Unboxing High End Cookware

[@curtismatsune3147]

You're killin' me here! Just when I had resolved not to spend any more money on cookware this month, you pull me back in.

[@AlexT-sy6nm]

Just when you thought you were out [...]

IKR?

Fun to watch Uncle Scott. Your going to love that Breville oven ! I use mine way more than my regular oven. It's great for baked taters , pizza , browning buns and cheeze, small batches of cookies. And yep it takes up so much counter space that I put mine on a tall bakers rack that I have in my kitchen with all my other electrical appliances and extra pans and stuff . Happy Christmas. 🎅

[@UncleScottsKitchen]

Happy Christmas right back, Top! I also have a rack for gear that I can't leave on the counter... several air fryers and deep fryers on there. My wife is threatening to make me donate some stuff, but I am holding on strong (for now). The Breville looks pretty sweet.

[@DianePahl]

Good haul! I think you will love that Breville Smart Oven Pro. Not sure if it will replace your other dehydrator due to the Excalbur has many more trays. I think you can buy extra dehydrator trays for the Breville - you'll have to check the website. I use it for small batch dehydrating but still use my other dehydrators for larger jobs when fruit is in season. That Breville does a great job - it may run a little hotter than your regular oven so keep an eye on it when you first start using it so you get used to that. One thing that oven does is proof bread dough wonderfully. My kitchen gets a little drafty in the winter, so I can get consistent temps on the proofing of my bread dough by using the Breville. The other nice thing about it is, when it's hotter than hades in the summer, using it doesn't heat up your whole kitchen. I hope you enjoy it!

Uncle Scott opening his packages like a kid at Christmas. And he got exactly what he wanted. I am looking forward to the Finex vs Stargazer skillet competition.

[@PlasmaFuzer]

I got the same Staub lilac oval dutch oven. I think I paid 225 a year ago on a sale. Great pot, I use it as a roaster for whole chickens. Solid overall and I don't mind the color since it's pretty subtle. The Finex cast iron is an all time favorite of mine. Any pan I've cooked hundreds maybe thousands of steaks in is going to be my favorite.

[@UncleScottsKitchen]

I haven't cooked in either of them a single time so I have some catching up to do, but I doubt I can eat 1,000 steaks in three years!

[@jkbcook]

I have a small cast iron abelskiver pan. It also makes a great pan for the Japanese takoyaki which uses octopus, but I use shrimp or scallops. I’ve also used it to melt a mix of cheese inside each little space and serve with bread for an appetizer. So the pan has more than one use.

[@chongli297]

I have an oval Le Creuset. I absolutely love it! It's not as big and heavy as a round one would be with the same major diameter (obviously) and it's large enough to fit a whole chicken with room to spare for veggies. But the thing I discovered by accident is that it has a super power when cooking with it on a flat-top electric stove: 2 zone cooking! I like to move it partially off the burner in order to get a hot zone on one side of the oval and a cool zone on the other. This lets me move food around between the hot and cold zones as needed (just like grilling over charcoal)! It's also great if you're browning a piece of meat that doesn't completely cover the bottom area because you can move the part with the fond away from the heat so that it doesn't burn while you're browning the other side.

[@jack_batterson]

Luv my Stargazer 12" cast skillet. Cooking my supper in it this evening as I watch Uncle Scott get buried in cardboard and wrapping paper.

[@UncleScottsKitchen]

I wish my editing software had a "remove crinkle noise" feature!

[@H4KnSL4K]

I got one of these like 4.5 years ago. That was before the carbon steel... I don't use it for a lot of things anymore

[@smcm7010]

Just got a new deBuyer delivered today. Seasoning as I speak. I can share your excitement.

[@philipp594]

Falk has a new fusion line which is dope. I also went on a shopping spree. Got the 2nd gen combustion inc thermometer, the stainless vitamix container, a chamber vac, gestura spoon and a 28cm sautoir from bourgeat.

[@UncleScottsKitchen]

Well played, sir, well played. Jealous!

[@philipp594]

@ thank you 🙏

[@offhue8462]

Merry Christmas, Uncle Scott

[@BackyardWarrior]

Unboxing of the year💯💯

[@UncleScottsKitchen]

Thank you, BackYard!

[@Raga985]

So much fun

[@AmirhoseinHerandy]

Finex is amazing. The thing with cast iron is the thicker it is the better it is at heat retention and by extension searing (thisnis why I prefer cast iron for sraring steaks over carbon steel). I believe the Finex is the only cast iron pan that is heavier than lodge, and this makes it the king of searing.

[@PlasmaFuzer]

Love it too. My ONLY criticism is the finish on the walls. I kind of wish they went with a smooth finish on the walls like a Smithy. I've tried many times to do eggs in the thing and I always get eggs stuck in the texture (no I'm not cooking them one at a time) and it always results in a pain for cleanup despite the cooking surface being totally nonstick. It is my designated searing pan. It's pretty much all I used it for unless I plan on making a pan sauce, then the go to is copper or carbon steel.

[@UncleScottsKitchen]

Agreed! I like a heavy pan myself... got to be able to maintain a sear and also make cornbread!

[@kodak28]

I just got a signature series Falk 4.8qt saucier because of this channel. Ouch! And YAY 😂

[@UncleScottsKitchen]

They don't give them away but I think you will appreciate the investment the more you use it! I just did a short video on popping some popcorn in my Falk saucier, but I think mine is a size smaller than the one you have: kzbin.infocQr9dQ9nBb4?feature=share

[@brianharrell5612]

I bought the Breville last year, absolutely love it.

[@PlasmaFuzer]

The Breville toaster oven thing is waaaay better than any toaster oven I've ever had. And it has pretty good temperature control on the low end for delicate tasks.

[@UncleScottsKitchen]

Very glad to hear! I wasn't sure about it, but the sale drew me in... should be fun to check out!

[@cherylschwarz3950]

I also got two Staub pieces but mine are on the small size scale as I am cooking for 1-2 most of the time. The 2.75 regular and the 3 qt deep Cocottes....LOVE them both so much I bought the 4 qt Cocotte for my favorite niece for a Christmas present.

[@UncleScottsKitchen]

Those 4-quarts may end up being the bargain of the season... they were on sale, and a great size too. If I didn't already have one, I'd have bought one! I like having a bigger one for big stews and soups. My wife is having people over tomorrow, so I am making a bunch of chili. Will try to fit it all in the 13 and see how it goes!

[@cherylschwarz3950]

@@UncleScottsKitchen I read somewhere, that a guy made a full pot of chili in his new 13 qt Staub and all together it weighed 50 pounds !! wow I wonder if there is a maximum weight recommendation for glass cook tops/induction??? I edited my first post to say the the 3 qt cocotte I bought was the 3 qt Deep one.

[@JPFalcononor]

I am skeptical of a "steak pan" performing any differently than using a carbon steel pan. Maybe you can do a side by side cooking comparison some day.

[@UncleScottsKitchen]

That is indeed going to be part of an upcoming video!

[@artichaug1719]

Some seriously impressive kit you have there. On you extra. oven come handy for yr Xmas prep.

[@Visitkarte]

Gosh, your home is my dream. How much space do you have? I have a slight suspicion your wife bugs you about the space so her family ends up receiving wonderful cookware just broken in. Very thoughtful, giving away nicely seasoned carbon steel pans. Your family is so lucky!

[@excalibur7185]

It has become an obsession now.

[@garryhammond3117]

All really nice cookware there Stott. I assume you're filming from the doghouse (While the wifey is out - She probably has your Buck knife...). - lol

[@UncleScottsKitchen]

I'm sleeping with one eye open these days!

[@chongli297]

Yeah I tried a grill pan once and I hated it after the very first cook and cleanup! I think a grill pan could be made easy to clean if the surface had gently undulating waves to create grill marks, rather than sharply raised ridges. Maybe that's too difficult to make but I'm not sure why it couldn't be done with a mould, just like any other cast iron piece of cookware

[@bingster-223]

That's a nice haul.

[@UncleScottsKitchen]

Favorite time of year (for many reasons!).

[@mr.thegreat557]

Really looking forward to the de Buyer Steak Pan review. Might treat myself to one in the New Year as de Buyer are opening a UK website soon.

[@UncleScottsKitchen]

How do you get De Buyer in the UK now? Just Amazon or what?

[@mr.thegreat557]

@ Nisbets has a limited but decent selection including copper and HAUSwares is the official importer of de Buyer into Britain but again it’s limited.

[@jimglatthaar4053]

Fun unboxing video. Just think, if your wife divorces you, you could open a retail store, possibly partner with Jed from Cook Culture to open a Utah location. That is, if you can part with any of the cookware!

[@UncleScottsKitchen]

Maybe a cookware museum!

[@jimglatthaar4053]

@@UncleScottsKitchen I like that idea. I just bought a 10" carbon steel skillet from Santa Barbara foundry. I can't wait to season and start cooking.

[@gsmyrna7469]

I have the steak Pan I want to see your test on the steak Pan. Tell me about the Eiffel Tower debuyer Fry pans.

[@UncleScottsKitchen]

I should have bought one of those Eiffel Tower pans back when they were in stock but I didn't... would be sweet to have! Same pans as regular, but has a handle shaped like the tower..

[@jaymyers3888]

Finex is now owned by Lodge. No longer made in Portland Oregon.

[@UncleScottsKitchen]

I did not know that! wow... maybe they are still working through their old inventory of boxes because that's what it said

[@normrubio]

Is it “Fine-X” or “Fin-X”?

[@UncleScottsKitchen]

I have learned two things in making KZbin videos: 1. I mispronounce lots of words. 2. When I mispronounce a word, someone will let me know! :)

[@Claudi771]

[@darylfortney8081]

First step is to admit you have a problem 😂

[@normandlegault6154]

As much as I love your cooking, I think you're starting to lose the plot. How much cookware do you actually need, man?

[@liduinewellink8486]

How much do you need? I hope you sell it on to people who really need it.
