Close to all of my pans are from de buyer, Despite the fact that they are made in France ;-) No, they are Right over the border from here (south Germany), so I buy kind of local and I really like them.

I nearly lost my mind over the 32cm affinity model on my electric stove. It started out perfectly, but after like a year of use it suddenly decided to become a spinner pan... Heated it up and gave it a few good wacks with a rubber hammer to bend it back into shape (can really recommend that for spinner pans). Since then i'm really afraid to deglaze the hot pan with any room temp liquids. Keep up the great content, greetings from germany!

@@UncleScottsKitchen I have managed to give the pan a slight concave shape, when it heats up on the stove it has a perfectly flat connection to the burner. No wobble or spin. After heating up the pan, I put it upside down on an old wooden cutting board (so it will hold its shape while cooking, hopefully) and gave it a few centered whacks with a rubber mallet. The kind you take camping to put those metal tent herrings into hard grund. I gave the same treatment to my mineral b omelette pan that i turned into a spinner on a friends induction stove. Both are performing like new so far. Just took a while to establish the perfect concave shape by turning the pan and whacking it from both sides - maybe this is the reason for my hesitancy... And the fact that i finally managed to "repair" my beloved 200$ pan by whacking it with a rubber mallet :D got some pork tenderloin for a nice saltimbocca waiting in the fridge, i'll deglaze that with some wine and let you know if it still works :)

@UncleScottsKitchen from one Southern boy to another here's how you can bread your squash much easier. Cut up your squash, I use normal yellow squash, put it in a bowl and season it with salt, pepper, and your cayenne if you want. Give it a good stir and let it sit for a few minutes, the salt will draw out the moisture. Then you can put a spoonful or two of cornmeal in, I use equal parts cornmeal and flour, and use a spoon to stir/toss to coat.

I saw a KZbin video similar to that (I can't remember the name exactly but it was something like Mountain Woman or something like that) and she did something very similar. I tried and my squash never seemed to get wet enough. I wonder if it has something to do with how ripe/ready the squash is? Or maybe maybe in Utah it's so dry it evaporates? Might work better in the Southern humidity.

I recently started cooking on my stainless steel pan. First I tried frying an egg on canola oil using the "water bead" method, the water beaded nicely, and... the egg pretty much became one with the pan, had to use a heavy duty metal scrubber to clean the mess. I tried that 3 times, should have been 3 times a charm, it was 3 times a mess. I found your video about cooking eggs on stainless steel, carbon steel and cast iron, tried using your "butter" method and it worked like a charm! After a few fried egg tests I cooked some carbonara on the pan (starting with rendering bacon on cold pan) and again, worked like a charm. Assuming I was a stainless steel pro now I tried frying an egg in canola oil once again, trying to recreate the steps of frying on butter (waiting a little bit to heat the pan, then adding oil and waiting again a little bit for it to heat up) and the egg sadly became one with the pan. What am I doing wrong or do I not understand? Can you help, please?
@UncleScottsKitchen8 ай бұрын
Sounds to me like you are doing everything right and the egg likes butter more than the canola. If everything is working right except for when you use the canola, then it's either the canola itself or we need to figure out what to do differently with the pan or the egg. I'd make sure the eggs are not cold... you can put them in a bowl of warm water for five minutes if you are in a hurry. Then I would try a little extra heat and oil and see if that helps, then if the egg slides then start dialing back on both until you find the sweet spot. I think the butter and pan are usually around 230F when the egg goes in. Maybe the canola needs more heat before the egg goes in? Could also try a test egg with a different oil and see if that works. Let me know how it goes... might have to do a canola/egg video if people are having trouble with it.

@@UncleScottsKitchen Thanks for the reply! Maybe the egg I used was too cold, I tried to do the same thing when I was using butter - take the egg out of the fridge, crack it into a bowl and wait a little bit).

In Europe, the 'best' pots are the Atlantis line and the according skillets are called the Proline series.

As long as you make sure the skillet is made of 4.8mm thick 7ply material, you got the right ones. And not everyting in those lines is made of ply material. DeMeyre uses ply material for the skillets and sauce pots and a traditional sandwich bottom construction (but with an extremely thick and heavy bottom) with thinner side walls for the other stuff. The idea is to only use heavy ply material where it adds to the function of the cookware. That way you have the weight and material thickness where it serves the cooking process most.

Question : if budget is not an issue, would you rather go towards an Inocuivre or an Affinity ? I got copper on backorder, but you are making me reconsider ...
@UncleScottsKitchen2 жыл бұрын
Great question and I am going to put in the next Pancast. In general, I think copper is the best. For most people the price is an issue, so that Inocuivre copper I showed in the video can be $200 - $250 more per pan. So $500 for a frying pan is a different animal altogether than $250. BUT, if price is no issue, I'd go Inocuivre. It's a 2mm pan. If you look around you can also find some Mauviel 250 series (they stopped making them and swapped to a 200 series, but a few are still available). They are going to be more expense still, but they are 2.5 mm... go as thick as you can afford with the copper.
@LostTheGame62 жыл бұрын
@@UncleScottsKitchen So, I can't find any stock left on the Mauviel 250 here in France, so it seems to be indeed dead and buried. The 200 is somewhat in stock, or at least on backorder. Quick aside : Mauviel pricing is very strange : for a 12 inch, Inocuivre is 290€ the Mauviel 150 is 190€ (2mm vs 1.5mm, makes sense) and the Mauviel 200 is around 310€. but for a 10 inch the Inocuivre is 130€ but the Mauviel 150 is 180€ (??) and the 200 is around 240€. For scale, here in France the Affinity is only 110€ for a 12in and 80€ for a 10in, so I might just add one to the backorder 😁.

@UncleScottsKitchen2 жыл бұрын
Hi Jose! I think it's a little aggressive, but at the same time, the All-Clad Copper Core is even more at $265 and they are kind of comparable pans. I know De Buyer raised prices on the Mineral B Pros not too long ago. I think the inflation in the economy has made things seem a little out of whack. So I think it's recommended at that price... 5-ply high end stainless is in that price range these days.

@@UncleScottsKitchen Why compromise? If you have used a well made induction stove once, you will never go back to normal electric coils / infrared. So better not get a hybrid (except a gas / induction one, that's another topic) and go for induction only. But make sure it has large coils and the best possible heat control. Be careful with 'flex zones', many of those only have a few tiny coils underneath and mostly consist of ... air. So a large coil may be better than a huge looking flex zone that mostly consists of empty space between a few tiny coils that cover only a small fraction of the zone. That's why I went with my 5 zone Electrolux stove top. It has four equally sized outer zones (~8'', one single coil each) and a larger center zone (~11'', combined inner coil and an outer coil with less windings to keep the stove within the power limit of privat households). That way, I can use any pot / skillet up to ~11'' on any outer coil and my larger pots / skillets up to ~14'' in the center. I never liked stoves with different sizes for each burner as it limits what cookware you can use at the same time. On induction, it makes even less sense as you always can use a smaller pot on a larger coil. The magnetic field conforms to the smaller pot as long as it has the minimum required size. So go with the largest coils possible as long as it doesn't exceed the power limit of your kitchen. Furthermore, it doesn't always have to be the most expensive stove top. I've seen 'premium' induction stoves with pathetical tiny coils underneath. My Electrolux 90cm 5 zone stovetop cost around 750€. It was the only induction stove with all outer burner of equal and decent size. Most other stoves have either flex zones (which often suck due to terrible coverage with coils underneath) or all coils of different (and mostly smaller) sizes.
