditional non-stick pans and they were trash compared to these. I've "evangelized" these pans to friends and family. So thank you for the original review.
This pan is garbage, he's paid to say this stuff, for sure. I posted about how bad it is and no one commented back, not a like, not even a rebuttal saying it was good... it turns out, people have been commenting about how bad it is, but Fakin' Reviews has a way of making it look like a comment is posted without it displaying to everyone else, that's why you won't see any critical comments.
I love the Hexaclad for its even cooking and quick heating. Have had my pans for over a year and love them. They are not completely non-stick, but i would rather not have all those sprayed on non-stick coatings on my pans anyway. very durable. Cook with the lid that has a small air valve. does a great job. Test your pan with large amount of food. The Hexaclad retains its heat which is important for recipes. Cheaper pans do not do well here. No warping.
@@ejunsub thanks for the info. i have not looked into ceramic coated cookware and if there are any health dangers. usually it takes years for us to find out these things.
i just bought this pan last week! haven't had a chance to try it out yet, gonna use it for the first time probably on monday. threw me off i the store, i was looking for "graniterock", but the name was different, but same logo and packaging so i figured it was the same thing
Just a tip for cleaning one of these pans. Put water in it and instead of just soaking, put it on the stove and heat to a summer or boil and everything will come right out.
James, After seeing your review of the GranitStone pro today, I decided to purchase two sets. After making my order I had to Email them with a correction on my Email address. I explained in my Email that I saw your review, and you gave it high ratings. Within 5 minutes Zach Toste answered my Email. He said that they were kind of nervous about what you were going to say, because you are always so tough. A shout out to Zach for being so prompt with his reply and quick attention to correcting my email mistake. A shout out to GranitStone for making such a high quality product, and a shout out to you for being "so tough" of a critic. Because without you being so tough, MANY people would have wasted a lot of money on unacceptable products.
I love that you do cream of chicken with tuna! When I was a kid my mom would make us supper of "slop" which was cream of mushroom and tuna. It's still a favourite of mine. We didn't use it as a sauce but as an actual meal
The 1st Gen. Type Pan with this configuration stone coating came out in the nineties one key feature is that it's not flat it's a porous surface it's got peaks and valleys so the food is actually cooking on top of the peaks therefore you have air getting in between these valleys and there's virtually no way for it to stick that's what makes it a very very good Pan
I bought the hex clad pans after watching your videos. found them used on ebay for a good deal. I freaking love them. I beat the hell out of them and they just laugh and keep going! Might have to give this granite pro a shot too!
Here is a stellar Granitestone review! I just recently bought a full set after trying a pan out because I saw the review on Freakin' Reviews. Thank's to you for your awesome reviews! Here's the scoop, I received the small (5" ?) pan with the set. The recipe I was following said to wipe the pan out before the next step. There was a plastic potatoe bag in the can and, wouldn't you know it! The bag glomped on to the pan! Here's the freakin' part, with just a little elbow grease and a plastic ruler edge, all the plastic came off! (I am arthritic, so my elbow is not very greasy, either.) Thank you for turning me on to these pans!
God, this is just too good to be true. I've dreamed of this kind of efficient cookware for years. Is this really as impressive as it looks like in this video? Awesome video btw.
can confirm these pans are bad ass... I've had one for 2yrs and it's still performing like it did when it came out of the box. just never use steel in them. always plastic, wood, silicone...
I have a Nu Wave cook top. I wanted the GraniteStone pan after your original review but it wasn’t available for induction. Now I’m excited about getting one ASAP. My Nu Wave is by far the most used appliance, hands down.The first one lasted five years before it started acting up. I bought the new version which is even better. I opened the old one up and found repair to be simple. Now I have a backup. The GraniteStone pans will replace my copper, which wear out quite often. Thanks for the review.
Your original video had me sold on the original pans. Since then, I’ve converted my entire family over to them haha. The price to performance ratio is superior to anything on the market currently. Thanks for this new video!
Thanks for the info. Just picked up one of these at the thrift store and was trying to figure out the details of it. Very glad I can use my metal spatula with it.
Great, I just bought the old Granite Pan not too long ago and now they have a better model. Just my luck. I would've liked to see you compare your old Granite Pan against the new one.
I got this pan right after the name change also thanks to the Review you did on it. It was one of the best buys I ever did after the let down that was the copper chef.
I love my Granite Rock pans and got them because of your reviews. The best pans I’ve ever owned. The only downside, and I mean the only, are the two stainless steel rivets that fasten the handle to the pan. Food really likes to stick to them. I seem to spend more time cleaning those than the rest of the pan. Have you had this issue too?
After your original review I went to go buy the original pan. I liked it not only because of your review, but the large, square surface area of the original pan. When they changed the name, they also changed the pan shape, along with its cooking surface which became MUCH smaller(2:26) of this video. I never bought it because of that.
I've actually changed buying decisions based on some of these reviews. I was going to buy a Hydro Flask since the rest of my family has one or more, but I saw the one on the Coldest Water and bought that instead. It really is better and now my family all wants it.
scratchmyback1 Oh, yes! A cooked yolk just tastes different. If I break my yolk while cooking, I’ll make another egg. It is messy as heck, but slopping up the drips with the bread crust is yum, lol!
You should compare that new Granitestone Pro with the Ballarini Bologna pan, which is another pan coated in 'Granitium' and also has Thermopoint, a colour-changing spot on the pan's handle that tells you when it's pre-heated (and also cooled down for washing). I'd love to know the performance vs this new pan and also if the 'Thermopoint' is just a gimmick! The pans seem to be similar price online..
The Ballarini pans I've seen are double the price of the granitestone. $60 for one pan plus shipping not 2 and free shipping plus there are discount codes from the company and James. Also for whatever reason, I haven't seen them in the states only Canada to avoid shipping though to be fair I haven't looked many places.
@@kennethcraig8656 That makes sense as I am in Canada and can't find a Canadian link for the GraniteStone Pro, but the GranitStone 12" is $43 CAD and the Ballarini Bologna 9.5" can be bought for $45 CAD on Amazon, or about $33 USD so I thought it was a good comparison. Maybe Ballarini is a better buy for Canadians at the moment. Edit: the 12.5" Ballarini Bologna is $65, maybe it's not comparable after all!
Like so many others have said... used your discount code to buy the pans. Always been a fan of calphalon nonstick, but they seem to have long term durability issues (at least in my household) Thanks for being an honest review.
I’ve gotten other nonstick cookware that said not to fry anything above medium heat. The website doesn’t say anything, but since this can go up 550F in the oven, do the instructions say that you can fry/sauté on high heat too? Only being able to fry at medium heat or lower is absolutely a deal breaker for me.
Picked up the Graniterock after watching your original video. Was in the market for a new pan and it was well under what I was expecting to pay. It is my daily driver and will continue to be - and I cook in it at least 4 times a week. Worked so well I got my mother to grab one, though it was called the Granitestone at that point. Now it is her go to pan as well. Only drawback to the original was the inability to be used on induction cooktops. So this is definitely on my Xmas list now.
I think they should have more information about the precooking hot oil seasoning, and if it's not done correctly and about every 3 to 4 months, the pans will fail. And whatever you try to cook, will definitely stick and be ruined. If I only save one pan in this world, my job was done perfectly.
Absolutely agree. I just ordered the complete set of pro pots & pans & there was NOTHING in the instructions that tells you to season these pans. Glad I found this video!
Hi! Listen I have an instant pot that I ADORE and use for everything (pressure cooking is the best). The only drawback is that it doesnt crisp or brown obviously. I saw yesterday that they have now come out with an instant pot air fryer combo that is supposed to "replace everything in your kitchen". It has interchangeable lids for pressure cooking and air frying. My finger is hovering over the add to cart button but I would love to see it put to the test first. Anyone else?
Hey James I see that 500k subcriber milestone is creeping up on you. I'd like to prematurely congratulate you on it and thank you for all the great reviews.
Crazy world. I was laying in bed at night watching this video on my phone. Fast forward 48 hours and I’m cooking with this pan. Also order on my phone. Great pan though. Thanks for the video
This looks like a fine pan for my kids since they fry eggs, breakfast meats, or warm things up on the skillet. I think for dinner meals with thicker meat portions, the cast iron or carbon steel pans are ideal since they are extremely heat tolerant for searing.
I don't know if they are against using acids to help clean them, but soaking in lemon juice or vinegar will help lift the stuck food. another option is to boil water in the pan.
I think what's also important is how the pan holds heat. If the newer one has a thicker bottom, then it probably holds heat better than the original. Good thing for when you're cooking steak etc. which soaks up the heat very fast... and is quite literally the difference between having a good crust steak, or a boiled looking steak.
I've got those too, a 10- and a 12-inch. They are great pans. They are probably very similar to the Granite Stone pans, but I think the cooking surface is smoother on the Michelangelo pans. I wish they had an 8-inch or a 6-inch size.
I’ve been waiting for this review I wanted to see how well the new pen worked compared to the old I wish you would’ve made some steaks and pork chops to see how it did with that and with seasonings on it love the video
the Curtis Stone "Dura Pan"s sold by Hsn exclusively have 5 layers of non stick and look a lot like the granite stone.In my humble opinion,the best nonstick in the world! and yes to induction
I have had the Granitestone for about 2 years and it is much browner on the bottom than yours but still non struck and a quick clean up. I always soak it in the sink rather than let stuff dry in it, but it is way superior to any non stick on sale in Wal -Mart with coatings that peel off.
I got the original, after your video. Then my wife got the 9-1/2" , because she liked the 12"! They're still doing good! I might just have to get the new one now. By the way, they work great for scallops, my wife says they taste like Red Lobster's! They don't stick, and they sear perfectly without overcooking them!
Would really love to see what you think of another collection within the The Rock brand pans, the Copper Edition I believe it's called. Same brand but slightly different surface - or something.
Do you have to season the pan? I have a Gotham Steel Pro and never seasoned it. It has a pretty much identical bottom to this pan. So far after a year it’s not too bad. Just curious.
I have both the Granite Stone and StRfrit Rock pots and pans and I abuse the heck out of them. 1.5 years later they are still functioning like new, even after being run through the dishwasher many times.
I got the big pan and the egg pan at the same time. Neither of them could handle an egg pan without something sticking. You are supposed to oil it before first use, but that is implied when they said it was non-stick...
I recognised the test that this pan went through because the design is an almost exact replica of a more expensive pan my family gave me that used to belong to a chef they knew and literally the design is near identical. Doesn't matter what it is little soap and water fixes it.
I've learned from experience that one needs to use the pan at least 6 times to see if it cooks well consistently. Sometimes after cooking the pan a few times the pan changes how it cooks food.
DO NOT USE non stick cooking sprays, they leave a buildup and will make your granite stone start sticking. Happened to me when someone did it, I had to do a lot of light scrubbing to get all the non stick residue off.

God, this is just too good to be true. I've dreamed of this kind of efficient cookware for years. Is this really as impressive as it looks like in this video?
Awesome video btw.
can confirm these pans are bad ass... I've had one for 2yrs and it's still performing like it did when it came out of the box. just never use steel in them. always plastic, wood, silicone...
I have a Nu Wave cook top. I wanted the GraniteStone pan after your original review but it wasn’t available for induction. Now I’m excited about getting one ASAP. My Nu Wave is by far the most used appliance, hands down.The first one lasted five years before it started acting up. I bought the new version which is even better. I opened the old one up and found repair to be simple. Now I have a backup. The GraniteStone pans will replace my copper, which wear out quite often. Thanks for the review.
Your original video had me sold on the original pans. Since then, I’ve converted my entire family over to them haha.
The price to performance ratio is superior to anything on the market currently.
Thanks for this new video!
I have the original granite stone set and love them. nothing has stuck at all and its maintained its non stickness for 7 months of almost daily use.
I just bought a set for my mother for her upcoming birthday with your coupon code to support your work. Thanks for the review.
Thanks for the info. Just picked up one of these at the thrift store and was trying to figure out the details of it. Very glad I can use my metal spatula with it.
Great, I just bought the old Granite Pan not too long ago and now they have a better model. Just my luck.
I would've liked to see you compare your old Granite Pan against the new one.
I got this pan right after the name change also thanks to the Review you did on it. It was one of the best buys I ever did after the let down that was the copper chef.
I love my Granite Rock pans and got them because of your reviews. The best pans I’ve ever owned. The only downside, and I mean the only, are the two stainless steel rivets that fasten the handle to the pan. Food really likes to stick to them. I seem to spend more time cleaning those than the rest of the pan. Have you had this issue too?
After your original review I went to go buy the original pan. I liked it not only because of your review, but the large, square surface area of the original pan. When they changed the name, they also changed the pan shape, along with its cooking surface which became MUCH smaller(2:26) of this video. I never bought it because of that.
I've actually changed buying decisions based on some of these reviews. I was going to buy a Hydro Flask since the rest of my family has one or more, but I saw the one on the Coldest Water and bought that instead. It really is better and now my family all wants it.
I purchased a pair of the GraniteStone pans last week and have been very happy with their performance. Mostly egg, meat and stir fry cooking..
I use it on a gas stove.
I love egg sandwich with over easy egg, it’s delicious
The runny yolk is the best part
That's how I like mine also. They are a bit messier. But they make up for that in taste!
scratchmyback1
Oh, yes! A cooked yolk just tastes different. If I break my yolk while cooking, I’ll make another egg. It is messy as heck, but slopping up the drips with the bread crust is yum, lol!
Just heard Ninja came out with some cookware! I'll be waiting patiently for your review! Would love to hear how Ninja compares to Granite Stone!!!!
Same
Just purchased this pan, I hope it works out for me as well as it did for you. Thanks again James!
You should compare that new Granitestone Pro with the Ballarini Bologna pan, which is another pan coated in 'Granitium' and also has Thermopoint, a colour-changing spot on the pan's handle that tells you when it's pre-heated (and also cooled down for washing). I'd love to know the performance vs this new pan and also if the 'Thermopoint' is just a gimmick! The pans seem to be similar price online..
The Ballarini pans I've seen are double the price of the granitestone. $60 for one pan plus shipping not 2 and free shipping plus there are discount codes from the company and James. Also for whatever reason, I haven't seen them in the states only Canada to avoid shipping though to be fair I haven't looked many places.
@@kennethcraig8656 That makes sense as I am in Canada and can't find a Canadian link for the GraniteStone Pro, but the GranitStone 12" is $43 CAD and the Ballarini Bologna 9.5" can be bought for $45 CAD on Amazon, or about $33 USD so I thought it was a good comparison. Maybe Ballarini is a better buy for Canadians at the moment.
Edit: the 12.5" Ballarini Bologna is $65, maybe it's not comparable after all!
Always love your videos James my favorite video of your is when you reviewed the purple mattress watching that video made me change my mattress
Like so many others have said... used your discount code to buy the pans. Always been a fan of calphalon nonstick, but they seem to have long term durability issues (at least in my household) Thanks for being an honest review.
I’ve gotten other nonstick cookware that said not to fry anything above medium heat. The website doesn’t say anything, but since this can go up 550F in the oven, do the instructions say that you can fry/sauté on high heat too? Only being able to fry at medium heat or lower is absolutely a deal breaker for me.
I got my granitestone diamond pan because of your original video and I'm glad to see a new version.
Picked up the Graniterock after watching your original video. Was in the market for a new pan and it was well under what I was expecting to pay. It is my daily driver and will continue to be - and I cook in it at least 4 times a week. Worked so well I got my mother to grab one, though it was called the Granitestone at that point. Now it is her go to pan as well.
Only drawback to the original was the inability to be used on induction cooktops. So this is definitely on my Xmas list now.
Hahahaha! On a 10 pt. scale how TASTY would you rate the taste of that burnt caramel!
First bite was about a 3. Second bite, maybe a 6.
Freakin' Reviews admirable response
50x times more tasteful as tuna and cream chicken sauce 😐
@@grungeblight He isn't as weird as me...I enjoy glazed donuts followed by Lays (regular salted) potato chips.
You had me at the shrimp cleaning.
I think they should have more information about the precooking hot oil seasoning, and if it's not done correctly and about every 3 to 4 months, the pans will fail. And whatever you try to cook, will definitely stick and be ruined.
If I only save one pan in this world, my job was done perfectly.
Absolutely agree. I just ordered the complete set of pro pots & pans & there was NOTHING in the instructions that tells you to season these pans. Glad I found this video!
Hi! Listen I have an instant pot that I ADORE and use for everything (pressure cooking is the best). The only drawback is that it doesnt crisp or brown obviously. I saw yesterday that they have now come out with an instant pot air fryer combo that is supposed to "replace everything in your kitchen". It has interchangeable lids for pressure cooking and air frying. My finger is hovering over the add to cart button but I would love to see it put to the test first. Anyone else?
Hey James I see that 500k subcriber milestone is creeping up on you. I'd like to prematurely congratulate you on it and thank you for all the great reviews.
Premature congratulator
Crazy world. I was laying in bed at night watching this video on my phone. Fast forward 48 hours and I’m cooking with this pan. Also order on my phone. Great pan though. Thanks for the video
How do you season a pan? You have to do it regulary-how often?
This looks like a fine pan for my kids since they fry eggs, breakfast meats, or warm things up on the skillet. I think for dinner meals with thicker meat portions, the cast iron or carbon steel pans are ideal since they are extremely heat tolerant for searing.
I don't know if they are against using acids to help clean them, but soaking in lemon juice or vinegar will help lift the stuck food. another option is to boil water in the pan.
I think what's also important is how the pan holds heat.
If the newer one has a thicker bottom, then it probably holds heat better than the original. Good thing for when you're cooking steak etc. which soaks up the heat very fast... and is quite literally the difference between having a good crust steak, or a boiled looking steak.
When are you going to review the self cleaning pot and pan set? I would love to see that!!!
You should throw-down with the Michelangelo stone earth frying pan. It ain't playin'. Best I've ever had.
I've got those too, a 10- and a 12-inch. They are great pans. They are probably very similar to the Granite Stone pans, but I think the cooking surface is smoother on the Michelangelo pans. I wish they had an 8-inch or a 6-inch size.
I think you're supposed to use the blue Scotch Brite sponges for cleaning non-stick and more delicate surfaces.
I’ve been waiting for this review I wanted to see how well the new pen worked compared to the old I wish you would’ve made some steaks and pork chops to see how it did with that and with seasonings on it love the video
the Curtis Stone "Dura Pan"s sold by Hsn exclusively have 5 layers of non stick and look a lot like the granite stone.In my humble opinion,the best nonstick in the world! and yes to induction

I've been looking for a durable nonstick fry pan for everyday use and I'm going to give the Granite Stone set a try. Thanks James !
I'm going to need a pan set soon and this is now my #1 pick.
Need a new pan or 2, saw these on a commercial...might just need to invest. Great review as always!
I have had the Granitestone for about 2 years and it is much browner on the bottom than yours but still non struck and a quick clean up. I always soak it in the sink rather than let stuff dry in it, but it is way superior to any non stick on sale in Wal -Mart with coatings that peel off.
Bought with your code . Now to find some lids!
I like to break the yolks for egg sandwiches too but I usually leave my underwear on when I'm cooking shrimp.
Stuart Anderson you shouldn’t leave your underwear on. . .known for 64 years that going commando makes them tastes better. . .😉 😉 😉
😂
I got the original, after your video. Then my wife got the 9-1/2" , because she liked the 12"! They're still doing good! I might just have to get the new one now.
By the way, they work great for scallops, my wife says they taste like Red Lobster's! They don't stick, and they sear perfectly without overcooking them!
Thank you for your most helpful review sir. I decided to give the pan a try since it now supports induction cooktops.
Would really love to see what you think of another collection within the The Rock brand pans, the Copper Edition I believe it's called. Same brand but slightly different surface - or something.
Do you have to season the pan? I have a Gotham Steel Pro and never seasoned it. It has a pretty much identical bottom to this pan. So far after a year it’s not too bad. Just curious.
I have both the Granite Stone and StRfrit Rock pots and pans and I abuse the heck out of them. 1.5 years later they are still functioning like new, even after being run through the dishwasher many times.
I got the big pan and the egg pan at the same time. Neither of them could handle an egg pan without something sticking. You are supposed to oil it before first use, but that is implied when they said it was non-stick...
Thank you for saving us money or letting us know when products actually work!
I have 3 copper pans of different sizes (8", 12", 16") and love them but I'm looking at the Professional Granite Stone pans for my next set.
I recognised the test that this pan went through because the design is an almost exact replica of a more expensive pan my family gave me that used to belong to a chef they knew and literally the design is near identical. Doesn't matter what it is little soap and water fixes it.
Nice but why did you recognize the TEST when the pan looks like a similar one?
Try seasoning your copper pan as you did the GraniteStone pan and see if there is any improvement.
I own the complete original granite stone cook ware. Love them. If the new one comes out with the the whole kit-n-kaboodle I may order them, maybe.
I've learned from experience that one needs to use the pan at least 6 times to see if it cooks well consistently. Sometimes after cooking the pan a few times the pan changes how it cooks food.
I totally need to get this pan. I’m still using the copper pan
Commando style. I spit my drink.
DO NOT USE non stick cooking sprays, they leave a buildup and will make your granite stone start sticking. Happened to me when someone did it, I had to do a lot of light scrubbing to get all the non stick residue off.
