      She didn't season the pan at the start, she should have put a tiny amount of oil (literally 1 or 2 drops) on at the start and wiped it around and then she would have had no problems for all the tests. When they are new you wash them then add a tiny amount of oil and they work great every time.

    @ianp622 5 лет назад +22

    For some models Calphalon has a "Slide" and "Sear" variant. Slide is more appropriate for the typical non-stick tasks like you tested here, whereas Sear is more for the high heat tasks like the salmon (provides good browning and even heating) and is a pretty good general use pan if you don't want to worry about cleanup. I'm wondering if you got a "Sear" Calphalon, or if that's just their best application even when they don't make a distinction. It also would be helpful if you discussed whether they are oven safe - the Calphalon's usually are. To be clear I've used a bunch of Calphalon pans but I'm not particularly attached to them.

      I was thinking about the same thing too. I was shocked about the result on Claphalon. I have been cooking with some Calphalon Elite pans for 3 years. I assume this is the high end branch of this brand.Everything works very well since I don't do non-oiled fried dishes. I forgot to turn off the gas stove after cooking for twice and left those pans on stove for 1-2 hrs. I found some white powdery residue on the bottom of the pans, except than that, everything works still well so far. I guess Claphalon is good for high heat cooking, ok for dish washers?

  • @abbas1872
    @abbas1872 4 года назад +12

    The heat settings were different when you did the salmon. Turned up high for the Tefal , lower for the Calphalon and high again for the All-Clad. Look at the red heat setting indicator in the overhead shot when she places the salmon in each pan at 6:12 then 6:32 and finally at 6:54.

  • @spiousas
    @spiousas 5 лет назад +14

    Great test! I have a hypothesis: I think the reason why the Calphalon performed so well searing the fish is that it actually got stuck. While in a non-stick pan it could happen that small tensions in the fish could pull some parts of it up, the fact that there was sticking going on in the Calphalon prevents it from happening and gives a more homogeneous searing. That is the reason why you use grease while searing a steak, in order to fill up the empty spaces between the pan and the piece of meat.

    • @vangrindz8650
      @vangrindz8650 5 лет назад +1

      Great hypothesis. Fish skin tends to buckle under heat, which is why it's important to press down on it when searing with oil. With the oil-less Caphalon, the fish skin stuck and was unable to buckle, until it seared enough to release on its own.

    there's a bit non stick degradation over time but it's not noticeable. the only annoying thing I'd say is that it has a weird hot spot where everything cooks faster on this spot than the other.

    @TRASHoftheTITANS 4 года назад +5

    I've always found Tefal non-sticks very impressive, even the very cheapest ones seem to hold onto their coating better than anything else. I typically buy thicker-based, forged aluminium ones with metal handles as I like their versatility, but I find even they don't last a year without starting to form fond. My mother's cheapo Tefal omelette pan, on the other hand, she's had for about 8 years. It's misshapen from having been bashed around, its handle is coming loose and it heats way too quickly for my liking, but I must concede, it's still as nonstick as it was the day she bought it. They're maybe not the most versatile nor well-built skillets out there, but they easily outperform pans 3-4× their pricepoint in terms of lasting performance.

    A major issue in this test is that Calphalon is a completely different kind of pan then the other two, it’s a thicker pan made of layered types of metal with the nonstick part of the outer layer whereas the other two are a Teflon coating. Also it heating up faster is not a bad thing if you know that it’s made different, it was retaining the heat better and more evenly that is why it can actually sear.

      Hate to be the one to tell you this, but Teflon is literally the safest. And pfoa hasn't been a thing in Teflon manufacturing since about 2013.
      Your "titanium" pans are made using the "Sol-Gel process" and contains several things not good for you. you should probably look that up and stop thinking your stuff is safe compared to Teflon.
      Cast iron and carbon steel pans contain several elements not good for you, including manganese.
      Stainless steel contains things like nickel and chromium, in addition to some of the elements also used in cast and carbon steel.
      Also pfoa was never in Teflon. It was used in the manufacture of Teflon, and sometimes very very tiny Trace amounts would still be in the Teflon as applied to a pan. but you couldn't get any of it in you really because Teflon has the strongest bonds in all of organic chemistry and since it will not react with anything inside your body your body cannot pull it apart to extract other things out of it. So any pfoa molecule that might be in the Teflon is completely locked away and it's totally safe.
      the reason the government got rid of pfoa is because during the manufacturing process large quantities were getting out into the environment, not because they thought you were being poisoned by eating it in the food cooked in Teflon pans.
      That was the idiots on the internet who wouldn't know science if somebody shoved Einstein's personal papers straight up their ass.

    These types of tests are never without biases. This one is undisguised advertisement for Tefal. Notwithstanding, I am in the market for a Calpahone or All-clad. All non-stick pans, however proven or reputable, should have a coaxing of cooking oil or butter to begin cooking, unless it's an air-frying stunt.

    With the Salmon test, the oil in the skin rendered out and allowed the fish to fry in itself. My theory is that the Salmon stuck to the calphalon but allowing it to render and crisp up it released itself and because it stuck it had full surface contact= even browning.

    @robertmcelfresh1031 5 лет назад +1

    Uhhh... It would be fair to put in some butter or oil, then wipe with a paper towel prior to cooking to see if the caliphon did better as a second pass. Also - the pancake batter was not enough to completely coat the bottom of each pan. In theory - a good pan tries to distribute the heat uniformly. Just having batter exactly the size of your burner does not tell us if the pan distributes heat. Some people have small burners, some people have large.

    I have found that the thickness of the metal is critical. If a pan is thin, it will overheat and warp easily. Thin pans will often warp when you deglaze and after several times you have a nasty wave in the bottom of the pan. I'm currently using a Green Diamond pan ($30 from WalMart) and it's doubly think on the bottom. Great so far after 6 months.

    You should always be able to use a metal spatula with a good non stick pan, if you have to use plastic the pan will not hold up and need to be replaced. Plus when you use a plastic spatula, even one made for non stick, after a while the end of the material will have melt spots you cant even see with the naked eye but this will actually scratch the pan over time. A very smooth thin but sturdy rounded end spatula will never scratch even an old teflon pan. Plus a good non stick should go from stove top to oven.

    it would probably have been better to actually use the same temperature settings or have an ir thermometer to get same surface temps. you can clearly see that the tfal was higher heat at 8 on the salmon, whereas calphalon started at 6 then ended at 7, and the all-clad was at 7. The temps were also set differently for egg and pancake, too.

    The only problem with this video is that it doesn't account for the fact that the T-fal pan will warp much faster (due to it being thinner) than the other two, leading to serious heat distribution problem. You will be replacing the T-fal pans much more often than the other two, so the running cost will be higher over time.

    Loads of thoughts on this one. First - an initial reaction test means nothing with non-stick pans. You need to check how LONG the non-stick lasts. Second - everyone saying they for the All Clad for $10 somewhere, check the model. There are lots of models and you most likely didn't get this one. Not that it matters because.. Third - You should replace non-stick pans every so often because no matter what is used as the non-stick treatment, it wears with time. And Lastly - She didn't say or check if these pans work with her stove. Not all pans are designed that type of heat.
