Stoked you’re finally giving the Solidteknics gear a run. I’ve been a convert for a couple of years with experience in both cast iron and the wrought iron and have to say the lighter weight, quicker to heat up (and cool) and overall ease of use with the ST pans is a winner for me. Holds a seasoning very well. worth checking out their XHD versions in a pan and flat skillet which is 4mm thick,31cm in size,2.6kg (I have) and is a beast!

Solidteknics gear is awesome! Your comment about the importance of seasoning is spot on too. ST is not ***SPUN*** steel, it’s wrought pressed steel. They make short handled versions too, which are easier to fit in the camper when touring around. Work exceptionally well over open fire, gas or electric. Induction is probably really good too - but I’ve never tried it. Thanks forvyourvexcellentbvgannel!👌👏👏👏🤙😃

Love cooking on a grill like that over the fire. The flavour of the smoke just enhances the flavour of the steak in my opinion. I haven't used the others to cook with over a fire but have cooked steak done in the frying pan at home and its not bad but I much rather on the grill over a fire or even straight on the coals. As for Induction the only Positive I can see from them is there is no wait period to get a good fire and coals base set up. They are quick and easy and a waste of money. A gas burner is just as quick and I will say better not to mention much cheaper.

I am yet to be convinced on the whole "mass holding heat" thing. Yes, I agree that the thinner SPUN steel (oh, look....there's the codeword) will initially lose heat, but being thinner, I feel it will also very quickly recover the heat. Whereas the heavier mass of cast iron may not lose the heat as quickly, but it will take a lot longer to recover (thus the having to move the steak around the pan). I would appreciate your professional opinion on this, as I am no expert in the cooking department, and may be seeing this all wrong. Love your content, keep up the great work. Cheers.

I have cooked in both cast iron & SPUN steel (Hillbilly) camp ovens & got similar results whichever one I used. The Spun steel unit heats more quickly & is appreciably lighter to carry, especially in these times where we are able to get our vehicles weighed to satisfy Insurance Companies that our combinations are not overweight.

Actually the Solid Teknics is not spun steel. It is wrought steel - made from a single sheet of Australian steel that is pressed into shape without a separate riveted handle.

Totally shocked that spun got your vote over cast, My local IGA supplied some of the best T-bone steaks, was so amazed, they were huge, I'd season and marinade them then straight on the og Weber, as hot as possible, grilled asparagus and mushroom sauce, all home made, no packet crap, favorite camping meal of all time, Steak in a pan is only necessary if you want top flambe IMO, can fancy it up a bit more with grilled tomatoes with panko but can't really pull that off directly with fire without using a pan. nor can you do the sauce without a pan, anyway, Fire and grill all the way Harry, also congrats once more for blowing my mind and being with Ronny, Torban, Lecca and all the crew at the show on channel 7, so happy for yas.

I think you SPUN a tale with the SPUN steel pan because it's wrought iron steel from a solid piece of wrought ion steel. Also bet the handle is cooler on the solidteknics than the the cast iron. The solidteknics will be non stick if seasoned with ricebran oil.

The best steaks I’ve ever had are those cooked in an oven type environment using charcoal such as a Cobb oven or Weber kettle oven where there is a 360 degree heat circulation around the steak. It’s pretty fool proof and hard to over cook or dry out a steak cooking this way. Cooking over a flame on a skillet you lose overhead heat and it dosent keep the moisture in. But I love your videos 👍
