Hi guys! I hope you enjoy this review of my favorite cookware. I'd love to hear what cookware you use the most and why you love it (I love finding new brands!). All of the pieces I mentioned are linked on the full blog post, linked in the description box. Add them to your shopping cart now for Black Friday and Cyber Monday! ;) xo - Lisa
@@pegblount656 Scanpan is PTFE non-stick cookware. The marketing lingo they use is STRATANIUM+. But it's still PTFE non-stick (PFOA-Free as all PTFE pans now are).
I agree totally about the All Clad ... I purchased a set of All Clad over 30 years ago and have added some to it over the years. I know it will last the rest of my life and probably the life of my daughter after me. I would like to add that for those who do not have the $$ or want to spend the $$ for the enameled cast iron brands you mention, I have enameled cast iron from Lodge and it has held up wonderfully at less than half the price of the others. I also love my regular cast iron ... my favorite piece being a skillet that belonged to my mother and is over 70 years old now. It's a joy to cook with.
Great video, Lisa. Thank you! I bought my All-Clad because of you, and I am a much better cook!😉 I absolutely love it, and it took me 30 years to realize..”Buy quality even if expensive from the get-go!” I’ve had SO many pots and pans over the years including Calphalon, and none compare. Plus, they scratch and stick. Your thoughtful care in analyzing medical aspects is right up my alley. You are the best!! My only thing to add is that if you ever go to a Princess House Crystal Party, the Fantasia glass cookware is excellent! I’ve used it for 28 years and it’s still going strong.
My sister has all clad and with that straight side they are so hard to pour out of. I have had cuisinart stainless pans that I bought individually - all at one time when I got married. Bought 1.5qt upto 12qt stockpot all w lids and they have held up amazingly well. No warping - nothing and they are really well balanced and the curved lip makes life so much easier to pour out everything from chai to browned meats or stews. They are also about half the cost. My 2 cents after using both brands. Love your channel
I have owned a set of these for over 28 years. They are great. But the frying pan sticks. Do you know how to stop that? I never seasoned them & I honestly don't know how or if you need to season stainless steel. Thank you.
Ok now you're just reading my mind!! Was just at home goods yesterday scratching my head wondering which pans were safe. Exhausted at the thought of googling all of this info, so Thanks for all that you covered and all you continue to do for us
Your recommendations are spot on! Cuisinart has great, lower-cost clad stainless steel for those who don’t want to drop serious coin on All Clad. Also, I have been loving my new carbon steel pan.
I invested in a set of KitchenCraft years ago, haven’t regretted it but they make All Clad look like a bargain. Look into carbon steel as well. Love my lodge skillets and can be had for 40 bucks. DeBuyer also excellent. Non stick I use Volrath CeramiGuard. I use no nonsense restaurant equipment for utensils, primarily Volrath or Dexter Russell and a set of wood utensils from World Market.
Girl!!!!! So timely! Love every recommendation you put out there definitely looking into some all clad and building up. I got a ceramic set from them and now I wish I had done a little more research and gone with stainless steel 😭😭
@@MikyMiguel777 usually with my pans, i heat them up, then put some oil or butters around the bottom. They seems to suck up moisture really quickly, so if i dont follow that sequence, then my food sticks.
@@MikyMiguel777 No, I have All-Clad stainless steel heat up empty pan or pot on medium to low heat and then add 1 tablespoon of butter or oil and coat it all over and it works fine. I cook eggs like that on them and they do not stick. Easy to cook and easy to clean. You can get them on sale toward the end of January on one day sale for 7-pc set for less than $300 at Bloomingdale online.
Which pan is better to cook eggs and such in: all clad or a coated cast iron? Is there a reason you use stainless steel pan instead of the coated iron? Someone told me calphalon 18/10 is as good as all clad, what do you think? Thank you!
LOVE my All Clad! I made my own set based on what I needed. I've had it for over 15 years now and still looking and cooking great. I will get those bamboo spoons/spatulas soon. Thank you, Lisa, for all you do!
Wow I was so shocked but happy when I heard you say All Clad because My nephew just sent me a 10 pc set of from Williams and Sonoma it cost more than my mortgage 😂 I was so excited to receive this blessed gift & I can’t wait to use them, I’m waiting on my new double oven range to be delivered then I’ll use them. Thanks for sharing
I am a big supporter of Wolfgang Puck...I do have his Stainless steal cookware and several of his kitchen gadgets...I recently ordered his Plasma non-stick pans on HSN...that have no PFOA...and they have a lifetime warranty...he swears by stainless steel..but customer's requested it... so he found someone to make it to fit his standards...thank you for the wonderful review...and the knowledge you pass on especially to younger people is invaluable... I am a new subscriber...😊
Lisa, Thanks for a great review! My All-Clad is 20 years old "LTD" and some newer SS. I collected special pieces they no longer make such as the windsor pan. I love my collection of Staub for when as a New Mexican, cook red or green chile dishes! My plain CI dates from the 1800's and for ward, including new Lodge black lock- and Lodge did let me know on of my older Lodge is a black lock foundry era pan...Love your recipes as well.
My rule is NO NON-STICK COOKWARE. People have just gotten lazier. Why take the risk? Thanks for that round up. I just found your channel and love the vibe and very high quality production values in your videos.
I love my saladmaster stainless steel. And i have the whole set, by buying each piece at differant times at the thrift store. The highest I paid for one pan was $12.00. The lowest price was $3.00. That is the best part. I love your videos.
Saladmaster is the best stainless steel cookware I know of. It's guaranteed for life and they stand behind their guarantee. I have 2 sets, one that I bought new for $1600 about 12 years ago and one that's over 40 years old that I bought at an estate auction for $60 a few years later.
TheBigpapax30 Wolfgang Puck stainless steel is an excellent alternative and is just durable and high quality. I’ve had my set for 15 years and it looks new. Also, Lodge makes excellent alternatives to Le Creuset. You too can have amazing cookware. I love all of my pieces and they’re lifetime purchases on a budget ✅💯
I watched the video when it went up and have been studying all week. I've been thinking about replacing my cookware for a while. Thank you for motivating me to move this up on my list of priorities!
I only use cast iron and stainless steel as well. I purchased my All-Clad 10 years ago when my husband and I got married. They are holding up perfectly. And of course cast iron never wears out. My Le Creuset Dutch Oven is amazing!!! I love all my pieces and good kitchenware is a great lifetime investment. Well worth saving up to get great products.
Saladmaster. Is my favorite... Lifetime warranty and no chemical reactions on our food that retains 93 percent of nutrients. 316 ti is being use the highest grade os titanium
Thanks for this video!!! I used to have and loved my nonstick pans (I had 2) but I got rid of them years ago! I watched you making fresh tortillas on the nonstick pan as a demo but I make my tortillas on my cast iron comal (or skillet) and they come out great! I also use my stainless steel Cuisinart pans for my eggs and everything- way to use almost mine non-stick just using a bit of oil. I got a 20-piece set of Cuisinart pots & pans from my husband as a wedding gift 20 years ago and they are still going strong!!! (& they come with a lifetime warranty!… can’t beat that!!!)
I bought an All Clad pan 1 or 2 years ago but I had so much trouble cleaning it that I never used it much. Now I am using the Always pan, which I LOVE.
6:30 You can get non-stick pans now that are totally safe, can be used with metal utensils and will last you as long as a stainless-steel pan! :-) Try to take a look at the cheapest version, the onyx stainless-steel pans, only downside to them is that you do still have to keep them at a maximum of medium heat, and you have to heat them slowly.
Hi, I recently bought a premium stainless steel cookware set after being inspired from this video and got rid of cheap non-stick ones. Although mine is not All-Clad, it is very nice stainless steel cookware from a relatively newer company. I started using it and notice that after every dish, the bottom of the pan or pot is stained and you can see where the food made contact with the pan. I use low-medium heat as suggested and preheat the pan before adding oil and cooking as well. I was wondering if you could share if your pans do the same and it just requires cleaning with some combination of vinegar or baking powder. Every time I use my pan I have to clean it either with baking soda or vinegar and I was wondering if that's normal and would that wear on the pan over time. I know that stainless steel is a bit more tricky to clean versus non-stick pans, but I haven't been able to clean the pot or pan without having to soak it in some sort of acidic solution to make the cookware look clean and shiny again. Are you able to just clean with soap and water with your All-Clad?
Thanks for the video. I tortured myself with endless "research" and landed on a combo of All-Clad D3 stainless (12" skillet), Cuisinart TriPly stainless (3.5 qt sauté pan), Tramotina triply stainless (3 qt sauce pan), Lodge (12" cast iron skillet), and OXO (10" non-stick), and Cook N Home stainless (8 qt stock pot). We'll see how it goes. I need to round it out with some smaller pans I'm realizing 🤦♂
You have taught me a great deal on loving cooking, and I gave away all my non stick pans and invested in all the steel clad and Le Creuset pots too! I am now looking at buying pure cast iron for frying etc.. Thank you for your videos, your passion and your wisdom.
That was very informative & helpful. I'm currently using nonstick cookware, but after listening to this video, I plan to transition over to stainless steel as I need to replace my current cookware. Thanks for all of the great information!!
My dear sister! Thank u so very much for explaining about all these products. I was waiting for a genuine review from some one, so that I can buy the best quality pots and pans. I have heard about All clad and lodge products. Ur review has helped me to decide which one to buy now! Surely I will go for Allclad and Lodge!😍👍God bless. Stay safe! Annalina from India!🤗🙏
Unfortunately i was gifted a “healthy” non stick set of pots and pans by my parents four years ago. I love how they perform but thinking about switching them one by one for stainless steel, without my parents notice🤫
I love your videos. You save me so much time on research. Based on all the videos I have watched I truly respect your suggestions to be honest and to be geared toward the best for your viewers
I’m curious why you think ceramic-coated cast iron is OK, but ceramic “non-stick” pans are not...? Wouldn’t they have the same issues with nano-particles?
The ceramic used for cast iron comes as 'frit' -- search it. Frit is fused at a very high heat during the bonding process. This makes the coating a one-piece sheath. This manufacturing step is totally different than that used for non-stick atop aluminum. The latter metal would melt like a river at the temperatures used to fuse frit. You'll also find frit used in many 'white goods' -- ie stoves, dishwashers -- which were traditionally retailed in a white color -- hence the nic-name.
... Just one point about wood utensils… I'm beginning to use a lot of bamboo… It's a great strong wood... Environmentally it replenishes at a tremendous rate… We will never run out of bamboo… And if possible I try to get bamboo products that are made in Japan/ my preference… You have a wonderful RUclips channel and do a very good job… God is good...
Love the work you do! Thank you for making my life easier. I have a gluten intolerant toddler and you make gluten free awesome and delicious. Thank you!!
1:23 if you can't afford the all-clad Cuisinart's clad pans are really great. My parents have all-clad and I haven't noticed any difference between the two. I also have Mauviel copper pans at my rental place, thought about switching them out in between tenants, but just left them there. I love y Cuisinart clad pans. And they're like a 3rd of the price of the All-Clad.
In the mid 50’s my Mom & aunts bought Seal O Matic cookware. I purchased mine in 66 after graduation from HS and definitely not a cook. My aunts set has been passed to my son-in-law, still like new. Moms set moved to our camper, and I am going to buy used on line for our grand kids.
I made a list of non stick pots and pans that I wanted and you convinced me to try stainless steel. I got a couple all-clad pieces for Christmas and I LOVE them! I also got cast iron griddle and it’s amazing. Both make food taste so much better when comparing to food made with nonstick cookware. I’m also so happy that these pots and pans will last a lifetime and I won’t need to replace as often as nonstick cookware. THANK YOU!
Unless you are a weightlifter, enameled and standard cast iron are difficult to work with. Go with the best and go with All-Clad and for a cheaper option, but almost the same, Tramontina. Tramontina also makes the best non-stick skillet for the $$ but All-Clad is slightly better but heavier.
I am very impressed how clean your stainless steel cookware is clean and looking nice even after years and years of using! Could you please share some tips, how you clean and take care of them? Thank you in advance!
I have Titanium Exclusive cookware and love it. It's non-stick but coated with titanium, not tephlon. Best to wash pans while they're still hot to maintain the finish.
Just found your channel yesterday and I’m ready to get healthy again can’t wait to try your recipes!! I’ve watched a few videos already and you make it very easy to follow along.
I have a small knife that comes from germany and can cut meat, bread and everything. although it looks small but very useful. anything its written down is made in germany is sure to be of good quality
Came across your page looking up all clad pans, and so excited to watch your other videos I instantly subscribed! Glad to be part of the group that pushes you from 999k to 1M!
Some good pots and pans that are non stick and non toxic are Caraway and Green Life because their ceramic and Green life is sold at Walmart for very cheap in case your wondering
If you decide to do an update on your favourite cookware, would you consider recommending sizes? I would absolutely love to buy a set of All-Clad cookware but I cannot afford it. I am older and do not have family to pass it down either. If I was younger, I certainly would consider purchasing All-Clad cookware even if it was a piece at a time. I love your content and happy to be a subscriber. Love from Canada.
I bought a Le Creuset pot this summer. It is amazing. Cooks so well. I also have a vintage wagner cast iron skillet and new and I’ve always loved it. Lodge is a fantastic current brand. I love lodges bread pans as well. Great tips.
I am slowly switching out my 15 year old set of Martha Stewart pots/pans for All Clad. I also have a 5.5 quart Le Creuset in Caribbean that I absolutely love.
P311 C heat the pan medium and wait roughly 2 minutes. Pour a small drop of water and wait to see if it evaporates immediately or it bounces around the pan. If it evaporates the pan has not heated enough try again in 30 seconds or so. Once it does hear then apply your oil and coat the pan. That should do it.
If you have All-Clad as your everyday cookware why do you not have their HA1 non stick skillet? I'm talking about the HA1 solid anodizes aluminum non stick with the induction plate, not their Essentials line. I have a seven piece set, all with lids that I bought when they first came out 5 years ago. I use them every day, two meals a day, seven days a week. They look like new and absolutely NOTHING sticks to them. They never go in the oven, I have a SS for that. and they never go in the dishwasher. Fastest way in the world to destroy your cookware and knives.
I never use metal cooking utensils in my cookware because it will damage the interior surfaces. I use silicone or wood exclusively. I own lots of cookware, both high-end and less pricey choices. My least favorites are All Clad and my collection of stainless because it requires an excessive amount of oil in order to have less sticking. Enameled cast iron, all brands, work equally well for me. I prefer le creuset because it's slightly lighter in weight which means that I'm less likely to have a heavy pot slip out of my grip during cleanup. My favorite all around choice is the Calphalon hard anodized cookware that has no nonstick coating. I'm not sure this type is available any longer - mine are from the 70s and I've kept them in excellent condition. I do use nonstick coated cast aluminum skillets, stock pots, and stew pots. The brand I like best is Carote. I'm careful not to overheat before adding food and only use silicone utensils during cooking, but I do the same with all of my cookware. Another favorite is cast iron. I have my grandmother's and my mom's old skillets and Dutch ovens. I allow all cookware to cool before washing in hot soapy water, cast iron, too, and drying well before storage. Cookware choices are best made depending on the style and types of foods you prepare. I live in south Louisiana Cajun region, and my cooking needs are completely different from most other regions. I started my cookware collection in 1970, and I'm still adding pieces. I really love cooking! ❤️
Hi :)) I have only just found your channel this evening and I am absolutely hooked. I live in the U.K. and wondered if the stainless steel pans you use are available here so I will check it out as it’s so difficult to find them here for some reason. Thank you for this video and sharing your meal prep on the other videos that I have watched so far it’s so helpful and the meal ideas are fantastic xxx thank you so much again
I totally agree... but why it happens that all stainless pot have i dont know the word... ill call them edges that also get heated like the rest of the pot? Couldnt they use other material like wood or plastic so you can lift it up and tranfer it safely? Also when you wanna see the progress or stir up the food its all over heated!!
FALK CULINAIR COPPER pans are the best pans in the world. I am a chef with 25 years experience. They are very pricey but you can pass them on from one generation to the next. They will literally outlive you. If you can't afford them, then just get All Clad as the nice woman in this video suggests. Boun Appetito!
I have a 'green' pan which was relatively expensive, and unfortunately just don't use it. Since getting carbon steel, I use very little else. I love the sizzle sound and the green pan just didn't have that
For years I've cooked with Teflon pots and pans because that's all I grew up with. I've discovered cast iron and stainless steel are much better alternatives and deliver far better results due to their ability to maintain heat. All of my Teflon is going in the trash. You can get cast iron at decent prices but it does take longer to heat; however, cast iron is heavy, and you have to warm it up on low before using on high heat to prevent warping. Stainless steel is expensive. A 12 inch stainless steel All Clad D3 pan is about $130 but think of it as an investment because it will last decades with proper care. There are other cheaper stainless steel brands but their price reflects the quality of construction. There are other videos that talk about All Clad versus other brands, so I'm staying with All Clad.

Pricey but I'd rather spend a little money now and have it last a lifetime vs going the cheap route and end up having it break or not last.🙂
I watched the video when it went up and have been studying all week. I've been thinking about replacing my cookware for a while. Thank you for motivating me to move this up on my list of priorities!
I never heard of All Clad until I saw this video. You are correct in the fact that it is QUITE expensive!
Wait until you check the price of the Dutch oven...
Worth EVERY penny...just be mindful about what you will use and you can obtain a great collection while not breaking the bank
This video couldn’t have been here at a better time. Was literally just looking for best cooking pans yesterday!
Awesome! Perfect timing then. :)

Hello from France 🇫🇷 @Downshiftology ! Love to watch your videos in this clean environment with fresh colors. You are among my favorite RUclipsrs.
Thanks so much Francois! I'm so happy you enjoyed the video!
Thank you!! I have used Lodge pans for years. Downside for me is their weight! Will definitely check out Crate and Barrell utensils!
Lodge is great! But yes, they are a bit heavy. Definitely check out those utensils, they've got the best balanced feel in the hand as well.
Cheryl Lehman For lighter alternative cast iron , check out Stargazer and Field cast iron . Both are made in the US and are much lighter than Lodge .
I bought an All Clad pan 1 or 2 years ago but I had so much trouble cleaning it that I never used it much. Now I am using the Always pan, which I LOVE.
This was a great video I've learned a lot! Can you do a video on plates, bowls & fork/spoon
Thanks so much Ivana! I'm glad you loved it. And I'll make a note of that for a future video. :)
6:30 You can get non-stick pans now that are totally safe, can be used with metal utensils and will last you as long as a stainless-steel pan! :-) Try to take a look at the cheapest version, the onyx stainless-steel pans, only downside to them is that you do still have to keep them at a maximum of medium heat, and you have to heat them slowly.
This is exactly what I need!!! Clicked thumbs-up before even started watching!!!! Thank you.
Yay, thanks so much Angie! I hope you love the video! :) x
@@Downshiftology Wow thanks for sharing your concerns about non-stick pans. I'm gonna get some new stainless-steel pans instead.
Angie Shen meeee toooo! I lovee here!
Perfect! That's a wise choice.
Thank you!!! Good looking out. I’m totally All-Clad & le Creuset fan ❤️
Hi, I recently bought a premium stainless steel cookware set after being inspired from this video and got rid of cheap non-stick ones. Although mine is not All-Clad, it is very nice stainless steel cookware from a relatively newer company. I started using it and notice that after every dish, the bottom of the pan or pot is stained and you can see where the food made contact with the pan. I use low-medium heat as suggested and preheat the pan before adding oil and cooking as well. I was wondering if you could share if your pans do the same and it just requires cleaning with some combination of vinegar or baking powder. Every time I use my pan I have to clean it either with baking soda or vinegar and I was wondering if that's normal and would that wear on the pan over time. I know that stainless steel is a bit more tricky to clean versus non-stick pans, but I haven't been able to clean the pot or pan without having to soak it in some sort of acidic solution to make the cookware look clean and shiny again. Are you able to just clean with soap and water with your All-Clad?
wow!
Stumble across your video and feel in love. I love purchasing kitchen cookware and utensils. I've learned quite a lot. Thanks
Really informative video, love all your pots and pans. you’re absolutely right they all have a place and a time to use.
Thank you 😊
Omg, I’m so happy I accidentally watched your video and got hooked!!! I’m so ready to lighten up my kitchen!!! So thanks for your tutorials!!! 🔥
Wonderful! Can't wait for you to start fresh 😊
love love love! I'm only 25 but this is right up my alley. Functional and practical gifts are the best! (:
Yes, agree!
Thanks for the video. I tortured myself with endless "research" and landed on a combo of All-Clad D3 stainless (12" skillet), Cuisinart TriPly stainless (3.5 qt sauté pan), Tramotina triply stainless (3 qt sauce pan), Lodge (12" cast iron skillet), and OXO (10" non-stick), and Cook N Home stainless (8 qt stock pot). We'll see how it goes. I need to round it out with some smaller pans I'm realizing 🤦♂
You have taught me a great deal on loving cooking, and I gave away all my non stick pans and invested in all the steel clad and Le Creuset pots too! I am now looking at buying pure cast iron for frying etc.. Thank you for your videos, your passion and your wisdom.
That's great that you've switched from non-stick to All Clad and Le Creuset. Well done!
That was very informative & helpful. I'm currently using nonstick cookware, but after listening to this video, I plan to transition over to stainless steel as I need to replace my current cookware. Thanks for all of the great information!!
You're welcome Lynn! Switching to stainless is a smart idea. :)
Same!
My dear sister! Thank u so very much for explaining about all these products. I was waiting for a genuine review from some one, so that I can buy the best quality pots and pans. I have heard about All clad and lodge products. Ur review has helped me to decide which one to buy now! Surely I will go for Allclad and Lodge!😍👍God bless. Stay safe! Annalina from India!🤗🙏
Unfortunately i was gifted a “healthy” non stick set of pots and pans by my parents four years ago. I love how they perform but thinking about switching them one by one for stainless steel, without my parents notice🤫
Hahah! These All Clad ones definitely won't fail! 😊
ill pay you to ship them to me man, they're working perfectly if you wanna give up on them
Good decision.
Nonstick usually doesn’t last four years anyways so I doubt your parents would be put off
I love your videos. You save me so much time on research. Based on all the videos I have watched I truly respect your suggestions to be honest and to be geared toward the best for your viewers
I am so glad to hear that Debbie 😊I hope this video helps when you are buying your next set of cookware!
FYI, the Le Creuset enamel tests a bit high on lead content. Staub scores much better on that, and Lodge Dutch ovens are an even healthier choice.
I recently bought a new made in carbon steel for $20 at a thrift shop. So excited! I will slowly start buying pots that last a lifetime
I’m curious why you think ceramic-coated cast iron is OK, but ceramic “non-stick” pans are not...? Wouldn’t they have the same issues with nano-particles?
The ceramic used for cast iron comes as 'frit' -- search it. Frit is fused at a very high heat during the bonding process. This makes the coating a one-piece sheath.
This manufacturing step is totally different than that used for non-stick atop aluminum. The latter metal would melt like a river at the temperatures used to fuse frit.
You'll also find frit used in many 'white goods' -- ie stoves, dishwashers -- which were traditionally retailed in a white color -- hence the nic-name.
... Just one point about wood utensils… I'm beginning to use a lot of bamboo… It's a great strong wood... Environmentally it replenishes at a tremendous rate… We will never run out of bamboo… And if possible I try to get bamboo products that are made in Japan/ my preference… You have a wonderful RUclips channel and do a very good job… God is good...
Love the work you do! Thank you for making my life easier. I have a gluten intolerant toddler and you make gluten free awesome and delicious. Thank you!!
Thanks so much! I'm happy you love my recipes and videos. Hopefully they'll be helpful with your little one. ❤️
Yeah you're right i'am also intolerant to gluten and she really helped me a lot with her different gluten free recipes 😊 so i'm grateful to her
1:23 if you can't afford the all-clad Cuisinart's clad pans are really great. My parents have all-clad and I haven't noticed any difference between the two. I also have Mauviel copper pans at my rental place, thought about switching them out in between tenants, but just left them there. I love y Cuisinart clad pans. And they're like a 3rd of the price of the All-Clad.
In the mid 50’s my Mom & aunts bought Seal O Matic cookware. I purchased mine in 66 after graduation from HS and definitely not a cook. My aunts set has been passed to my son-in-law, still like new. Moms set moved to our camper, and I am going to buy used on line for our grand kids.
Can you review the Always Pan by Our Place? That would be phenomenal :)
I made a list of non stick pots and pans that I wanted and you convinced me to try stainless steel. I got a couple all-clad pieces for Christmas and I LOVE them! I also got cast iron griddle and it’s amazing. Both make food taste so much better when comparing to food made with nonstick cookware. I’m also so happy that these pots and pans will last a lifetime and I won’t need to replace as often as nonstick cookware. THANK YOU!
Would love a similar video on your knife collection as well!
yeees
I would like to suggest using oven cleaner to remove the gunk buildup around rivets.
I just love you! You’re so smart and I could listen to you forever lol
You're so sweet. Thank you!
Unless you are a weightlifter, enameled and standard cast iron are difficult to work with. Go with the best and go with All-Clad and for a cheaper option, but almost the same, Tramontina. Tramontina also makes the best non-stick skillet for the $$ but All-Clad is slightly better but heavier.
You always make sense Liza! Love from the Philippines 😍😘
Thanks Ann 😊
Thanks for your advice. I started to buy All-Clad stainless steel pans for my daughter's wedding.
The video I did not know I needed. Thank you!
I am very impressed how clean your stainless steel cookware is clean and looking nice even after years and years of using! Could you please share some tips, how you clean and take care of them? Thank you in advance!
I buy all my good stainless steel pans from Marshall’s TJ MAXX OR HOMEGOODS STORES!
I use nonstick because the other pans are difficult for me to use and I burn food typically :( please do a video on how to cook with the other pans
Many of these brands I aodre but some I haven't heard of, I'll have to try them!
I have Titanium Exclusive cookware and love it. It's non-stick but coated with titanium, not tephlon. Best to wash pans while they're still hot to maintain the finish.
Such a helpful, well-presented video, as always! Thank you!
Thanks so much Lexi! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Just found your channel yesterday and I’m ready to get healthy again can’t wait to try your recipes!! I’ve watched a few videos already and you make it very easy to follow along.
Wonderful! I'm happy you're loving my recipes. Welcome to the community Christine!
Please and thank you, would like your recommendations on kitchen knives
+1
Buy german grade stainless steel.
I have a small knife that comes from germany and can cut meat, bread and everything. although it looks small but very useful. anything its written down is made in germany is sure to be of good quality
Came across your page looking up all clad pans, and so excited to watch your other videos I instantly subscribed! Glad to be part of the group that pushes you from 999k to 1M!
Welcome to the Downshiftology community 😊
I was so proud of my new Calphalon set. 😅😳
Some good pots and pans that are non stick and non toxic are Caraway and Green Life because their ceramic and Green life is sold at Walmart for very cheap in case your wondering
New subscriber after watching your meal prep video. I love how genuine you are
I love my All-clad set too. I’ve had it almost 20 years.
You and I both! 😊
If you decide to do an update on your favourite cookware, would you consider recommending sizes? I would absolutely love to buy a set of All-Clad cookware but I cannot afford it. I am older and do not have family to pass it down either. If I was younger, I certainly would consider purchasing All-Clad cookware even if it was a piece at a time. I love your content and happy to be a subscriber. Love from Canada.
Thank you for sharing💕I’ve been looking for a nice cookware set❤️
You definitely can't go wrong with All Clad - it's the best!
I can't like your channel enough. Great knowledge and really informative. Thank you for the time and effort you put into your videos 😍
So happy to hear that 😊
I want to switch out my Teflon type pans and want to buy a good set. This was a great review! Thank you!
I bought a Le Creuset pot this summer. It is amazing. Cooks so well. I also have a vintage wagner cast iron skillet and new and I’ve always loved it. Lodge is a fantastic current brand. I love lodges bread pans as well. Great tips.
thank you thank you for making videos I love his videos and I enjoy to watching to his videos and god bless.
I am slowly switching out my 15 year old set of Martha Stewart pots/pans for All Clad. I also have a 5.5 quart Le Creuset in Caribbean that I absolutely love.
That Caribbean color is beautiful!
Can you tell us how you fried that perfect egg with All-Clad?
Mine always turns out burnt or sticks to the pan
P311 C heat the pan medium and wait roughly 2 minutes. Pour a small drop of water and wait to see if it evaporates immediately or it bounces around the pan. If it evaporates the pan has not heated enough try again in 30 seconds or so. Once it does hear then apply your oil and coat the pan. That should do it.
If you have All-Clad as your everyday cookware why do you not have their HA1 non stick skillet? I'm talking about the HA1 solid anodizes aluminum non stick with the induction plate, not their Essentials line. I have a seven piece set, all with lids that I bought when they first came out 5 years ago. I use them every day, two meals a day, seven days a week. They look like new and absolutely NOTHING sticks to them. They never go in the oven, I have a SS for that. and they never go in the dishwasher. Fastest way in the world to destroy your cookware and knives.
I never use metal cooking utensils in my cookware because it will damage the interior surfaces. I use silicone or wood exclusively. I own lots of cookware, both high-end and less pricey choices. My least favorites are All Clad and my collection of stainless because it requires an excessive amount of oil in order to have less sticking. Enameled cast iron, all brands, work equally well for me. I prefer le creuset because it's slightly lighter in weight which means that I'm less likely to have a heavy pot slip out of my grip during cleanup. My favorite all around choice is the Calphalon hard anodized cookware that has no nonstick coating. I'm not sure this type is available any longer - mine are from the 70s and I've kept them in excellent condition. I do use nonstick coated cast aluminum skillets, stock pots, and stew pots. The brand I like best is Carote. I'm careful not to overheat before adding food and only use silicone utensils during cooking, but I do the same with all of my cookware. Another favorite is cast iron. I have my grandmother's and my mom's old skillets and Dutch ovens.
I allow all cookware to cool before washing in hot soapy water, cast iron, too, and drying well before storage.
Cookware choices are best made depending on the style and types of foods you prepare. I live in south Louisiana Cajun region, and my cooking needs are completely different from most other regions. I started my cookware collection in 1970, and I'm still adding pieces. I really love cooking! ❤️
Could you please do a video on your cleaning routine!? I just got this set & am struggling with eggs / reheating meal prepped items. Thank you!!
Hi :)) I have only just found your channel this evening and I am absolutely hooked. I live in the U.K. and wondered if the stainless steel pans you use are available here so I will check it out as it’s so difficult to find them here for some reason. Thank you for this video and sharing your meal prep on the other videos that I have watched so far it’s so helpful and the meal ideas are fantastic xxx thank you so much again
What are your thoughts on the copper (orange) pans that are popular right now?
Can You please à vídeo about Air fryer recipes !!???
I'll add it to my list. :)
Thankssssssss 🎉💕💕💕
You really are a breath of fresh air! Loving your channel
Thanks so much Jeanette 😊
You forgot to mention Demeyere Proline pans, those are the best ik the world ones and stick less then all clad
I totally agree... but why it happens that all stainless pot have i dont know the word... ill call them edges that also get heated like the rest of the pot? Couldnt they use other material like wood or plastic so you can lift it up and tranfer it safely? Also when you wanna see the progress or stir up the food its all over heated!!
He who has health, has hope and he who has hope, has everything.
✨✨
No pun intended, I certainly agree🤓
I have a 10 piece d5, 4qt and 13 qt staub pots, and a large set of shun premier knives. Hope they all last a lifetime.
FALK CULINAIR COPPER pans are the best pans in the world. I am a chef with 25 years experience. They are very pricey but you can pass them on from one generation to the next. They will literally outlive you. If you can't afford them, then just get All Clad as the nice woman in this video suggests. Boun Appetito!
I have a 'green' pan which was relatively expensive, and unfortunately just don't use it. Since getting carbon steel, I use very little else. I love the sizzle sound and the green pan just didn't have that
Everything sticks to the stainless steel for me😭😭😭
To me the same.
Check out the RUclips videos on cooking with stainless steel. There are great videos out there with a lot of guidance.
There are definitely some tips for cooking with stainless. Maybe I'll try to do another video on that in the future. :)
Nope, heating the pan fully, coating it, having it on medium and letting it the food cook until it created a crust still doesn’t fix it.
@@Downshiftology it would be great
For years I've cooked with Teflon pots and pans because that's all I grew up with. I've discovered cast iron and stainless steel are much better alternatives and deliver far better results due to their ability to maintain heat. All of my Teflon is going in the trash. You can get cast iron at decent prices but it does take longer to heat; however, cast iron is heavy, and you have to warm it up on low before using on high heat to prevent warping. Stainless steel is expensive. A 12 inch stainless steel All Clad D3 pan is about $130 but think of it as an investment because it will last decades with proper care. There are other cheaper stainless steel brands but their price reflects the quality of construction. There are other videos that talk about All Clad versus other brands, so I'm staying with All Clad.
So helpful love it!Can you please do a video on how to correctly season cast iron thanks.
Thanks for honest non sponsored video
