    They are actually priced VERY reasonably. There are many brands that don't use silver or make their stuff by hand and cost more. I really want one of their sauce pans. I bet a wok would be great as well since you could get a lot of heat into the food without the thermal mass of iron. The heat could also spread up the side of the wok nice and evenly.

    • @darthplagueis13
      @darthplagueis13 4 года назад +30

      In all fairness, one of the reasons why the price wasn't too bad is that the turkish economy is in a horrible state and the turkish lira has been suffering from severe inflation (mostly thanks to the turkish president Erdogan insisting that the base rate must not be raised whilst simultaneously scaring off investors with an increasingly aggressive, isolationist and pro-islamistic policy that has made turkey somewhat unpopular in international politics).
      If you can offer a foreign, more stable currency like the US-dollar or the Euro, you can pretty much always get really good prices in regions with a faltering local currency.

    • @BRUXXUS
      @BRUXXUS 4 года назад +32

      I think a wok made like this would be like a totally new kind of cooking pan. I'm pretty sure the one of the benefits of the wok's shape and poor thermal conductivity is so you get SUPER high temps right at the bottom/middle, and a gradient of temps as you go up the side. Kind of gives you a variety of cooking temperatures to work with. :)

Corn was unknown until America explored. Turks saw corn first in Egypt market so they named corn after this country, Mısır. In Turkish "Corn" and "Egypt" are Mısır.

    It's weird how everyone who's even remotely into cooking are fans of cast iron, yet very few are fans of copper.
    Ever since teflon became known to be dangerous, there was a huge boost in the popularity of cast iron. I've heard friends saying "got this cast iron pan from my grandmy, refurbed it and I love it" - but their grandma also had copper pans and they never even bothered with that.
    Outside of France, copper seems to be viewed as something people just buy if they're into the retro style and want a whole set of copper cookware.
    Yet I figure it most home cookes would benefit from having ONE copper pan, for cases when you cook something non-acidic and need great heat control.

      I know Copper is extremely good for cooking, and used to be common here until midcentury, but it has some down sides as it can't be used on Induction, you can't just wash it in the dish washer, it is best suited for open fires and gas, you have to polish and use it regularly. Great for professionals not so much for my tiny home kitchen.

    • @BenRangel

      @Claptrap Jesus Yes. But when I say "copper cookware" I basically mean LINED copper. Are there even unlined copper pans for sale? I feel like that's hardly an issue. Seems most copper pans are lined with tin.
      But yeah, I bet a big factor in old copper cookware not being picked up more often is that people are a bit unsure of the state of the lining. If you find a pan at a flea market and you're unsure about the lining you might pass on it entirely. If the lining is totally wasted and you can get the pan for cheap, it might be a good deal if you get it re-lined. But since most people have no idea how a lining should look to be good enough - I bet that scares some people away from the 2nd hand copper market)
