IDK if the inventor does but I've certainly thought about fire arm related cooking. Combine two of my favorite things. Mostly the options are impractical unless you have a belt fed mounted weapon... even then they don't get very practical. That being said a Gatling gun is not as good for it due to the spinning and producing less heat per bullet because of the multiple barrels and spinning.

[@NoodleHausColubrids]

I think beanbag rounds or other less than lethal projectiles would do a better job of tenderizing.

Can you do a "how to season/break in cookware" show? I just bought a new wok as well and Ebbers saying he recently went through the process of breaking his in made me realize I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to seasoning cookware.

[@Emeraldwitch30]

Lol I bought a carbon steel wok just about a year ago too! I have to say a few things occasionally stick, like stir fried ramen noodles. But everytime I use it it seems to get better and better at becoming non-stick. Its basically a matter of use it and seasoning it after every use like I do my cast iron. But its easier on my arms to use. And I occasionally do a deep fry dinner for us in it. Its deep and holds a lovely temp for deep oil frying.(good grief autocorrect 🙄 its frying not farting! Its tried to correct it to that 3 times lol. Maybe I need more coffee 🤣) But use it scrub it clean and dry it over low heat. Once dry i use a bit of oil on a paper towel or a bit of a spray of oil let cool on the hob and put back on the rack. But the colors of the rainbow I ended up with is very cool. On the outside it has darkened and has a rainbowish glaze. Have a great day or night 🥰

[@josephmorris1248]

I was a little concerned by the way the SU-V Gun warped the metal trays 😂

Eh they usually unwarp. I have a tendency to warp mine in the oven.

[@ashrowan2143]

Metal baking trays tend to bend and warp at certain temps if they don't have something heavy enough on them the trays I place my loaf pans on top of always warp when I'm baking bread. After they cool down they usually warp back with an ungodly noise that scares the crap out of anyone not expect it

[@The063091]

It was certainly nothing warped by the gun itself. It is a highly used sheet tray, they often tend to warp from high use in the oven at high temps. Even home chefs have some sheet trays that have warped.

I’m addicted to cast iron, it’s the only thing my parents ever cooked with. That is a silly price!!!

If you ever want a good cast iron pan I’ll send you one

[@randomhero8786]

OMG this. As far as material costs go, that single pan is an appreciable % of the cost of a literal ton of cast iron. Even if you want to assume fairly small batch production, very generous wages for the makers, lots of QC and refinement and so on, 120 dollars is bonkers. Part of the reason cast iron is such a good material is how simple and cheap it is to work with. Then as you point you, cast iron "forever" pans aren't a new idea. You can find a cast iron that someones great grandma bought in the 1890s, and as long as it hasn't been left to rust it works the exact same as a modern pan (and even if it has been left to rust it might be restoreable). Every cast iron pan ever made that hasn't rusted through or made it to a scrap yard is still out there and usable. Check your local thrift store.

[@Virginiafox21]

It really depends if you want the factory seasoning or not. To completely reseason a pan, you have to get all of the factory/old seasoning off, which is a lot of elbow grease with steel wool or scouring pad. The next thing to keep in mind is you never want to put seasoning on a wet pan, or any water at all. So you get it as dry as possible (I do it in the oven). Oil choice is another thing - any vegetable oil/blended oil is fine, as long as it can withstand pretty high heat. The newest thing is flaxseed oil, which is expensive but gives pans a mirror like finish and makes them very nonstick. My method is: wash/scour off seasoning, place in cold oven. Turn oven on to 400F. Take out pan once oven is preheated. Carefully cover all surfaces in a light layer of oil of choice. Put back in oven until not shiny. Done if regularly seasoned, and repeat the process for first seasoning. It'll take hours and several coats of oil to season or reseason for the first time. And even then it won't be that good until cooked on regularly. I recently reseasoned all my mom's cast iron using this method, and it works. (they were all rusty af and I couldn't stand it anymore!)

[@AlanHope2013]

You only have about a million to choose from on KZbin, unfortunately.

That pan seems way overpriced for being...a pan. I have a 12" cast iron skillet that I bought new for around $30, and it has been an amazing addition to my kitchen. I'm not sure how basically machining out the inside so it's smooth makes it worth so much more. Lodge skillet ftw!

[@johnnyCheeseburger]

Not to mention most antique/vintage cast iron is very smooth. You can certainly find an antique cast iron pan for much less than $120 and it would require the same amount of upkeep.

[@opmaus]

@@johnnyCheeseburger Exactly. Also, that blowtorch looks super cool and all, but if it's going to warp the baking sheet like that every time you use it...that seems like a problem for the baking sheets.

[@faithnfire4769]

@@opmaus I really think it's more of a "finish the dish" at the end of a get together than a normal kitchen implement myself. (Course if you have the kitchen for it why not). But on a porch or backyard it makes a lot of sense if you don't have time/space/fire for a full barbeque or whatever. Maybe get a wire rack or heavier tray Or warm them in the oven beforehand so the warping is less.

[@logruszed]

You can get a Lodge cast iron that will be better pre-seasoned than the pan featured here for like fifty or sixty dollars. I suspect the milling of the cook surface may even make sticking worse as possibly the slight uneven surface of a traditional cast iron pan works with the seasoning to reduce surface sticky area.

[@Karma-qt4ji]

Bought a Lodge pan through Amazon UK last year for around 35 quid and ye, you are spot on with your assessment. Brilliant pan with a good reputation at half the price. Nuff said.

[@FireAndFoodCompany]

I suspect it's just a bad seasoning job. Most older cast irons are smooth and people never had an issue. Heck, the thin black steel pans a lot of kitchens use are smooth af. The roughness of new cast irons is mainly to cut costs, it doesn't really matter once you have a proper layer of seasoning on there and it's what has allowed cast iron to stay so cheap

[@danielahitstheroad]

I bought a cast iron skillet for around 30€, took a grinder to it cause I didn't like the preseasoning, re-seasoned it and it has been smooth, non-stick and a dream to handle ever since. Didn't have a fancy leather sheath though.

[@asquithmainlines699]

I can’t get my head around the fact that someone re-invented the cast iron pan and came up with a cast iron pan. I have a few different Lodge pans, you can’t go wrong with any of them.

[@KhajiitTrader]

Lodge casts it with itty-bitty bumps to make their factory seasoning stick better so you can cook with it straight out of the box, which they're really transparent about on their website and on the care instructions. Smooth pans work just as well with good seasoning, they're just a little harder to get good layers of seasoning on.

I'd pick Suvi gun too. The Coldbrew gadget doesn't seem to add much to me for the price it has, and the Prepd skillet kind of failed the practical test despite being prepped according to the instructions, so the price feels very high and unproven (while the grip makes me worry it might just end up slipping out of my hand while handling it once grease gets involved!)... but the gun is both very effective at what it does, and an amazing product to to whip out at a gathering. Yeah, it is cheeky and there is probably a cheaper and/or better-performing product for what it does, but this one is all about the impression it leaves behind and it rocks it. That kind of added value is what I'd expect from something crowdfunded.

@@MtnNerd The secret to seasoning cheap cast iron pans is removing the seasoning by soaking in boiling water, and deliberately rusting the pan by leaving heavily salted water in it for a couple of days. Scrubbing it out with steel wool then rusting and scrubbing it out one more time before reseasoning. The controlled rusting process removes the high rough spots giving a much smoother finish.

@@alt5494 - I just used a random orbit sander with progressively finer grit.

[@alt5494]

@@JHNielson4851 That method works but embeds aluminum oxide and silica into the cast iron. The rust method sets the pan up better to become perfectly smooth over time.

Really liked the negative feedback on the products. It really felt like a real review. I don't know why sometimes theses reviews feel fake but this one is great Thanks lads

“We’re all tested” is an A+ segue that would not have made sense until 2020 happened

[@sophieOT7]

Ben with the flamethrower is so hilarious i love it!! i laughed so hard my sides hurt now 🤣🤣🤣🤣 ... and i love how Ben is so honest in all his reviews, same for all of of you, so i know i really dont need a gadget for everything

[@BRELrawr]

"no, the other e" idk why i laughed so much at that 😂

[@CFutureMe]

Mike clutching onto the fire extinguisher for dear life is what got me. And all of their facial expressions 😂😂 Loved this one boys, keep the flamethrower aside for when James visits 😉😋

[@jessicagross3008]

Ben looked like he was REALLY enjoying the um flame thrower. Lol

[@SpeedyOwl]

As soon as ben started weilding the fire you could tell he was gonna pick that lol, the smile. Barrys face when the sauce got poured on the poutine hahaha. Can't believe Jamie went for that stereotypical Jamie bbq gadge that must be tested on steak style thing and won it haha!

[@joeees7790]

A cast iron pan milled "smooth" that needs as much seasoning as a non milled pan and it costs 1/3+ more the the normal cast iron? They had people back that? I believe there's a quote attributed to PT Barnum or Mark Twain that may apply.

[@strayiggytv]

I'm surprised more people on the comments didn't talk about that. Gurentee the people who backed that were expecting a cast iron pan that didn't need to be seasoned. Whether or not thats what the Kickstarter promised, I dunno, but I bet that's what people thought it was about.

[@randomhero8786]

The milling smooth is a nice feature. I've done that myself with a cast iron pan and it does work really well. There's a reason people aren't manufacturing 'roughened' steel pans after all. And if you don't have the tools for it, I can see wanting to small pay a premium for that. You get better surface contact, and you get more even heat transfer sine you wont end up with little craters of thicker seasoning. That's not a big deal, or even necessary, but it's fine. It'll help it be a little more rust resistant as well. Basically some of the same logic as enamelled cast iron It's still cast iron though, so it still needs seasoning. Being smooth doesn't help it be non stick either. It actually makes it worse if it's just bare cast iron. "sticking" is a material interaction between the two surfaces and if it'll stick improving the surface contact does not help that! The layer of polymerized oil is what makes it nonstick.

[@toddellner5283]

I backed the SVU Gun on the original Kickstarter campaign. It has performed like a champ. Fast learning curve. Quick sear. And it even does a good job as a substitute for the Grill Gun. Charcoal gets lit much faster than with a chimney.

[@Serperi]

I love how the metal plate under the steak got deformed from flamethrower heat too.

[@koelekahuna9370]

The gun looks awesome. For sousvide steak I'd say a great accessory. Was there any propane flavor? That's my only concern. Butter in cast iron does three things: 1 smoke fills the house, 2 potentially keeps cooking the steak, 3 adds fat and potentially alters the flavor of the steak.

[@christopherbiomass7155]

I'm assuming that the crew gave Ebbers a MAP-PLUS canister instead of a regular propane canister because they knew the flame would be 25% HOTTER THAN PROPANE.

[@Red-in-Green]

Is a flamethrower ever necessary? No. But is it spectacular? Absolutely!

[@BlackMetalHappiness]

As usual, Jamie is pure chaos, Barry falls for the pretty and pretentious, Mike is distracted by the shiny thing and Ben never fails to throw in a Bennuendo.

[@nanniwa]

A couple of years ago I saw an ad for the Always Pan, but when I checked the price, it was way too expensive for me ($149), so I started looking for something similar on Amazon. I found the Carote aluminum pan with "granite stone" non-stick surface and Bakelite handles. It came with a nice vented glass lid and had a pour spout lip. it cost about $30, a reasonable price. It's substantially made, more or less non-stick, doesn't require seasoning, and deep enough for me to make my one-pan meals in. I love it. I still don't have a good cast iron pan, but I don't feel the need for one right now. The Carote pan satisfies my cooking needs.

are we not gonna talk about how smooth ben's fake coin-toss was

[@thisissooolegit]

That Su-V gun is INCREDIBLE. Bought one a while ago. And the grill-v is even better.

i'd never use it.. but they're all kinda toys and one of them is a flamethrower. It sorta wins by default.

Seasoning cast iron with flaxseed oil is amazing. Thin layer, upside down in oven, heat to 500 Fahrenheit, set timer for 1 hr once fully heated, after hour turn off and leave in oven till fully cooled.

[@generalpenultimo6502]

I love how Jamie knew the whole time that he will win this 😂

[@mesiebert]

I agree with Ben. That torch looks like a bit of kit that gives you an experience, and he was genuinely having fun. I’d have the same silly grin if I was handed one of those.

[@tricks.2661]

got excited about having 'benny hill' style music over the experiment, but there was none

[@nurhayatizakbah3858]

I have the cold brew maker. I love it. It makes cleaning the ground easy. I uses the grounds for my plants.

[@VinegarAndSaltedFries]

I was gunna purchase tHe Prep’d cast iron, but they wouldn’t answer my Flour question on even heating…so I pulled out. However I did find an incredible Kickstarter gadget that was delivered…it’s called the Mannkitchen Pepper Cannon and while expensive is an absolute must have in m6 opinion for anyone who grills a lot or is just sick of a million pepper mill cranks.

[@SortedFood]

Thanks for that, we will take a look at The Mannkitchen Pepper Cannon :)

I love how natural Ben looked wielding the flamethrower

We needed a pepper for that flame thrower and Baz to flame it!
