Red Copper Pan Review (12 inch): 21 Day Test

This is my 21-day test of Red Copper Pan. If you accept the fact that it's not scratch-free (as advertised), that it will probably degrade over time, that you can't use it on a high flame, and that you have to gently hand wash it after every use, you may actually like it.

Cast iron. You can use it in battle in the morning and cook cook dinner on it in the evening 🤣😂

[@craigkirby9202]

+1 for that! Except for sugar, and acid. The only downside to my cast iron stuff is it wouldn't play well with making caramel, and doesn't work with slow cooked acidic foods that strip the seasoning from it (obviously, in hindsight :)). You can ruin three generations of family seasoning on your cast iron pot if you slow cook a tomato based reduction for an hour (Doh! Sorry Granny, my bad). It also imparts a slight flavour that is the history of everything ever cooked in it (normally a perfectly good thing unless you are making something like popcorn that you might want to taste perfectly pointless). Also I cracked a cast iron frying pan from the base to the rim of one side of the thing once by deglazing with a glass of wine. It's still in daily use even with the crack (I'm guessing the microscopic crack sealed up with oil, so you can add "self healing" on the plus side, but they *can* crack. In Australia we have a long history of using cast iron Dutch ovens (for those that dont know they are the ones you sit on the coals of your fire and then add coals onto to the specially shaped lid for all round heat to bake bread or whatever) And they often come with three short studs on the bottom to act as legs. I dont think I've ever seen one with all it's legs still intact because cast iron is a little brittle. All that said, I can cook an egg in any of my cast iron kit just as well as seen on non-stick TV. I can also crank the heat to whatever I want. My brother uses these inexpensive non stick pans and always keeps a couple spare in the pantry for when they inevitably crap themselves. I'd also use a non stick pan to do something like Tuna Tataki (キハダ鮪のたたき) (lightly seared pretty much raw tuna) because you dont want it to taste of anything, so I do own a couple.

[@mbdjr1248]

I cook potstickers in my 12" Red Copper pan all the time (for over a year now) and never have any problems with them sticking. With potstickers you need to let them brown on the bottom WITHOUT trying to move them until they are perfectly brown and crispy on the bottom. Avoid the temptation to slide them around in the pan while they are browning.

[@blacklight4460]

Seems like you babied the pan more than most would, but then used concentrated dish soap to clean it, which is a strong solvent. You're washing out the seasoning of the coating. Use only a drop of soap and 4-6 oz of hot water with the paper towel.

You use oil. That is your non-stick. If I have to baby the pan that much then it is not worth it. Limited cooking. Limited cleanup. From your review it is a special purpose pan that is really a waste of money. Season a cast iron pan and you can put that one to shame.

[@moolate127]

[@GrannyLaLa1960]

To those that are saying he's not supposed to use oil to cook he said he was going to do the review differently and baby the pan to see how long it would last. To see what would happen. Many non-stick have failed the tests over the years. Way back in the past I've had he Teflon peel and flake. I love my cast iron and rarely use non-stick.

[@madthumbs1564]

Reasons to hate cast iron: it's heavy, it heats up slow, it's horrible at heat distribution, ridiculous maintenance. Stainless can be seasoned also for the exact same food release performance. Aluminum (used as a core in clad pans) holds as much heat at a little over half the weight of CI.

[@snailnslug3]

mad thumbs you're completely cast iron ignorant. It's false information like you are spewing that makes new cookers shy away from the best tried and true cooking instruments on the planet. I can post no less that a thousand videos debunking your cast iron myths. The only one I agree is the weight. But even that is fixed with the new age cast iron pans. Google is your friend.

[@TheDeathLove]

@@madthumbs1564 There are cast irons with ceramic plating that are non steak and clean easily. Then there are stainless steel with heavy alluminium bottom to retain and use heat effectively without having to worry about acid making aluminium pans bad. One thing though cast iron holds heat extremely well and distributes pretty evenly so idk what you mean that.

[@einsp227]

If a non stick pan can't cook an egg without it sticking it's already doomed. It's a great measuring stick.

[@chrism1102]

Even manufacturers admit that non-stick pans are only meant to last about a year. I think it's a good idea to have one NS pan but the remainder should be carbon steel or cast iron. You get restaurant quality results with either one and they last a lifetime.

[@madthumbs1564]

Carbon steel is popular in Europe, but not the US. We have All-Clad here which are much better at heat distribution for better pancakes, eggs, french toast, (food that cooks stationary). Today there are other manufacturers of tri-clad pans. Stainless like carbon steel can be seasoned for the same food release properties. The aluminum holds the same amount of heat at a little over half the weight of cast iron.

[@phaneserichthoneus8895]

Dump the potatoes out of the black-coated pan and mash them in something else, perhaps? I used to have to make whipped potatoes all the time because my friend saw it as a staple of his life. I boiled potatoes in an 8qt pot that happened to have a black non-stick coating. I used that pot because the lid has a strainer on it. I then dumped all the potatoes into the mixing bowl of a Kitchen Aid stand mixer. I stuck the whisk on it and let it rip until the potatoes were squirt-gun-smooth. No black flakes, except for the pepper.

[@HFVidShotz]

Don't the instructions state that you need to re-season the pan every so often? I have one and recall it states that on the instructions.

[@TheJunior1964]

Hi my cousin bought it but i don't know why she have to cook with the cooking oil and you don't?

[@2katlady59]

A Little tip for the copper pans (and all non-stick pans for that matter) is to season them with a tiny bit of oil before each use. Just a tablespoon or two, wipe entire surface with a paper towel to get a thin layer of oil, and you're all set! It'll keep it seasoned and non-stick for years to come. You should also season it with oil in the oven every so often, or as you see food starting to stick a bit more. You really do have to baby most non-stick pans, but you can't beat them for cooking eggs, pancakes, crepes, and anything else you don't want sticking to a pan! Also, I'd be interested in an update with searing some steaks or chicken. Although a traditional skillet is better for this, I want to see how the copper pan can handle it.

[@Freakinreviews]

I've been frying chicken lately, and it's still hanging in there. I'll be sure to include that in a follow-up. Good comment, Kat.

[@chickennugget2108]

Yes, I agree! We actually use all cast iron pans in this house, and our cast iron pans are now non-stick! This is because we always oil it after use. They make "seasoning spray". You just spray it and put it away. If you wash it with soap, you HAVE to rub it with oil again. Dawn dish soap is used after oil spills because it takes away all the oil 😉

[@madthumbs1564]

The thing is; you can season stainless, cast iron, and carbon steel, and all will perform the same as far as sticking goes.

[@jjwest642]

Why can't they preseason it for us? Oh ya, so we ruin it and have to buy another! That's a true scam tactic. Yes, I seasoned mine, but as soon as you "accidentally" put it on high heat for a few minutes its ruined! Cheap as any other non stick pan.

[@jesebsp]

Freakin' Reviews you can't "season" them. putting oil before using isn't "seasoning" as it isn't porous so it won't absorb like cast iron would. what you're doing is putting a coat of oil on to make it more non stick.

[@cesarp6761]

I think if you have to use oil is no different than other non-stick pans.. and they are probably less "high-maintenance' than this one here..

[@donnas1787]

I've had this pan for a few months now and it is not high maintenance. I seasoned it just as this gentlemen did before I used it and haven't since then. The directions say you only need to season it a few times per year.

[@oscarwong4201]

Donna S do you use only high heat at all? Or do you baby it every time just like he did? I’m a beginner at cooking so I can’t promise that I could baby it just like he did because this would be my first pan.

[@donnas1787]

@@oscarwong4201 I treat this pan just like the other non-stick, Teflon pans. I seasoned it as directed on the label before use. I have sauteed vegetables in it, cooked eggs, and warmed leftovers. I've never used high heat, didn't have to. Mostly medium to low heat; also my pan is a 10". I still put a little butter, olive oil, or water in pan before cooking. I wash my pan with warm soapy water. It's not really babying the pan to me. I use it like any other pan, except for seasoning it a few times a year. It's easy, just put some vegetable oil all around to cover the pan then put it in the oven for the designated time. I believe the Red Copper pan is safer to cook in than Teflon-non stick pans. That's why I like it.

[@cidhomerimperialpneulemen2107]

[@WormyLeWorm]

Agreed. Cast iron and carbon steel is the way to go. Most of my cooking is done in either and they don't even have to be cleaned often if you don't mind that. If I can make a french omelette in all of them, or even a plain aluminum pan with the right technique, what more do I need in terms of nonstick? Nonstick has its place however, like all kitchenware. Sometimes it's nice for ease of use with the conductivity of aluminum. Sticky milk-based sauces and drinks are nice in nonstick as well.

[@theresevincent2763]

I like cast iron skillets as well. What I find is that cast iron skillets are wonderful for meat, potatoes, etc. I find it hard to cook eggs in them though. I got a ceramic skillet from Wal-mart for around $25. I have taken good care of it. I have found that, like the gentleman in the video said, is has "degraded" slightly. For eggs I do have to use some cooking spray now. But mostly for the eggs. I have found that cooking eggs in a cast iron skillet is difficult as they tend to stick to the pan, especially scrambled eggs. Again, I do find that cast iron skillets are better for fry meat, like you said, as you can use them on a higher heat. That's especially good if someone has a thicker cut of meat.

A cast iron skillet would be better for camping, definately. Like you said, over a campfire or a grill.

Cast Iron's god for camping and cornbread, but when it comes to anything else, I'll stick to my (regular) 12" stainless. They're less maintenance than cast iron even, seeing as how I can use as much soap as I need, and if I'm lazy I can just chuck it in the dishwasher.

Mr. Wazzup Probably not. Properly seasoned cast iron cookware (easy) will not only last forever, it’s tough as hell, will be reasonably nonstick while lasting virtually as long as you want them to. You can bake with them, fry with them, broil with them, and all your cooking is never limited to a temperature limit. Wash them with soap and water too. Oil seasoning polymerizes to the iron so soap won’t attack it. These reinventions will never outperform good ol’ cast iron.

[@thecelticcrone7927]

You must have had a better outcome than me. I tempered the skillet just like you said and the instruction stated. I used skillet once, wiped it with a paper towel and gently washed it. Then wiped it down with a light coat of oil. Next time I used it I noticed that the center the skillet was crowned, in other words, the oil all ran to the sides. I put two eggs in the skillet and they stuck, in fact, I had to through the eggs away. That was it, I gave it away, I might as well have taken my money and threw out the window.

chukzombi ive never used a cast iron skillet. i see alot of people talking about it. is it that good?? from what ive seen it doesnt look easy to take care of and clean. am i wrong and just watching idiots using them or is there alot of care that must go into it.?

[@chukzombi]

cast iron is all i use. its as easy to clean and maintain as what FR did in this video. you just need to keep the griddles oiled or buttered up and cook on a medium heat and at the end of the cook you only need to wipe out a few crumbs or just rinse it in the sink. no soap though. soap will ruin your surface seasoning.

[@corynmay7463]

chukzombi thank you for answering my question. maybe ill look into one to try out. i havent seen any member of my family use one so i just thought it was something a chef would use. i actually just had to throw out a pan cause all it did was scorch on the bottom and i had to let it soak for atleast a day. it didnt matter what i cooked or if i used butter/oil it was always awful. i found a really nice one to replace it but it was satisfying to throw the old one out.lol. off topic.. anyway thank you again. some people get condescending if you ask a question.

[@chukzombi]

i dont mind answering. chefs do use them, they use vintage cast iron pans if they can get them, mine are from the 1920s and 30s, but i also have Lodge pans i bought brand new from walmart. the newer ones are heavier, but cook just as well. search on youtube for cast iron cooking and maintenance and you will get a good education on them and i bet if you dont mind their heavy weight you wont ever use anything else again. the food tastes better too.

[@Funnygalsproductions]

Works good for the first week don’t matter how much seasoning you do . Garbage

[@Mixwell1983]

I don't get the point of not using high heat, if you cook something like fajitas you need high heat to saute. The pan loses a lot of heat when you put food in so you want to recover that heat to sear because if not you're essentially steaming your food. Overcrowding a pan is also not good if you want to get a sear on your food. This is just from a culinary standpoint.

[@snailnslug3]

mixwell1983 I use cast iron and then throw it in the oven to stay hot (fajita meat) and even cook tortillas in a flat cast iron cooker.

Will this pan work with Induction burners ?

Nice review! Thank you. Have you used it in the oven? I read in another review the red from the bottom on the pan came off on the oven rack. I think they were referring to the big red square pan.

Olive oil on eggs...YUK. Butter my man, butter. Also that dish soap is hell on a pan. Treat it like the old cast iron pans, and I bet you they last for a very long time.

[@princessoffire1107]

I was just thinking that , about cast iron. Even after seasoning with cast iron, you are still NOT supposed to ever use dish soap in it never ever. If you do, be prepared to re-season it at least twice to get it back where it should be.

[@lalaloveshengymwah3171]

Its yum

[@gregoryeverson741]

you can use soap on a cast iron pan, you just have to season the pan again

[@willg4802]

NOPE!!!! The "non stick" degrades because of the heat. You are right about butter though. I cook eggs on stainless steel pans. You need to heat the pan and put butter on it, let it smoke. Then let it cool down. THEN, after it has cooled, you wipe the excess butter off. Then, when you use it, you add butter to it so it melts, don't burn it this time, and then put the eggs in it. Fried eggs can slide around on stainless steel, just as they do at the Waffle House. You don't wash it after seasoning it, you just wipe it dry.

[@digitalclown2008]

Butter is purely preferance. Olive oil and salt works just as fine and can be used to achieve different textures. Remember, not everyone can eat butter.

[@TheSandiemt]

Not supposed to use any oils

[@gregoryeverson741]

yes you can, its said butter or oil not required

[@barbaramatlock6543]

Ummm NO your Not suppose to have to use oil or butter to cook, thus the expression NON STICK! Of course butter or oil makes food come out easier. I have one of those pans and definitely give 👎to it.

Works well with a small amount of oil. Then just wipe it off.

The instructions for this pan do call for seasoning, and suggest re-seasoning every six months.

[@curveball1318]

The fact that you used any oil at all totally negates the purpose of this video. Of course the eggs are going to slide out easily once you coat them with oil by picking them up and placing them on the oil droplets that are already in the pan. I mean...... Really?

Why not just use the soft side of the sponge to clean it?

if they degrade over time then you are eating it. DO NOT EAT UNKNOWN CHEMICALS. but if you do add some paint chips for flavor.

[@digitalclown2008]

Jeff Brasfield You understand that by that logic, you shouldnt use any pans ever, because they use chemicals to produce those as well. And its not unknown, because you can physically look at what it is online. Its safe. Don't spread missinformation.

I know what chemicals they use to produce pans... Stainless steel and cast iron use ... Iron, carbon, maybe a little animal or vegetable protein. Non-stick use Teflon, a toxic synthetic fluoropolymer of tetrafluoroethylene. Guess which one I'd rather use.

[@larry45044]

can you season a skillet if its been used a few times??

[@mbdjr1248]

Yes. In fact, the manufacturer suggests that you "season" them in a 300 degree oven about every 6 months. Just wipe them with a paper towel soaked with olive oil and stick them all in the oven for about an hour. I have friends who use cast iron pans and they do get kind of grungy and need to be scrubbed (no soap with a metal scrubby designed for cleaning cast iron) and need to be reseasoned. Same with a carbon steel wok. Any chef knows that you have to take care of the tools you use in the kitchen. Is sharpening a good chef's knife regularly (like before every use) considered "babying"?

[@MYCHANNELWITHMYSTUFF]

UH a paper towel is more abrasive than a sponge so I'd say a sponge for cleaning is fine. And your care technique is fine if your single and/or your the only one who cooks in your house. try keeping the pan well cared for when your whole family is using it.

[@Incipitone]

Nice review. Use common sense and take good care of it.

[@onemansvintage]

We’ve had the red copper pan for around 6 months and we like it pretty well. We did season it and follow some simple care instructions (light detergent, no olive oil, no metal anything). I did have an incident where a family member used a metal spoon to dish out shrimp but luckily there were no scratches! It’s a pretty good pan but the ads are it’s main problem. Thanks for taking the time to do a long term review

[@menonunya2984]

Couple questions; do you have to add oil? Do you season it more than just the first use? If you season it after each wash, would you need the oil? If so, what is the point? I have good quality stainless steel pans and they are fairly non-stick too, with a little oil and the right temps. I was actually a little bummed when I bought my Wolfgang Puck set and found the saute pans were coated, because I knew it wouldn't last. The quality of the pans is outstanding, but the non-stick surface was absolutely shameful. It started coming off after about a month of using them, which made the pans worthless to me, even though I continued to use them until I got some new ones. If I could completely remove that coating, I'd have kept them, because the pans were awesome. I still have all the other ones and with a little oil (even better, cooking spray), they are virtually non-stick without any type of factory coating. Plus, if anything does stick, I can scrub them as hard as I want with whatever it takes and then polish them back up with a fine steel wool, if necessary. I'm still interested in these gimmicks though, I have an electric griddle with a ceramic surface (Oster DuraCeramic) that I am not very impressed with as far as being "non-stick''. First time I used it, destroyed a bunch of pancakes. However, cooking spray works good with that too. The problem is that the surface didn't hold up that great and it is harder to wash, the older it gets. (and I always use silicone utensils on non-stick stuff)

[@stevereist1509]

I bought a bunch of pans like this. Worked great for three, or four months. After that they stuck like glue. Threw them all away. Pulled out the old cast iron. Re seasoned them. That's all I use now. Properly seasoned cast iron works just as good, but also keeps on working.
