I'm sorry I must have smoked too much weed. I have an All-Clad stainless I don't even pay attention to Teflon

[@sandraclay8069]

I have been using my Alll Clad pots and pans for about 9 years now. I have cast iron skillets that are 55 years old also. I cook pretty much every night for my family. My pots and pans have held up just fine, especially my non-stick pans which I use every time I cook.

[@cheetocairo]

I switched to cast iron about 4 years ago and it's amazing. It's really not hard to maintain them and once the seasoning is built up, I can fry an egg without adding extra oil. And if I continue to maintain them, they can be passed down for generations.

[@splashpit]

I bought a cast iron pan when I moved out of my parents house 35 years ago , when my girlfriend later wife moved in she added her non stick that lasted a few months , I used that cast pan at lunchtime today.

[@tpen891]

Cast iron will last forever. Don't waste money on these China made trash.

[@TerryKashat]

A little of the oils below go a LONG way and truly never hurt nobody. Butter (grass fed) Ghee (grass fed) Olive oil (extra virgin in glass / $15 and above) - not high heat Coconut oil (extra virgin) No reason to use any other oil.

[@maylani3697]

I’ve been sucked into trying the fancy brands too. Never found one that I was happy with. When my mother passed away. I inherited the cast iron frying pan that I remember her ALWAYS using…It’s the greatest pan ever! And, talk about lasting a lifetime? That frying pan is at least 50 years old and still going strong! 🍳

[@0annonymous]

I actually invested in some permanently coated cast iron pans, and they're nice I like how cast iron can actually hold heat

[@sideshot3882]

i went stainless steel years ago once you get the hang of it like anything you will never go back

[@terywetherlow7970]

@sideshot: I pick up stainless @ thrift stores. Older women bought Stainless when it was decent and it has held up well. Prior to 70's they couldn't sell garbage like they do today.

[@0annonymous]

Stainless steel is fine, but it can stain and be awful hard to clean to make it look like new I also learned how to preserve my pans for LONGER just by cooking on LOWER heat I discovered how cooking on lower heat has benefits Not only does cooking on lower heat help protect your pans, but it also makes your burners last longer Someone did something right because the old stove that came with my place is still working The stove is from the days when they had different colored appliances, so someone did something right to help make it last that long

[@Visitkarte]

THANK YOU! Expensive non stick is a ridiculous waste of money.

[@violetviolet888]

ALL nonstick coated pans are a waste of money and dose you with PTFE & PFAS toxins. They are made to PROFIT corporations and fill landfills due to planned obselescence.

[@bikeny]

I make it a point to dismiss 'celebrity' products from the get-go. I would rather they do the reviews of the stuff and then announce who makes the better item. But to buy 'jane doe cookware' because jane doe is a chef, well, like you said, the name is probably slapped on low-quality stuff. I also don't listen to endorsements from them when they are shilling for whatever. I guess basically my spidey-sense kicks in whenever I happen to see any ad from anyone that is a celebrity or even a D-list one.

[@cdrone4066]

I bought Allclad pans at TJ Max, the most expensive was $35.00 for a 12 inch.

[@maryanncarmody5646]

Omgosh I almost lost it when you mentioned All-Clad first… then you clarified, thank goodness! I have the D3 Stainless and love them.😎

[@barryhaley7430]

I totally agree with your non stick All Clad pans. I love their SS 3D pans but their non stick wear no better than a $30 pan. They last a couple years max.

[@Thommadura]

At Costco Right now they have a box with a 10" and 12" Tramontina TRI-Ply Fry pans for $29 - what a steal and there is not enough of a difference between them and all clad to pay ten time the price for all clad. I bought my Tramontina Tri Ply pots back when Americas Test Kitchen recommended them in their SECOND year (almost 30 years ago) and frankly I do not see why anyone buys anything else. I have Electric stoves - live in the middle of farm country and no gas -= and so when the bottoms of the pots invariably get too stained - a little oven cleaner brings them back to perfection.

[@emjay2045]

I agree completely!. About 30 years ago I got an All Clad LTD set, and then later added a nonstick fry pan. Well, that Allclad nonstick lasted maybe a year, then in the dumpster. The original set, still going like new. Like your reviews.

[@Zzyzx--]

I have the Tramontina 14" non-stick fry pan, their commercial grade 8-10-12" aluminum non-stick frying pans and their 12" non-stick saute pan with a glass lid. They're some of my favorite cookware, always get good results using them. Best part, all were bought very inexpensive at Costco, I don't think it cost more than $100 for all of my non-stick pieces. Please do a comparison featuring Tramontina, it's great value for cost

[@smallestcat]

bruh, dont buy nonstick. the coating wears off and you have to buy a new one. stainless steeland cast iron lasts forever.

[@Zzyzx--]

@@smallestcat I've got SS and cast iron pieces too. What I use depends on what I'm making. For example, nothing beats my 10" Tramontina non-stick fry pan for making an omelette, comes out perfect every time

[@my4mainecoons338]

I have a couple of pieces of the "too expensive" All Clad. They were promotional pieces (special price) when I purchased them in 1994. I considered them "investment cookware". The 10" "everyday" pan w/cover was $99, the 8" skillet w/o cover was ~$50. The nonstick surface is wearing out in the center but I love them and still use them.

[@pedromata3931]

Hey man just watched a bunch of your videos I’m 22 and need to buy basically everything I’m a buy the “made in” 2 knife’s the chef and bread knife do you sharpen them and how often? Also I’m looking at the ninja stainless steel set it’s 330 on amazon but other then the never stick I don’t think you’ve mentioned them once on your stainless steel pan review Line ups are you familiar with them? We getting an induction range I like the way stainless looks but I’m afraid I’ll mess them up and I’m not sure if to just stick with what I used growing up but anywho thank you your content really helped my figure out something about my life I’ll use basically everyday ❤

[@henriettalowe4689]

I purchased a set of SaladMaster stainless steel pots 50 years ago and they still like almost brand new. The only thing with these pots is that I cannot use my Dutch oven in the oven because of the handles. They also have a lifetime guarantee.

[@wwoods66]

The handle on the lid of the Dutch oven? You may be able to get a metal handle that fits, at a hardware store or somewhere. For baking bread, I just take it off and plug the hole with a bit of aluminum foil.

[@mitlangjong7772]

OMG already 50 years salad master ?😮

Never spend tons for non stick... Love my all clad stainless though. They are mint.

[@dianahcrumpler9791]

My SS WMF pots and pans that I bought in Germany in 1992 are still going strong and still as beautiful as the day I purchased. Even back then they were expensive, but I’d say it was money very well spent.

[@greenrockgarden2851]

I’m just sticking to my Cuisinart stainless steel, Amazon Brand Dutch ovens and Lodge cast iron. I have 1 nonstick pan for eggs. It was $5. It’s really functionality and long life over brand for me. I can attest that Rachael Ray sets SUCK! I owned them less than a month before tossing them. The pans warped and the pots heated unevenly. I cook and bake breads from scratch daily. I don’t have time to deal with crappy cookware. Thanks for the review!

[@josephgaviota]

1:10 _The cooking surface will eventually look like this ..._ And I assume I _ATE_ that coating that flaked off.

[@0annonymous]

What you can do is start cooking on lower heat and SOAK your pans BEFORE cleaning What I like to do is put a little bit of soapy water in the pan needing cleaned and put the burner on low After letting it sit for a few minutes all I have to do Is just take my dish brush and gently wash the pan I discovered it really doesn't take much effort, and that's for light duty cleaning If you have a lot of cleaning, then you're going to have to leave the pan soak for a bit longer You can actually make your pens last so much longer just by taking good care of them Take what you know and learn how to do it BETTER I hope what I pointed out here helps SOMEONE

[@SuzanneWho]

The only non-stick item I have is my little Dash skillet 😁. Everything else is carbon steel, cast iron or ceramic cast iron (Dutch oven).

[@63ah1275]

I love my All-Clad stainless pans, but for non-stick it's Tramontina all the way. I have 3 skillets and I'm about to buy a fourth. Years in, none of them are nearing replacement time.

[@WebGems]

GreenPan has so many different models of non stick pans, would be nice to get a video on which ones are the best

[@cw5451]

What do you think of Saladmaster? I used to work for them, so I have the full set, which is very expensive.

[@shoot-n-scoot3539]

+1 for Tramontina Pro Non-Stick. Sam's Club sells "Member's Mark 12" Aluminum Nonstick Restaurant Fry Pan" and I believe it's made by Tramontina. I clean my Nonstick ONLY with washcloth and soap and water. Cleans easily and doesn't mark the pan.

[@PrudentReviews]

That Member's Mark pan looks a lot like Tramontina Pro and Vollrath Wear-Ever

[@vagos06]

Can you review the Fissler profi line? They have a disc bottom, but it's very thick and they reportedly have excellent heat retention and even spread.

[@lemuret69]

In my experience, Fissler is absolutely wonderful. My introduction to them was a large, sturdy stainless steel pot that I've been using for upwards of thirty years. More recently, I was given a non-stick saute pan that is nothing like any non-stick I've ever owned - thick-walled and with a hard, hard coating that has not deteriorated one bit in about two years of frequent use. Wholeheartedly recommend!

[@vagos06]

@lemuret69 I also have a couple of pots and pans, and I feel that they perform better than others. Maybe they are not so popular due to the perception that bottom-clad kitchenware have poor performance (which is true for the cheaper ones). I'd like to see a comparison between fissler profi and high-quality, fully-clad pots and pans to see how they stack up, though.

[@bl4558]

I primarily use my AllClad D5 stainless stuff. I DO, however, have a couple of D5 nonstick pans for special uses like eggs. I am not wealthy, just a professional Chef who does cook for his family on a daily basis.

[@sharoncontini3284]

I use my 360 daily. So expensive I waited years to buy it. Simply the very best. I prefer over all clad. Made in USA.

[@jillcnc]

I have a GreenPan 10" nonstick ceramic pan that I've used maybe 4 times and already food will stick if I only use a little bit of oil. At this point, once my GreenPan pans are shot, I'll keep an 8" around for eggs, but other than that just use my Tramontina Tri-Ply pro stainless, which is wonderful.

[@PrudentReviews]

Good plan

[@tckoppang]

my all-clad non-stick pans came with a lifetime guarantee -- free replacements for life. I call that a pretty good deal. Maybe they don't offer a lifetime guarantee for new purchases. But they are still honoring mine.

[@philipstaite4775]

I can verify / second everything he said about Blue Diamond. That was the last non-stick I had, and it suffered all the issues mentioned. About the only good thing I can say about it is that it was bad enough to drive me to learn to use carbon steel. ;-)

[@kimariokiji]

Love carbon steel. It’s naturally non stick once it’s seasoned.

[@dianabinkowski3927]

I use cast iron for a lot of my skillets and a lot cheaper. Once they are well seasoned I can cook eggs, burgers etc and they don't stick. I just don't put tomatoes or anything acidic in it.

I have a mix of Matfer carbon steel, and All Clad stainless pans and very seldom ever have sticking issues, even with eggs. It seems strange that people are still buying nonstick pans when you don’t have to pay premium prices for better pans that will last lifetime if used and cared for properly.

[@philipstaite4775]

Agreed. I have DeBuyer carbon steel as my go-to, with a mix of Heritage Stainless/Titanium and a couple of Misen stainless pieces for acidic dishes. Gave up non-stick a couple of years ago and do not miss it at all.

[@jons3808]

Couldn’t agree more, once I learned how how to use my All-Vlad D3 stainless my eggs just slide right out of the pan. And they’re so easy to clean ‘em up to look good as new. I will never use a non stick pan again.

[@alwaysemployed656]

I don't expect any cookware to last long, so I buy what's decent enough for the lowest price. Teflon don't last long at all, so why spend extra for Teflon coated? Use nonstick spray. Can openers develop rust, so I buy a decent one for around $5, not $20 or more. I buy big pots and pans sets at lowest price. When the pots and pans are done and gone, just buy another set.

[@edrohan3271]

Induction compatible should be required in these reviews. This is the safest, healthiest and most energy efficient cooktop and is quickly becoming the choice of professionals.

[@dragonlord2451]

a 12.5" skillet is more versatile than the Our Place Always pan. By a huge margin. Pizzas, pastas, all in ones, proteins, desserts, all are easily and enjoyably accomplished in a well made skillet.

[@trublgrl]

Honestly, my best stainless steel cookware has come from Homegoods, TJ Maxx, and Marshalls. They always have something cheap, stainless, and of good quality, at a huge discount because they sell odd lots and remainder type stuff. I don't even buy by brand, just look for something that has a heavy bottom and a good fitting lid, and almost any heavy stainless pan is going to do the job.

[@AereForst]

Carbon steel all the way for most of my needs. All the benefits of cast iron without the weight. Look at the one piece Argentinian brand Darto. $15 flat fee shipping with DHL regardless of number of items. Thicker and better than Lodge and do not warp.

When I first saw the adverts for the Always pan I knew they were misrepresenting so I didn’t bother to look into it. Proof that that pan doesn’t replace a lot of pans is the lineup of pans they now make. And the complaints. Their new ad for their newest non-stick is malarkey too. No pot or pan is indestructible though we are not likely to run over one with a tank. They shouldn’t have gone overboard again.

[@PrudentReviews]

My review for their new Titanium Always Pan is coming out late this week or early next. I’ll just say, it’s very different from the one in this video.

[@rsawyer757]

I stopped buying non-stick pans completely a few years ago. I get 90% of the way there just by preheating a stainless, carbon steel, or cast iron pan with some oil and those will all last forever. I don't see the point of buying disposable pans for slightly better performance in a narrow use-case.

[@NeversurrenderMM66]

Tramontina's dutch ovens are also comparable to Le Creuset at a fraction of the price.

[@Bobrogers99]

Pans with a nonstick coating have a relatively short life. As the coating wears and scratches, the coating loses its benefit. Stainless steel or cast iron are durable. Once seasoned properly, food generally doesn't stick to them seriously, and you can make it release with a metal spatula without causing damage.

[@ryburnsjr]

Yes please review their HaptiQ line, I've had them for years and only used wooden spatulas and washed by hand. The coating is just like I've had and it's been over 5 years. The only thing I have noticed is on the edges the coating does chip away most likely from me banging my spatulas on the side.

[@MediaRoom728]

@@PrudentReviewsWe really enjoy our Scanpans, but probably wouldn’t have purchased them if we had discovered your channel earlier. Amazing quality, but worth the price for non-stick? Probably not.

[@sunshine40ish]

Non-stick cookware is good up to 399F. Cook with medium high heat. If you heat it to over 400F it will destroy the pan. That's something to consider when those pans are built to be used for 7 years then replaced. If you use stainless steel the pan must be hot enough to cause water drops to dance or the food will stick. People don't know that and that's why we see perfectly good $200 pans in thrift shops.

I appreciate the work you put into your testing and the insights you provided here and in general. However, I think the title of this video was misleading and intended to get people to think you were going to claim all-clad and others are bad brands. In fact this is more about specific lines within brands which is a very different thing. I understand you might have been going for brevity in the title but I also think you could have found a way to title it which didn't verge on deceptive.

[@PrudentReviews]

I understand your point but I am not trying to be deceptive in any way. "Cookware Collections You Should Never Buy" doesn't have the same ring to it and could be confusing. Some brands call them collections, others call them lines, series, etc.

[@JoeMama-yq5oj]

@@PrudentReviews Fair enough, I understand that titling KZbin videos and getting people to watch them is a bit of a dark art which everyone kind of has to hold their nose and just do it.. Don't mean to make more of this than necessary. I like your content but just thought the title was inaccurate.

*And the worst part, they're expensive!". Yep.

[@alansnipes3101]

It's actually very simple. All Clad for 12 inch D-3 stainless steel pan. Maybe Made in. Tramontina for 2 or 4 qt tri ply saucepans. and Stock Pt. Oxo good grips 12 inch non stick, and lodge for 12 inch Cast Iron pan. LeCruset or Cuisinart for a 7 quart dutch oven, and Le Cruiset or Tramontina foe a 3.5 or 4 quart braiser. Almost everything else promoted is gimmick cookware and not functional or long lasting.

^This is a fantastic list. Well done👏

I wouldn't even do MCP for non stick. Chef's Classic is fine.

[@parranoya100]

I thought "non-stick" coatings were carcinogenic.

[@nightreader1264]

Oh good- we have had the All Clad for over 35 years. The old school All Clad.

[@krwada]

The only non-stick that lasts is cast iron or carbon steel.

[@BornIn1500]

neither of them are really "non-stick". It takes oil/fat and the correct temperature to stop sticking. Otherwise you'll have a mess, no matter how good of a seasoning you have.

[@krwada]

@@BornIn1500 Yes, you need oil. Many years ago, I purchased a teflon coated non-stick pan, and I fried, (burnt) an egg in it. I realized then that you need some liquid in there to keep the thing from burning.

[@D33_G33]

nice egg flip. 9\10

Am look for new pots and pans and am confused now am just going to get what ever at this point.

Caraway is so heavy, handle gets hot Always is just ok-

[@Splagnate]

Something I find ironic about most of these companies that state the pans are 100% nontoxic or free of toxic chemicals. Is the pan itself is usually aluminum that can be exposed on cooking surface by the chipping or just wear. Aluminum is a neurotoxin and with daily exposure can affect your health.

[@AngelusBrady]

I'm not convinced considering how many commercial food establishments use bare aluminum cookware to cook food in.

[@Splagnate]

@AngelusBrady It's just science. You don't have to believe in it for it to happen. It's why it's been removed from deodorants and so on. It's also why you can't cook on bare copper. Copper is more reactive. Daily stove top use of bare aluminum cookware is not safe is all in saying. Aluminum is a neurotoxin. It's just how it is

[@jc3drums916]

@@AngelusBrady I think "bare aluminum" cookware is anodized, i.e. aluminum oxide, which may not have the same effect, if the body doesn't break the molecules down to their component elements.

[@AngelusBrady]

@@jc3drums916 Aluminum naturally oxidizes but the layer is incredibly thin and fragile and wouldn't make much of a difference since it would easily wear off. Hard anodizing aluminum creates a much thicker layer and usually darkens the aluminum layer to a dark grey or black.

Nonstick coating square out. Where does the nonstick coating go? In your food. Down the drain. I don’t want to eat nonstick coating. A properly seasoned Cast iron or carbon steel pan will have pretty good nonstick properties. You could buy a Lodge frying pan for very little money, or you could buy a French carbon steel pan for more money. You could buy an American carbon steel pan for not much money. You have many choices.

[@Wigington24]

There's an All-Clad in the picture but I didn't see one in the video

[@PrudentReviews]

Did you watch it?

[@davidcampbell520]

All-Clad was the first brand discussed in the video.

[@Garlarg]

Though I generally agree with you but think about it. You buy a teflon coated 3ply stainless steel pan. You use it until the coating flakes. Then get some sandpaper and scrub down the leftover coating. Then use the pan as a traditional 3ply SS pan. Tada!

[@PrudentReviews]

I like where your heads at but most pans are slightly textured so that the nonstick coating adheres. So if you were to remove the nonstick coating, the steel underneath will be bumpy.

[@Garlarg]

@@PrudentReviews You are right it is possible. Though the surface of the cast iron pans are mostly rough. That might not be a problem. It could worth a try. Maybe many pan could be saved. :)

[@aliaperez7809]

I don't even own a non-stick pan. My pans are average a Lodge and a Cuisinart. I'm not a chef - I'm a housewife.

[@roberthart9886]

What about the MADE IN brand?

[@PrudentReviews]

big fan. Here's my review: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j2HFkmuBap2aqKM
