Istanbul is such an amazing place. Especially for shopping. Need a button, there’s an entire street of button stores. Need a wheel for a wheelbarrow? There’s a street for that. Love the place.
Picture this, random person walking down the streets of Istanbul, seeing a raving beautiful lunatic Frenchman talking about the ultimate saucepan in the universe; what interesting times we live in.
There is a strong relationship between France and Turkey for some reason. When I was there a lot of Turkish people are either studying French at school, speaking it or translating it. I also heard a lot of French speaking - what I presume to be, tourists - walking around.
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.
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.
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. :)
@@BRUXXUS I think it would be a wok in shape only. A wok cooks like a wok for the reasons you said. At that point it wouldn’t be much different from one of their frying pans.
There is just something that is so insanely beautiful and pleasing in the knowledge that there are companies that still make high quality full on function products like that saucepan
I’m glad I learned this. I assumed they were saying “I am” in spanish to show that they make products by hand for individuals in such an intimate way lol.
I really love those small b-roll shots he sprinkles in. So much chaos at that workshop and he still has the mental capacity to remember to get multiple angles of everything going on, and filming people's hands etc.
I was so surprised when they took out a silver sheet instead of just plating on the silver. Also I went to their website to see if these pans cost more or less than $2000, and they are closer to $200.
@@wisnoskij also after a little further digging, I did find some at the price you talked about, for some reason it took me to the real expensive shit first. But I did see some at the $200 mark
Ah yes. Now I want pans that’s I absolutely CANNOT afford wow the most likes I've gotten on a comment. Maybe go drop some love on my cooking channel while you're here? :D
@Mycel : And they "Include" - Free maintenance, apparently - A couple of Shipping trips around the world, and it may be cheaper to get a local Jeweller / Silversmith rejuvinate the lining, OR do it yourself with some bullion quality silver ( only ~24USD-spot / oz) and a MAP-Gas torch.
@Mycel Yeah but at least you'll be able to relatively easily return them to as-new condition with a bit of polish. I think the copper will look pretty good as it oxidises though.
I bought my wife a pan in the beginning of December and got it yesterday and it is truly an amazing pan, it's heavy but feels so good in the hand. I can't wait to use it to make a great sauce. Thanks Alex for introducing us to Soy!
What a nice Idea for a video. Exploring the craftsmanship that goes into our most used tools in the kitchen could be a very interesting series. Especially when it comes to knives.
I remember the first time i heard about this guy who made copper pots, it was an episode called "Interview with a Real Pot Dealer" on vice. i was so mesmerized by the craftsmanship that i needed to get my hands on one these pots. Sadly, at the time, he wasn't well known as he kept a very low profile and only those in the biz knew about him. Getting one took a while as there was no website. eventually, i was able to get one... they are the best.

Emir is such a cool guy. We visited his workshop and shop a couple of years back. So friendly straight away even though we were complete strangers. Best Episode in a while.
I worked with the turks in albany NY here in the states. There's a copper wire factory there called sark wire it's a subsidiary of the same factory name based in Turkey, they're good people, I was sorry that I had to leave. Hearing about turkey made me want to visit some day.
Our people is kind at workplace or work ethics because old time people work in harmony and there is somethink call ``ahilik`` that stands for tradesmen solidarity.
While they're turning the pot I realized that one of the most popular cymbal companies in the world, Zildjian, was founded in Constantinople, Turkey. Plenty of experienced metal formers in that area.

So satisfying to see this sauce pan being made, not by mass production machines, but through craftsmanship. I bet these pans will last a lifetime, if not more.

what is the problem with that? Muslims typically say "inshallah" when they are talking about something that is going to happen or they are planning to do
@@AhmedAshraf-pd7mu Idk if you know, but a lot of people say Inshallah(yes, I know it's a Muslim word) for when they want to show that they have no idea how something's going to work and they just hope it will in a meme-y sort of way. Basically it's a meme form for "I hope."
@@archeofutura_4606 immmm, not exactly like that We use it to express the fact that we can't guarantee everything would go as planned As if you say "I'd do my best, and theoretically everything should go well, though the possibility of something going unplanned is always there" >>> It actually translates to "if god well"
@@SergNo1 "Spinning" refers to that process where they were pushing the disk onto a form like they did in the video. What you usually do on a lathe where you cut your stock into shape is "turning". So if what Dustin says about their website is true then this video does expose some disingenuous advertising. That said, spinning stuff is fucking difficult by all accounts so idk why they'd be ashamed of it. Now I think about it, it seems reasonably likely that there was just a translation error since "spinning" and "turning" are such similar words.
1:21 It's not "Corn Bazaar" it's "Mısır Bazaar" and can be translated as "Egypt Bazaar". Mısr means metropol in Arabic and Egypt is mentioned as a metropol (Mısr) in Qur'an so Muslims call Egypt Mısır. Mısır Bazaar is the market of goods imported from Egypt mainly. 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. Like in English Turkey means both a country and a bird. Englishmen named this bird after the country Turkey because similarity of a bird they saw among Turks. And we call this bird Hindi means Indian because explorers thought they found India when they landed America.
@@yarbas89 I hear "Corn Bazaar". His lips open as an "O" shape indicates "cOrn". His accent is so heavy. There is Grand Bazaar close to Mısır (Corn/Egypt) Bazaar, so you may be right. I definitely can't hear "Grand" here.
@@cihanfatihi it’s definitely not corn, he says it quickly but you can hear the d at the end and he says grand in almost like a posh British sound, grarnd and then with a French accent, carned.
@@jacklai8933 Probably you are right but I am definitely hearing "Corn" with a throat shredding "K" sound and a heavy French "R" but not any "D" anywhere. Maybe because of my language, in Turkish every letter is vocalized as it's pronunciation. Turkish is very consistent. So I can't hear inconsistent words that well. I don't know, his heavy French accent is crushing my existence. Argh!
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 cookware often requires re-lining and can be rivalled by alu - but still, surprised it's not more popular)
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.
@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)
@@ellerikke3948 True, the induction issue might be a huge factor these days. The dishwasher thing, I dunno - I feel people are used to being advised to not washing most pans in the dishwasher (neither cast iron, nor carbon steel, nor teflon)
I'm not sure if teflon pans are healthy or not but nonstick pan, in general, are shit they never brown the food well! what good can they do? the best you can use them for is to fry an egg I use a stainless steel and I love it plan to level up to a copper pan or at least cast iron as soon as I get my first ever paycheck soon inshallah
@@AhmedAshraf-pd7mu I feel like browning food hasn’t always been quite as popular as it is now. Crust on stake wasn’t always a big talking point. When teflon was at it’s height of popularity I feel like a lot of people mainly focused on nonstick. Sure, stainless is very useful. But it’s a bit unfair to say non-stick is limited: you CAN get *some* browning in a nonstick pan, even if it’s not to the level that a steak-crust-lover needs.

Alex is the male version of Ina Garten. “ And I’ll be using fresh dill watered with newborn gecko tears, but store bought is fine.” Alex,” I need to know if a sauce pan has anything to do with elevating my sauce game, so I’m headed to Turkey to make a solid copper and silver lined sauce pan from scratch.” 😜🤣🥃
I believe the commercial notebook should say BLUE FRIDGE THEORY!!
I feel emotional just watching that level of craftsmanship. It's amazing that a work of art like that also has a practical use as a cooking utensil!!
That is really the prettiest looking pan I've ever seen. Almost like a disco ball and the amount of craftsmanship is mad. Would love to make one.
Hey Alex, did you get a chance to say hi to Refika while you were in Istanbul? Her English language channel has since taken off, merci for introducing us to her

How are you still 1m subscribers? Many people should subscribe to you because you have the most unique and arguably the best content on culinary industry. Love from PH❤️
the subscriber count is at 1.56 million. quite a way off from one million.
@@albertescamilla what i meant is that he should have more than that
@@toshisuzuki6064 youtube algorythm don't really favor this type of posting, too short and not regular enough for it's taste. So it will be less present in recommended videos compared to some others.
i saw documentary about these guys and felt inspired and now you go there PERFECT VIDEO!
Do you by any chance remember what was the head title of the documentary or where I can find it?!.. I would appreciate it deeply man.
@@khaledgomaa9794 it was “munchies interview with a real pot dealer” I guess
@@tnycnsn thanks man!.. Aprreciate it alot
O
I've always found Turkish culture and music really beautiful. This is so awesome!
OMG My husband just watched this and ordered a pan from Turkey. Can't wait to get it in.
That is such a beautiful pot.
Ahhhh deux de mes idoles, Alex et the real pot dealer :-)
Sérieux vous me faites trop plaisir les deux!
Continuez à faire ce que vous faites c'est top!
Bigup from Switzerland guys!
This guy deserves so much more, the amount of production quality and effort that goes into his videos is almost unmatched.
J’adore ton anglais. Il est parfait, avec une prononciation française. Simply Magic.
Alex, keep spreading joy with your journey. You’re wonderful
"lt's gonna work... inch'allah"

hey, hey guys
what did metal say to its crush
i got my iron you ;)
i'll let myself out now
I think Soy just gained a few new customers.
Not at the price they are selling. It makes sense, but it's really a market for a professional kitchen. I doubt many chefs watch Alex.
@@SaitoGray Disagree. Lots of gear junkies out there. Gear junkies with money.
@@SaitoGray I disagree. I looked at their prices and they’re not all that much more than something like All-Clad. That’s a favorite for home chefs in the US
i need one so badly, just gonna buy a crepe pan
Alex your composition of visual and music is outstanding. You and Joshua showed that beauty of a pan like no one would.
incomprehensible
That is the most beautiful copper pan I've seen to date, it's like a kaleidoscope
3:56 Emir's very Turkish move: hits the glass bottom to the table to prevent a drip of waste tea...
He's gonna make ramen with that aren't you, Alex?
Oui!
@@lechatbotte. WAAAAyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!
How else is he gonna be able to make 'tare'?
Instant ramen too.
He really said “it’ll work....inshallah” lmaooo
💀💀💀
what is the problem with that?
Muslims typically say "inshallah" when they are talking about something that is going to happen or they are planning to do
@@AhmedAshraf-pd7mu i know that. He used it more in a sense of “I hope” though which i found funny
@@AhmedAshraf-pd7mu Idk if you know, but a lot of people say Inshallah(yes, I know it's a Muslim word) for when they want to show that they have no idea how something's going to work and they just hope it will in a meme-y sort of way. Basically it's a meme form for "I hope."
@@archeofutura_4606 immmm,
not exactly like that
We use it to express the fact that we can't guarantee everything would go as planned
As if you say "I'd do my best, and theoretically everything should go well, though the possibility of something going unplanned is always there"
>>>
It actually translates to "if god well"
A simple tool made in a way that is very complex, in order to create basics. I am absolutely astonished.
Man Alex meets the most amazing, kind, and fun people. I love this channel and everyone in it. Even the community too
On the soy website, they say "No press or even spinning is involved", but they're spinning here. I'm confused.
Just guessing but maybe they're referring to some industrial spinning, or in general a different kind.
Wonder if there was a switch when they went to lunch. I feel his pot are more art that function.
Where do they say that? I couldn't find.
I bet it's because they don't cut the material like you usually do on a lathe, but just use it to bend the metal
@@SergNo1 "Spinning" refers to that process where they were pushing the disk onto a form like they did in the video. What you usually do on a lathe where you cut your stock into shape is "turning". So if what Dustin says about their website is true then this video does expose some disingenuous advertising.
That said, spinning stuff is fucking difficult by all accounts so idk why they'd be ashamed of it. Now I think about it, it seems reasonably likely that there was just a translation error since "spinning" and "turning" are such similar words.
Oh, I thought this is a new Man At Arms Reforged episode :D
I can't be the only one annoyed with the placement of the atomic number in the thumbnail.
Yesss man
Chemist's revolt!
Aaahhhh
Now that you've pointed it out...
Thank you
the craftsmanship on this pots is amazing !
His workplace looks like something your grandfather has in his garage, what comes out is a masterpiece
1:21 It's not "Corn Bazaar" it's "Mısır Bazaar" and can be translated as "Egypt Bazaar".
Mısr means metropol in Arabic and Egypt is mentioned as a metropol (Mısr) in Qur'an so Muslims call Egypt Mısır. Mısır Bazaar is the market of goods imported from Egypt mainly. 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. Like in English Turkey means both a country and a bird. Englishmen named this bird after the country Turkey because similarity of a bird they saw among Turks. And we call this bird Hindi means Indian because explorers thought they found India when they landed America.
He didn't say 'corn', he said the 'grand' bazaar.
@@yarbas89 I hear "Corn Bazaar". His lips open as an "O" shape indicates "cOrn". His accent is so heavy. There is Grand Bazaar close to Mısır (Corn/Egypt) Bazaar, so you may be right. I definitely can't hear "Grand" here.
@@cihanfatihi it’s definitely not corn, he says it quickly but you can hear the d at the end and he says grand in almost like a posh British sound, grarnd and then with a French accent, carned.
@@jacklai8933 Probably you are right but I am definitely hearing "Corn" with a throat shredding "K" sound and a heavy French "R" but not any "D" anywhere. Maybe because of my language, in Turkish every letter is vocalized as it's pronunciation. Turkish is very consistent. So I can't hear inconsistent words that well. I don't know, his heavy French accent is crushing my existence. Argh!
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 cookware often requires re-lining and can be rivalled by alu - but still, surprised it's not more popular)
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.
@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)
@@ellerikke3948 True, the induction issue might be a huge factor these days.
The dishwasher thing, I dunno - I feel people are used to being advised to not washing most pans in the dishwasher (neither cast iron, nor carbon steel, nor teflon)
I'm not sure if teflon pans are healthy or not
but nonstick pan, in general, are shit
they never brown the food well! what good can they do? the best you can use them for is to fry an egg
I use a stainless steel and I love it
plan to level up to a copper pan or at least cast iron as soon as I get my first ever paycheck soon inshallah
@@AhmedAshraf-pd7mu I feel like browning food hasn’t always been quite as popular as it is now. Crust on stake wasn’t always a big talking point. When teflon was at it’s height of popularity I feel like a lot of people mainly focused on nonstick.
Sure, stainless is very useful. But it’s a bit unfair to say non-stick is limited: you CAN get *some* browning in a nonstick pan, even if it’s not to the level that a steak-crust-lover needs.
Watching them hammer the disk reminds me of hand hammered cymbals that I use
if they are from zildjian, chances are they have been manufactured in a workshop just a few streets away from soy‘s products.
@@Nina-nc5ds they're bosphorous
Nina Ludolphi actually in the very same building, Middle-Floor, Bridge section, was the actual workshop of Kerop Zilciyan a century ago.
@@Nina-nc5ds Yes, the best are Zildjian from what I've been told.
Thank you Alex!!!! I’m a chef in Las Vegas and I been looking for pots such as these, soon an very soon I will be order his products thank you sooooo much!!!!
that´s why I love this channel, Alex didn´t even bother going to Mauviel factory, the guy went to turkey to forge a saucepan
One day I'm gonna have one of these and cook some instant noodles.
Kraft Dinner all the way!
2:37 "It's a maze in an amazing place"
It's like looking at a Low-Poly Saucepan
I have such high appreciation for the work that they do and it's awesome that you gave them a chance to show the world their high level of care and craftsmanship in their products
That pan is a work of art. Like a sculpture.
I never thought these words would ever come out of my mouth but...that's a stunning saucepan.
Alex: Celsius?
Emir: CeLSiuS!!!!!
Nothing like paying once for something that's quality.
that's an amazing craftsmanship which is so precious to witness.
Give this guy a Netflix show already. He deserves 10x the viewers.
