Which pan do you prefer using to achieve the perfect steak?

[@user9b2]

So hard to choose between carbon and stainless steel 😌

[@VladValaam]

@@user9b2 carbon steel!

[@user9b2]

But I have an unrelated question - must pan has a lip that flairs outward for no drip pouring (like made in’s own stainless steel pan) but the carbon steel pan goes the other way around. Are there some specific reasons why it like that. Thanks.

[@chip_malt]

@@user9b2 bending carbon steel pans to roll the lip will stretch the material in a way that will make it both unattractive and structurally unsound. So they do not do it on Carbon like they do on non stick or stainless as you mentioned.

[@roberttai646]

I absolutely LOVE my carbon steel pan. I look for things to cook with it. It makes me a better cook. Thank you MADE IN.

[@louisburley1597]

Carbon steel is my absolute favorite. I absolutely love it for everything

[@juliannek6885]

Bookmarking this as my forever go-to guide on steak night! Love it!

[@DialloKreed]

Same

[@Dconfer512]

Those steaks look incredibly delicious! Love the water bead test before you did the steak, such a helpful tip! Also, can't wait to try adding oil directly to my steak before cooking it instead of putting it directly into my pan.

[@christinab9808]

Same. There’s a lot less splattering of oil all over the place.

[@AaronFigFront]

The video is SO DARK… It is like 1/6 of the brightness of a normal video on KZbin.

[@rajori111]

ikr i thought it was a thing with youtube

[@scottwallace1]

Why does carbon steel get so little love for home chefs? Practically all you see whenever you go behind the scenes at an actual restaurant. 🤔

[@annacastillo1663]

I agree carbon steel is the best, I love mine ❤

[@lorenal6137]

Definitely carbon steel! LOVE my Made-In pans!!!

[@dkruitz]

My go to, never fail is vintage cast iron, non-enameled. I am curious to try the SS pan sometime as we use that a lot too.

[@MadeInCookware]

You should try it some time!

[@julesb4794]

Vintage cast iron is how I’ve been cooking my steaks for years. I did recently buy the 10 inch SS from this video and I’ve never gotten a better seared and juicy skin on chicken breast. It was perfect.

[@Amptender]

I just bought a set of NonStick so I'm so glad you did this! I think I will buy a Carbon Steel Pan for my collection.

[@tqoliver]

This was a great test! Thank you for this!

[@magellanmax]

Thanks for being objective in your test, it all comes down to many factors to making a great steak! I own all the shown pans except for the carbon steel. I'll be looking for one to check it out, any particular brand that you guys recommend?

[@MadeInCookware]

Ours, of course!

[@danielleterese402]

Thanku thanku thankuuuuu!! I am really excited to try out this method. I've never been good at making steaks. I never knew how/what seasonings to use, how to prepare it how long ectectect...I cannot wait to give this a whirl❤❤❤🎉

[@AnnieHaun-uw5lx]

i love carbon steel but I want to try enameled cast iron too! also, thanks for all of the tips on searing the perfect steak!

[@MadeInCookware]

Our pleasure!

[@waverunner0703]

Damn, those pans cook much more evenly than my hex clad.

[@anarr7411]

Looking forward to buying my first set of Made in.

[@PaigeDeLeon-k6v]

Carbon steel but now curious about the others! Want alllll the pannnnns. And, the steak!

[@clementren7047]

Carbon steel is absolutely the best. Once you season it, it's non-stick. It's lighter than cast iron and easier to clean than stainless clad. Sorry though, my CS pans are not from Made In. I have never cooked with Made In, but the angle of the handle on their CS pans seems a bit strange. I prefer the traditional angle of other French CS pans.

[@mjames84]

I've been using my Stainless Clad for steaks but gonna need to try Carbon Steel now.

[@davidkay7389]

Carbon steel. What was that wire rack and sheet you used?

[@thomasj219]

May I ask what size these pans were?

[@chip_malt]

Those are the 10 inch

[@thomasj219]

@@chip_malt thank you!

[@emilyborst1191]

gotta test a steak out in my enameled cast iron skillet now!

[@wannabedal-adx458]

I kinda wish I didn't have a cast iron skillet already, I so would have bought your enameled cast iron pan. One things I learned from this video is to add the oil (I use EVOO or Avocado Oil) to the steak instead of the pan. Also, as a personal preference, I focus on the the internal color being pink and less on a having a extra crispy crust. I may try in the future cooking one of my steaks in my 10" non-stick. I do cook burgers in my non-stick sometimes, just makes things easier. Thanks!

[@MadeInCookware]

Thanks for sharing!

[@jennaseco1513]

team carbon steel! but I also love my SS

[@ToriaColangelo]

Carbon. But I've cooked a perfect steak in all of my Made In pans, so versatile!!

[@kgbfunkya]

Carbon baby!

[@garrettcampbell2005]

Great video!!

[@kathleenreyes4345]

Are you going to eat all 4 steaks! I’d love to help!!😂

[@kathyrutter1104]

what thickness of the New York strip did you use?

[@jeannettefischer9090]

I was feelings ng so hungry and those steak look so good

[@Steven213100]

Just made a two strips in my carbon steel. Great but the stove had a little bit of oil. Leana the cleaner came the next day.

[@CoryHobbs2178]

Those steaks looked delicious. I use cast iron, but lately I've been using my Blackstone for the easy cleanup. Not to mention throw a weight on top of the steak for a perfectly even thick crust...I ate 22 ounces of a perfectly cooked ribeye tonight 😂

[@MarilynCarlisle]

I recently purchased my first Made In pans. I have induction cooking. I feel like hard to get the sear on medium (level 6). Can suggest if I should go higher in temperature. My cookware is the stainless clad. Thank you!

[@chip_malt]

Yes you can go higher - or you can just let it sit longer on a lower temperature. Both techniques work for a sear. Low and slow is Tom Colicchio's method: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d321Ymiihr2neKM

[@Kwoz88]

Carbon Steel! All day!

[@Jenny40090]

What brand should I buy for Carbon Steel pan??

[@MadeInCookware]

Made In Cookware, of course.

[@WinFortunata]

hello! i'm curious as to which size of stainless clad pan you're using in this video? is it the 12 or 10 inch one?

[@chip_malt]

That’s the 10 inch

[@MadeInCookware]

Yep, 10 in!

[@Doncooks]

I'm a stainless clad steak kinda guy when cooking on a stove and carbon steel over open fire/on the grill.

[@ajhernandez4351]

love the carbon steel frying pan!

[@vcross05]

Carbon Steel!!

[@peterl.104]

The few times I cooked steak with carbon steel, it got over cooked compared to cast iron at 3-min per side so I have been experimenting with shortening the cooking time. Haven’t gotten it right yet. 😢

[@MadeInCookware]

Hi! Could be a matter of too much heat being used for too long. Keep in mind carbon steel retains heat similarly to cast iron, despite it not being as thick.

[@HD-on2eg]

Would have been nice to see the clean up of all the different pans after. 😁

[@MadeInCookware]

We have cleaning guides on our website for all pan types :)

[@Pro-xw3vy]

Aha..!! Carbon steel n if you have cast iron pan as well, best for cooking steak.

[@adamnesto7587]

envious of whoever gets the leftovers!

[@lucypang9206]

really an easy way to cook steak

[@JKYoungberg]

Huge grey band on most of them.

[@linsjack2]

Carbon Steel all day!

[@zachansen8293]

no-pan makes the best steak. Grill it.

[@pushermanva757]

Stainless all day

[@tomdonaghy8625]

it is really, really hard to improve on a carbon steel seasoned skillet. period.

[@PeopleHealthTec]

results 5:00 10:30

[@Lemieux92]

Please sear some scallops

[@MadeInCookware]

Yum yum!

[@MikeAbili]

I don’t need to decide on a pan when I reverse sear my steaks.

[@nancywalker1325]

Plain Cast iron is the best, none of those.

[@MadeInCookware]

We like plain cast iron, too.

[@ShipWreck68]

Definitely like my carbon steel pan most. But Made In carbon steel pan is not even that good of a pan. Matfer is twice as good.

[@ifyouknow2323]

PETER PAN EASILY

[@shawnhickman1412]

Cast iron or go home!!

[@61britchie]

Steaks should never see a pan

[@themarkit27]

Test salmon! Or some sort of fish!

[@MadeInCookware]

We're on it!
