MY FAVORITE COOKWARE | best pots and pans worth the money (on black friday and cyber monday)

[@Downshiftology]

Hi guys! I hope you enjoy this review of my favorite cookware. I'd love to hear what cookware you use the most and why you love it (I love finding new brands!). All of the pieces I mentioned are linked on the full blog post, linked in the description box. Add them to your shopping cart now for Black Friday and Cyber Monday! ;) xo - Lisa

Nice video informative 👍

Scanpan is titanium, I love mine.

[@Downshiftology]

@@pegblount656 Scanpan is PTFE non-stick cookware. The marketing lingo they use is STRATANIUM+. But it's still PTFE non-stick (PFOA-Free as all PTFE pans now are).

[@ruthj2259]

I am moving and looking to set up my new kitchen. Thank you so much for all of this great information!!

[@corinachakalian8914]

I would love to hear what you think about Hexclad pans!

[@peachy75019]

I agree totally about the All Clad ... I purchased a set of All Clad over 30 years ago and have added some to it over the years. I know it will last the rest of my life and probably the life of my daughter after me. I would like to add that for those who do not have the $$ or want to spend the $$ for the enameled cast iron brands you mention, I have enameled cast iron from Lodge and it has held up wonderfully at less than half the price of the others. I also love my regular cast iron ... my favorite piece being a skillet that belonged to my mother and is over 70 years old now. It's a joy to cook with.

[@RapidHypnotherapy]

You have taught me a great deal on loving cooking, and I gave away all my non stick pans and invested in all the steel clad and Le Creuset pots too! I am now looking at buying pure cast iron for frying etc.. Thank you for your videos, your passion and your wisdom.

[@Downshiftology]

That's great that you've switched from non-stick to All Clad and Le Creuset. Well done!

[@theresecornelius812]

Great video, Lisa. Thank you! I bought my All-Clad because of you, and I am a much better cook!😉 I absolutely love it, and it took me 30 years to realize..”Buy quality even if expensive from the get-go!” I’ve had SO many pots and pans over the years including Calphalon, and none compare. Plus, they scratch and stick. Your thoughtful care in analyzing medical aspects is right up my alley. You are the best!! My only thing to add is that if you ever go to a Princess House Crystal Party, the Fantasia glass cookware is excellent! I’ve used it for 28 years and it’s still going strong.

[@Downshiftology]

Thanks so much Therese! And that's great that you invested in All Clad. It truly is the best!

[@bmorekind6849]

My sister has all clad and with that straight side they are so hard to pour out of. I have had cuisinart stainless pans that I bought individually - all at one time when I got married. Bought 1.5qt upto 12qt stockpot all w lids and they have held up amazingly well. No warping - nothing and they are really well balanced and the curved lip makes life so much easier to pour out everything from chai to browned meats or stews. They are also about half the cost. My 2 cents after using both brands. Love your channel

[@TrueLady-m9v]

I have owned a set of these for over 28 years. They are great. But the frying pan sticks. Do you know how to stop that? I never seasoned them & I honestly don't know how or if you need to season stainless steel. Thank you.

[@DemiChiLucious]

Ok now you're just reading my mind!! Was just at home goods yesterday scratching my head wondering which pans were safe. Exhausted at the thought of googling all of this info, so Thanks for all that you covered and all you continue to do for us

[@Downshiftology]

Haha, good timing! I'm glad you found the video helpful - and now you know what to buy. :)

[@donaldoutdoors]

LOVE my All Clad! I made my own set based on what I needed. I've had it for over 15 years now and still looking and cooking great. I will get those bamboo spoons/spatulas soon. Thank you, Lisa, for all you do!

[@admcmahon2]

Lisa, Thanks for a great review! My All-Clad is 20 years old "LTD" and some newer SS. I collected special pieces they no longer make such as the windsor pan. I love my collection of Staub for when as a New Mexican, cook red or green chile dishes! My plain CI dates from the 1800's and for ward, including new Lodge black lock- and Lodge did let me know on of my older Lodge is a black lock foundry era pan...Love your recipes as well.

[@Dianalynn62]

I am a big supporter of Wolfgang Puck...I do have his Stainless steal cookware and several of his kitchen gadgets...I recently ordered his Plasma non-stick pans on HSN...that have no PFOA...and they have a lifetime warranty...he swears by stainless steel..but customer's requested it... so he found someone to make it to fit his standards...thank you for the wonderful review...and the knowledge you pass on especially to younger people is invaluable... I am a new subscriber...😊

[@Keolus1]

I invested in a set of KitchenCraft years ago, haven’t regretted it but they make All Clad look like a bargain. Look into carbon steel as well. Love my lodge skillets and can be had for 40 bucks. DeBuyer also excellent. Non stick I use Volrath CeramiGuard. I use no nonsense restaurant equipment for utensils, primarily Volrath or Dexter Russell and a set of wood utensils from World Market.

Thank you for your review on All-Clad, I finally made the push to buy a whole set (10 piece) of the D3 line that I've been eyeing for years but couldn't afford to at the time. They're having a great sale on Macy's today for 40% off and additional 30% w/ a coupon code. I'm sooooooo excited. I'm really enjoy cooking now and decided to treat myself to nicer pans that works, not just look pretty. I bought the 12" All-Clad last week and this new set includes the 10" & 8" so my collection will be completed 👍

[@annmarienormile1330]

Have you noticed that the bottom interior stains after the food is out and if they’re here to clean I am interested in a set

[@tiklemeangi]

Aw bummer I just checked and missed the sale.

[@lacarlousjackson8]

Thank you!!! Good looking out. I’m totally All-Clad & le Creuset fan ❤️

[@miko746]

Your recommendations are spot on! Cuisinart has great, lower-cost clad stainless steel for those who don’t want to drop serious coin on All Clad. Also, I have been loving my new carbon steel pan.

[@ellenlehrman9299]

I’ve had my cuisinart pans for over 20 years, and they are still going strong.

[@RDens4d]

Give Le Creuset toughened non stick skillets a try. I’m not a huge fan of nonstick either, but the Le Creuset non stick is on to own playing field. You can even use metal utensils without scratching the surface. I used to go thru All Clad non stick every two years for 20 years . . .no more. These are awesome.

I have Circulon pots and pans which I use every day. Paid a silly price for them but the good thing is that they come with lifetime warranties which Ive actually used and they have honoured without question. Ive replaced a chef's pan, fry pan and large pot (which were all getting on to 15 years old). Lovely heavy base, useful on a hob and in the oven and induction ready (which would mean something if I ever replaced our gas hob for an induction one I guess :) ). Also have Le Creuset skillet and casserole pans and absolutely love them...just don't drop them or you will break what ever they hit :)

[@tiklemeangi]

My mom used to make me go with her to the dept store to buy these pots on sale since there was a limit per person…let’s just say it started my cookware obsession as an adult 😂

[@robinc8327]

Wow I was so shocked but happy when I heard you say All Clad because My nephew just sent me a 10 pc set of from Williams and Sonoma it cost more than my mortgage 😂 I was so excited to receive this blessed gift & I can’t wait to use them, I’m waiting on my new double oven range to be delivered then I’ll use them. Thanks for sharing

[@beautifullyordinary4]

My favourite cooking/baking channel! Your recipes look amazing and you are so knowledgeable on so many subjects, I will always trust your opinion and statements! I hope All Clad reaches out and at the very least thanks you for your kind words, you rave about their products so often! Keep up the amazing work Lisa!

Thanks so much Jaimie! And yes, I sure do love my All Clad. I'm always happy to share what I feel is truly best in the kitchen. :)

[@marianamunoz6075]

Thanks for this video!!! I used to have and loved my nonstick pans (I had 2) but I got rid of them years ago! I watched you making fresh tortillas on the nonstick pan as a demo but I make my tortillas on my cast iron comal (or skillet) and they come out great! I also use my stainless steel Cuisinart pans for my eggs and everything- way to use almost mine non-stick just using a bit of oil. I got a 20-piece set of Cuisinart pots & pans from my husband as a wedding gift 20 years ago and they are still going strong!!! (& they come with a lifetime warranty!… can’t beat that!!!)

[@406livingrealty]

These are all of my favorite pans as well with one exception. For non-stick I have recently found hexclad which has a lifetime warranty. Loved this video!

[@Downshiftology]

Glad this video helped! 😊

[@friedmule5403]

6:30 You can get non-stick pans now that are totally safe, can be used with metal utensils and will last you as long as a stainless-steel pan! :-) Try to take a look at the cheapest version, the onyx stainless-steel pans, only downside to them is that you do still have to keep them at a maximum of medium heat, and you have to heat them slowly.

[@MissT1806]

Girl!!!!! So timely! Love every recommendation you put out there definitely looking into some all clad and building up. I got a ceramic set from them and now I wish I had done a little more research and gone with stainless steel 😭😭

[@Downshiftology]

Stainless steel is definitely my favorite to use 😊

[@MikyMiguel777]

Do you have to put a lot of oil to stainless steel? Since it’s not nonstick

[@trueanimeforyou]

@@MikyMiguel777 usually with my pans, i heat them up, then put some oil or butters around the bottom. They seems to suck up moisture really quickly, so if i dont follow that sequence, then my food sticks.

[@thereisonlyone6357]

@@MikyMiguel777 No, I have All-Clad stainless steel heat up empty pan or pot on medium to low heat and then add 1 tablespoon of butter or oil and coat it all over and it works fine. I cook eggs like that on them and they do not stick. Easy to cook and easy to clean. You can get them on sale toward the end of January on one day sale for 7-pc set for less than $300 at Bloomingdale online.

[@jacobsnewadventures]

Which pan is better to cook eggs and such in: all clad or a coated cast iron? Is there a reason you use stainless steel pan instead of the coated iron? Someone told me calphalon 18/10 is as good as all clad, what do you think? Thank you!

[@kaydenevideo]

Thank you for all of these tips! Would you ever do a video on under-the-counter organization video? How do you organize your under-counter space?

[@Downshiftology]

Will definitely keep that in mind! 😊

[@jenniferharris7633]

After going through several sets of nonstick cookware in my lifetime, I finally bit the bullet and invested (and it IS an investment) in Demeyere Industry series stainless cookware and love it. I also have several pieces of Le Creuset for stews, big pots of beans and roasting. I've got the original Corningware PYROCERAM (not all CW are pyroceram) pieces, which are great for casseroles and side dishes, but I don't have any bakeware. What do you use to bake cakes and pies and bread? Pyrex or a metal bakepan?

[@laurens.roesler3326]

Pies.Breads, brownies etc. can be baked in cast iron loaf pans or skillets. Corn bread comes out amazing in cast iron pans like “lodge” brand or “le Creuset” -enameled cast iron. I’ve never baked a cake in cast iron. Not yet, however it should be ok. Maybe line it with unbleached parchment as you would with non- stick bakeware.

Thank you!! I have used Lodge pans for years. Downside for me is their weight! Will definitely check out Crate and Barrell utensils!

Lodge is great! But yes, they are a bit heavy. Definitely check out those utensils, they've got the best balanced feel in the hand as well.

[@brenthenderson4395]

Hi, I recently bought a premium stainless steel cookware set after being inspired from this video and got rid of cheap non-stick ones. Although mine is not All-Clad, it is very nice stainless steel cookware from a relatively newer company. I started using it and notice that after every dish, the bottom of the pan or pot is stained and you can see where the food made contact with the pan. I use low-medium heat as suggested and preheat the pan before adding oil and cooking as well. I was wondering if you could share if your pans do the same and it just requires cleaning with some combination of vinegar or baking powder. Every time I use my pan I have to clean it either with baking soda or vinegar and I was wondering if that's normal and would that wear on the pan over time. I know that stainless steel is a bit more tricky to clean versus non-stick pans, but I haven't been able to clean the pot or pan without having to soak it in some sort of acidic solution to make the cookware look clean and shiny again. Are you able to just clean with soap and water with your All-Clad?

If you ever decide to replace them check out Vollrath. If you live in a city there are more than likely plenty of Restaurant Supply stores that should have them in stocks but they can be found on Amazon. Made in the USA and similar performance to the All-Clad, just not quite ia pretty, at about half the price.

All-Clad stainless steel pots are coated with a coating,without this coating the food would stick. This coating may also be carcinogenic. As highlighted there are coatings which are PTFE free, which seem to be safer.

GREAT analyse of different material cookwares. the most healthy material is S/S cookware. all the other all cover with coatings. enamel coating/non-stick coating/ceramic coating/preseason coating... i had use to been in the cooware manufacture business before. pre-season coating will be the worst. in EU. it can not pass LFGB. but in USA FDA is accept by some parts of the test result. For the utensil, i prefer use wood or bamboo.for non stick cookware.it is much safety for food contact. as there differnent grade of silicone. heat-resisten mostly only up to 180~230 degrees.

Are they non stick?

[@calisongbird]

@@vickigollop1216 stainless steel is not non-stick, however there are cooking techniques you can use to minimize sticking. Search KZbin on “cooking eggs in stainless steel pan” or “stainless steel pan mercury test.” You have to let the pan heat up dry to a certain temp, then test by dropping water drops in it. If it sizzles and then evaporates, it’s not hot enough and food will stick - especially protein foods. If the water balls up and looks like mercury, it’s ready to add your oil and room temperature food (adding cold food to a hot pan will result in sticking). Let meats, fish, and poultry sit on counter for 10-15 min after removing from the fridge, so it’s not too cold.

Just found your channel yesterday and I’m ready to get healthy again can’t wait to try your recipes!! I’ve watched a few videos already and you make it very easy to follow along.

[@Downshiftology]

Wonderful! I'm happy you're loving my recipes. Welcome to the community Christine!

[@TheBigpapax30]

Wowww. Never cry so much when I noticed that all those good products you recommended I CAN'T AFFORD them.😭😭😭

[@RPBSpeaks]

TheBigpapax30 Wolfgang Puck stainless steel is an excellent alternative and is just durable and high quality. I’ve had my set for 15 years and it looks new. Also, Lodge makes excellent alternatives to Le Creuset. You too can have amazing cookware. I love all of my pieces and they’re lifetime purchases on a budget ✅💯

[@dawnbriscoe6898]

@@RPBSpeaks Le Creuset is great...especially their cast iron skillets

[@RPBSpeaks]

Dawn Briscoe I have no doubt and would like to own a piece one day🤩. For now, Lodge will do ✅😂

[@sophietopham8822]

maybe spread over few years for birthday Xmas gifts to you?

[@dawnbriscoe6898]

Pricey but I'd rather spend a little money now and have it last a lifetime vs going the cheap route and end up having it break or not last.🙂

What is your opinion on the All-Clad B1 non stick pans...they are 3 ply and have no ptfe but as you say there is another coating that substitutes ptfe.

[@SolangeMaffi]

Wowww looove this video!!! Thank you for sharing and for answered every question I had :)

[@Downshiftology]

Wonderful! I'm glad you found the video helpful. :)

I am a southern girl......you are a lifesaver on sharing wonderful suggestions...I have subscribed to your channel........Houston, TX....🤠🥂🍾💎💎💎💎

[@peii.c]

Can you tell us how you fried that perfect egg with All-Clad? Mine always turns out burnt or sticks to the pan

[@fxE20170]

P311 C heat the pan medium and wait roughly 2 minutes. Pour a small drop of water and wait to see if it evaporates immediately or it bounces around the pan. If it evaporates the pan has not heated enough try again in 30 seconds or so. Once it does hear then apply your oil and coat the pan. That should do it.

[@jeanlanz2344]

Thank you for your well-informed opinions on cookware....very helpful!

[@lorieann8522]

I am slowly switching out my 15 year old set of Martha Stewart pots/pans for All Clad. I also have a 5.5 quart Le Creuset in Caribbean that I absolutely love.

[@Downshiftology]

That Caribbean color is beautiful!

[@GK-ee7re]

Unfortunately i was gifted a “healthy” non stick set of pots and pans by my parents four years ago. I love how they perform but thinking about switching them one by one for stainless steel, without my parents notice🤫

[@Downshiftology]

Hahah! These All Clad ones definitely won't fail! 😊

[@gcg8187]

ill pay you to ship them to me man, they're working perfectly if you wanna give up on them

[@pageturner1401]

Good decision.

[@patriciaann850]

Nonstick usually doesn’t last four years anyways so I doubt your parents would be put off

[@wisefoolwillow]

New subscriber after watching your meal prep video. I love how genuine you are

[@gypsysnickerdoodle4354]

If I had to do it again, I’d get my All-Clad pans without long handles. It cracks me up that folks from the US get their parents to buy them stuff. OMG it took me 20 years to save up for my kitchenware, piecemeal. I’d love to have an all grey, white set of pieces I tried, but I could never find any of them on sale. So, my awkward collection pieces of Stab & LeCreuset are a goddamned rainbow of whatever I could afford, when I could find it.

[@SZafar-rq2uf]

Sorry our parents don't want us to starve. Instead of saving up for kitchenware, save up for new parents.

[@janetmarie4975]

I would like to suggest using oven cleaner to remove the gunk buildup around rivets.

Buy german grade stainless steel.

[@rohyfamz610]

I have a small knife that comes from germany and can cut meat, bread and everything. although it looks small but very useful. anything its written down is made in germany is sure to be of good quality

[@blackmamba5380]

I totally agree... but why it happens that all stainless pot have i dont know the word... ill call them edges that also get heated like the rest of the pot? Couldnt they use other material like wood or plastic so you can lift it up and tranfer it safely? Also when you wanna see the progress or stir up the food its all over heated!!

[@amyjacob2100]

I want to switch out my Teflon type pans and want to buy a good set. This was a great review! Thank you!
