Stainless Steel Pan Testing FAIL 🔥😥 | POV Cooking Breakfast

[@SonicOrbStudios]

Lid next time to get the fire out. Pan was simply too hot. Stainless is okay for slowly cooking things like fried eggs, but I've never had luck with scrambled cooking faster Get some barkeeper's friend to get that pan ready again

[@0blivioniox864]

There's never a lid around when you need one

[@janamerican]

Yep too hot!

[@R.Reckless]

WAAY too hot. pan shouldn't go above 400 degrees. You want a medium to medium low. On an electric stove like a 5 or 6 on the dial. If the oil catches fire you're probably up over 5-600 degrees.

I use stainless steel at home and they are great pans. You should practice at home before using it in that kitchen. ALSO, bar keepers friend is what I use to clean my pans, you can also deglaze them when cooking. Your pan is way too hot I think

[@Nepomniachtchi_Austin]

You'd think a cook of his caliber would know that it's too hot when it causes an oil fire instead of blaming the pan lol

[@briankiefer856]

agreed, bar keepers friend restores the stainless steel pan to like new, don’t know his issue, a good stainless steel pan is rated for 450F to 500F in oven use too.

You just do your thing and let your cooking speak for itself. If I could just learn to flip eggs like you I'd be happy. Keep the videos coming!!

[@davecharles5212]

Yeah bro Cuisinart stainless is trash for eggs pancakes anything liquid. Stainless steel pans have pores in them and when heated these pores open and close during the heating process. If your pan is not heated properly LOW Heat, and you put eggs or anything liquid the results are the same in the pan the opening and closing pores will latch onto your food, causing it to stick when you go to flip it. I was a line chef for more than a decade and found some cheaper non sticks are way better. Keep up the vids your a real good cook I enjoy each one brings back memories.

[@Tux-YT]

I cook pancakes and eggs in mine all the time with no issues, but heat is key, always set at low heat.

[@scotty362100]

Dave - that is the dumbest post I have read in a long time - you don't have a clue what the heck you are talking about! I use my Cuisinart SS pans FOR EVERYTHING including pancakes and scrambled eggs! There are literally thousands of videos online demonstrating the proper way to use SS pans in restaurant settings!

[@S_Waltz]

Exactly these SS work great if you start off using a new pan at lower heat and season them with oil. The pan got way too hot and burned the oil to the pan making it useless. If you start with a new pan again use lower heat. Great vids by the way. Keep hustling 🔥🔥🔥👍👍🤘😎🤘

[@martyclack8782]

Hi Alex the stainless steel pans if you get the water beads and dances the pan ready you don’t need oil it won’t stick the oil flashed because the heat was to high. Also when cooking eggs you have to cook them quickly. Oh the best pans out on the market now are the diamond coat.

[@bparsons72007]

Watching your videos gives me more reason to not only tip the waitress but also the cook.

[@LovingTheBrauns]

Operator error. If you're going to use oil in a stainlees steel pan, it needs to heat WITH the pan. Stainless steel pans can handle higher heat temperatures, so they're good for searing steaks or fish, browning onions or garlic, cooking acidic foods like tomato sauce, or high heat stir frying. Non-stick is better for eggs and omelets, delicate fish filets, pancakes, or crepes, and sauteeing vegetables with minimal oil.😉

[@sawdusted9394]

[@joedavidzuniga1993]

❤❤😮😂😂woohoo.good advice ❤❤I'm just here for the flipz🖤🖤🖤" black glove mafia"

[@bizmanrk]

After the pan reaches the proper temp not super hot heat, maybe medium when you start, change temp to low or medium low then add a bit of oil. Then you can add your eggs. The pan is way to hot if it catches fire my man. Keep up the awesome job and keep posting them vids!

[@purplewizards]

Yeah way too hot that’s all 😊

[@hbrailsford8429]

Did you season the stainless steel pan before you used it?

[@raptorchic3042]

You likely have an expensive all clad skillet. If that is the case, or not, the heat is extremely way too hot. You can destroy all clad skillets by using that hot of a heat. Also, like cast iron, stainless skillets need to be seasoned. Make the first couple things you cook in it be sausage of something greasy. The oil you ladle into pan, seems to have spam type qualities to put that non removable coat on it. Regardless, your burner is way too high and you need to slowly season your new stainless pan :-)

[@Icon_LG]

The pan got too hot

[@Bunnythoughts505]

Apparently your name is Alex. Just wanted to say I subscribed and like every video I watch. Your videos have made me want to cook lol and I have been. I pray you make a lot of money and accomplish all your goals and dreams. ❤😊

[@yunkpatrol2345]

You are right that the Leidenfrost Effect test is how to ensure any steel pan is ready, e.g., carbon steel or stainless steel. But it seems that you let it get way too hot, hence the oil immediately catching fire and eggs sticking.

[@mikeyn012]

For what you’re doing, your non-stick are the best and you use them well. Like everyone is saying, the pan was too hot. When you get the droplets to dance, cut the heat way down.

[@riplante]

[@dadlovestofish]

My kid heated an all metal pan like that in my VRBO one day. Instantly caught fire like that one did. Lol! Your true test was the water beading up like it did. Should have stopped there. Stainless steel has their place in cooking, unfortunately not at high heat. Nice glove changes after touching raw meat. It's not going unnoticed! Clean kitchen overall. I'd eat there for sure.

Stainless Steel pans depends of the brand and not easy to master, i mean the control of the temperatures, type of oil or butter used and speed cooking according of what you put in the pan like proteins or vegetables had to be almost perfect like master chefs do requires a lot of practice but once mastered they are the best for sure, but by the type of cooking you do not really necessary don't worry to much you are good.

[@martincalvillo3210]

For stainless you want a medium heat. When the videos talk about the water dancing on the pan that is for when you should start cooking on it. If it sizzles it's still too cold. bajale a la lumbre un poco y sirbira bien. I also haven't really tried scrambled eggs because I prefer fried eggs. It works great for that

[@benlogan2270]

I think if you season the pan first it should be non stick. There are many tutorials on how to season them on youtube. Idk if theyre good for fast paced high heat like here but worth a shot?

I think you’ve been very patient with the servers and the time it takes them to pick up the orders. You’ve made excuses for them before and you have tried to be understanding but if I were a customer in that restaurant, I would have a real problem if I had to wait an excessive amount of time for my order. If it happened more than once, I wouldn’t go there anymore.

Im still blown away you don't have a bowl to toss the fries in the spices. Not to be rude but, the way you do them, only a few fries get the seasoning. It okay takes a few extra seconds to dump the basket I to a bowl, season em and toss em a few times

[@JChe-ft4zc]

I'm sure others have stated this, but your pan was too hot. Although I'm unfamiliar with the Cuisinart brand, but if they're anything like the Legend stainless steel pans I have, they can't be so hot that your oil starts smoking. Your oil should never smoke, and if it ignores, you're probably at least 2-300 degrees hotter than you should be. Hope you try cooking with them again at a lower temp in the future! Good luck.

[@EricJames-y8p]

That pan sucks bro bro trash it !!!

The pan is good quality, you only need to practice and heat that pan at medium heat. Good luck!

[@you166mhz]

21:09 -- it's the pan's coating ... inferior quality ... to be conservative on supplies --- use tongs more often like on the French toast (less gloves) -- then have a small container of water off the side to place the tongs in -- then use paper towels to wipe them now and then ... BTW --- I like those giant tortillas ... lol .. 101:42 --- it would be nice to identify non obvious meats to the flattop .... what kind of meat is that ? ...
