I didn't know I needed this until now, but let's get a show that's just DeVonn & Brad talking about cookware (or literally anything). This interaction is unreasonably delightful.
A brad leone and Devonn “it’s alive” needs to happen seems like a really good contrasting relationship also the way devonn asks brads questions seems like he’s happy to learn aswell … love it
Devonn seems like he would do an it's alive series with Brad around toasted rice paired with pickled (insert x vegetable), and maybe a universal sweet sauce. Or sauce pairings matched to the veg! A full on how to create "your own" better takeout. Blanched asparagus tips, sauteed thai chilis and onions in takeout packet seasoning, seasoned rice (some crunch!), and crispy lamb shawarma. Sprinkle with toasted sesame and spritz of lime. Serve on a candy necklace
Like in all honesty...Brad Leone just brings Energy unlike any of the other host...this was especially cool him and Devonn we're really entertaining 👌🏻💯
I used to watch this channel religiously. Now I find it just not interesting. The only thing going for it is Brad and Chris. Really happy Carla and Molly have their own channels now.
@@supergimp2000 - im in the same boat, I used to watch it for the personalities. Even t hen I would skip over the FEW hosts I didnt like. Now Ill pretty much only check out a vid if Brad or Chris are on.
Brad just brings out the party with most of the other hosts. He and Devonn were great together because he also has a big personality, they should do more videos together. I also love Chris and Brad together too.
What Brad is describing with the wok and throwing the food up in the air is called “wok hay” which means the energy or breath of a wok, and it describes a certain flavor when authentic stir frying is done.
Regarding Zaynab's nonstick pan, I was curious how the pan was made without PTFE so I did some digging. "The 3-layer DuraSlide granite nonstick coating is 40 times more durable than traditional PTFE coatings" but they're careful not to say it doesn't have PTFE at all. Doing some research it looks like the company that makes DuraSlide describes it as "combining a specially applied thermal sprayed metal or ceramic with one of many PTFE-type materials." I'd put money on the fact that the pan actually uses PTFE. Luckily, Teflon/PTFE is considered safe as long as it's not heated to extreme temperatures, but it's worth calling it out since Zwilling seems to be very deliberate in their marketing of the product.
I have not encountered DeVonn before today. He's fabulous! So deft and secure in his technique, his flavors are on point and great fashion. Give this chef a series!
DeVonn. Brad. You've got all winter and spring to think about next summer's beach party. Brad brings his outdoor game. DeVonn brings his food-as-human-connection game. And both of you bring your cooking games (obviously). Please begin marinating on this now. We need this.
The one problem is the risk of chipping. You spend up to a few hundred and then it gets chipped. Carbon and cast iron are cheaper, cook as well, and are lower risk. And if you botch the seasoning or allow it to rust, it's recoverable. BTW, the best ever is silver. Cost a king's ransom though. You may get lucky at an estate sale and find a pan that was misidentified as stainless steel.
It's the same as cast iron except the outside. NEVER soak a cast iron pan it ruins the seasoning after a few hours. Self-cleaning oven helps to remove the old seasoning.
I think in terms of cooking (besides baking) the wok is really *the* multipurpose tool. It can be used to deep fry, sear meat, stir fry, boil soups, cover it up to use as a smoker or even become a steamer if you throw on a bamboo steamer on top of water in the wok.
I have the last cast iron skillet and oh my i get the best crispy dosa on it. Just comes out so perfect🥰 Also great for parathas, tawa bhaji, potato tikkis, basically goes perfect with Indian Street food cuisine
I don't know about pans, but my favorite pot is a very vintage aluminum Wear Ever I got at a garage sale for like $2 in the early 90s. It's my rice pot, my pasta pot, my heat up soup pot, my everything pot really. I find myself reaching for it over and over and over on almost a daily basis
I use a wok for just about everything. Shape uses less oil and there is just enough surface at the bottom that you can still make things like burger patties or steaks for a single or two people. Easily my go to and do it all pan.
I feel like a lot of the newer video hosts have been pretty great. I’ll watch anything with DeVonn or Kendra, Brad is still great, and I don’t really think anyone is all that difficult to watch
I have never related so much to the small cast iron thing. but it’s so true. the 12in pan i have is rarely because it’s just so much stuff and i’m one person
I’d love to hear what you use your for. I’m usually cooking for two and make enough for another day, so 4 portions. I can’t imagine cooking anything in such a small pan. Maybe some sweet treats like they mentioned, but no meals
I feel oddly vindicated to share two favorite pans with the hosts. Ines and I share a favorite pan, for the same reasons! I have a near identical cast iron griddle pan to hers and everything good she said is 100% true. I use it several times a week. My little 6" cast iron skillet like Kendra's is a close second, it's such a perfect pan for every day cooking.
The only time that I went camping (not counting my stint in the army) no cooking vessels were brought but loads of alcohol and drugs were. I’m told that I had a good time but I’ve no memory of the night past about 10PM
Envious that of an excuse to get a backup favorite pan for the presentation part! I wonder if that would've overridden my honest choice or if I would have tried to get the most value out of the expense account, lol 😅
I know this isn't involving the video but I have been dying to find a recipe for the discontinued rice krispies treats cereal and I think it would be a cool video idea if you could make a version similar to the og cereal
I love enameled cast iron, but I want a light enamel inside. If it's black or dark inside it can be difficult to tell where your protein is color wise when searing it in a dark pan.
I own the Le Creuset Enameled Cast Iron Pan. Eggs will stick! If you have a medium low heat, enough fat/oil and you are scrambling the eggs or (you have medium high heat and you are making egg fried rice) it is OK. But it is not in the same league as seasoned cast iron or non stick pans in the eggs department. For everything else it is at par or better than regular cast iron. As it should - it costs 3-6 times more (if you find it on sale it is 3-4 time the price of regular cast iron)
would've been unnecessary. there are only a few categories (cast iron, carbon steel, non-stick, other) and the "rules" for them are well-known and easy to find

Gotta love their energy
Could not agree more…how game devonn was to start a casuela line for brad ❤️
100% you’re onto a winner
DeVonn: "I haven't been invited to this beach party..."
Brad (without skipping a beat)::"Play your cards right, DeVonn!"
Lol!
i think DeVonn and Brad are like a super combi! please make more videos with them together!!!

"Cast irons take a little love, but the best of us do". Ines out here spewing hard facts.
DeVonn and Brad match each other's energy very well. I would love to see more 🥰

Yeah, yeah. We all watch Uncle Roger. We know what wok hay is, nephew Ryland.
This Ines is brilliant! Personable, really clear explanations and good additional tidbits of info in her commentary.
Hearing the "Who's better than us" made me miss Vinnie a little, but I also want a show where Brad says it to DeVonn all the time.

Unfortunately seems like even a pro chef got tricked then ended up providing a dangerous recommendation.
Need a Brad and DeVonn beach/outside cooking episode
Everyone’s pan choices are so spot on with their personalities! 😆
I can't believe I've been sleeping on this DeVonn/Brad combo this whole time.
All these pairings are so good, We need more Band + Devon Content! Bring Devon on an "It's Alive" Episode please

Two thumbs up for enameled cast iron. Best cookware ever.
It's not really nonstick as they claim tho, unless you use a ton of oil or it's a special kind of coating
The one problem is the risk of chipping. You spend up to a few hundred and then it gets chipped. Carbon and cast iron are cheaper, cook as well, and are lower risk. And if you botch the seasoning or allow it to rust, it's recoverable.
BTW, the best ever is silver. Cost a king's ransom though. You may get lucky at an estate sale and find a pan that was misidentified as stainless steel.
It's the same as cast iron except the outside. NEVER soak a cast iron pan it ruins the seasoning after a few hours. Self-cleaning oven helps to remove the old seasoning.
Enamled cookware is awful.
the enameled cast iron seems like something I should try.
I want to see more Devonn & Brad… so good 🥰

Love a small cast iron BUT a small carbon steel pan has won me over… wanting Madura plus now too
Love these recommendations. ::adds them all to Christmas wishlist::
DeVonn + Brad is the beautiful combo I didn’t know I needed until it happened
This is actually super interesting and all of these people have such interesting things to say. Problem is now I want all of these...
Give Inés more screen time!! What a gem
That SLAB-O-BUTTER she threw down for the pancakes got me felling some kinda way. 🤤
I have an enamel cast iron pan like that last one. Le creuset crepe pan. A lot more versatile than one would think!
I don't know about pans, but my favorite pot is a very vintage aluminum Wear Ever I got at a garage sale for like $2 in the early 90s. It's my rice pot, my pasta pot, my heat up soup pot, my everything pot really. I find myself reaching for it over and over and over on almost a daily basis
I've got this enameled cast iron griddle pan and it's THE BEST. I love it. I'm with Ines here
I use a wok for just about everything. Shape uses less oil and there is just enough surface at the bottom that you can still make things like burger patties or steaks for a single or two people. Easily my go to and do it all pan.
Jumping on the "More Brad + DeVonn" train. Please & thank you.
I know there is hours of cut footage somewhere of Brad and Devon talking about charmed
I feel like a lot of the newer video hosts have been pretty great. I’ll watch anything with DeVonn or Kendra, Brad is still great, and I don’t really think anyone is all that difficult to watch
This mf watches cooking video based on who is telling the recipe 💀💀
@@JBlizzyFan This is a video about pans dude
I saw the small wonk is amazing very amazedd great handle to put a good food like bean zesty tortillas rolled in egg
I didn’t realize how much my soul needs DeVonn and Brad together… another great combo would be Ines and DeVonn 🤯
DeVonn and Brad are awesome!
Zaynab “ ya, ya ya yaa , o yah, ya, ye, oh yeh” good input
8 inches is miniature? 🤯 Jeez.
It is to me.
Well played
That pan looks a good 20 inch to me
Personally I consider a single meal pan or appetizer pan to be miniature.
I’d settle for 3 inches 😢
I’m here to confess I’m obsessed with bon appetit
I absolutely want to see more of DeVonn, him and Brad had me😂
In my family we had the pan that Ines prefers, it was mainly for making Swedish pancakes.
My Mum bought me a great pan a few years ago. It's like a deep sided frying pan, very heavy. Circulon brand I think.
Oh, that’s the made in wok that I think Brad is using. I have one too and it’s really nice.
my mother in law has a shallow cast iron griddle pan like this and i am always on the hunt for a similar one!!!!
Where have you all been hiding Ines?! Need more of her!
obsessed with Rachel's dress!!
I have never related so much to the small cast iron thing. but it’s so true. the 12in pan i have is rarely because it’s just so much stuff and i’m one person
I’d love to hear what you use your for. I’m usually cooking for two and make enough for another day, so 4 portions. I can’t imagine cooking anything in such a small pan. Maybe some sweet treats like they mentioned, but no meals
@@GrahamWalters_ i have a 6 inch and cook for 1 and it's perfect. i love it a lot.

Between my cast iron griddle, Dutch oven and wok I really don’t use any other pans for most of my cooking.
Loving Devonn and brad together
Brad just discoverd Gambas al ajillo and I love it
Inés just has like pure cooking wisdom
Ines is so well spoken and intelligent. She was definitely the star of this video!
Yes! I adore her!
“Upsize down” - Brad. I’d wear a sweatshirt with that. Lol
I have the same pan as Inés and use it to do pancakes but also makes a great omelet
Inés!!! I’ve need your pancakes in my life
My comal griddle pan is another favorite ❤️
"A predicament I find myself in often!" I don't know why but I totally lost it at that comment :D
DeVonnn and Brad have good chemistry. BA stop testing pairs now you found the jackpot.
great. now i have two pans on my wishlist
Tossing also creates the wok hay, which helps cooking, so it's not only for mixing
Exactly, wok hei, or literally, breath of the wok, imparts a flavour and cooks in the hot air passing the pan...
The only time that I went camping (not counting my stint in the army) no cooking vessels were brought but loads of alcohol and drugs were. I’m told that I had a good time but I’ve no memory of the night past about 10PM
Envious that of an excuse to get a backup favorite pan for the presentation part! I wonder if that would've overridden my honest choice or if I would have tried to get the most value out of the expense account, lol 😅
where has Brad been? need more of It's Alive ! hope it's not dead lol
talking about the 8" pan made me so confident.
I know this is a cooking show, but DeVonn is such a beautiful man...
I know this isn't involving the video but I have been dying to find a recipe for the discontinued rice krispies treats cereal and I think it would be a cool video idea if you could make a version similar to the og cereal
Loving the diversity BA! 🫶🏽
this new cast may just make me start watching consistently again lmao
yeah i have no idea what came over me but i am checking out the BA vids again. Brad is still a golden retriever :)
Thank you I'm looking for an everyday pan.
Kendra is spot on with the "mini" cast iron.
Grab yerself 1/2 of them and you will understand how much you needed one and didnt know.
That red and white top he's wearing looks great on him.
Cast Irons take a little love, but the best of us do 😭🙏🙏🙏
I tried all kind of pans and Hard-Nitriding Cast Iron ones are the best, no contest. Get your self one.
I love enameled cast iron, but I want a light enamel inside. If it's black or dark inside it can be difficult to tell where your protein is color wise when searing it in a dark pan.
What brand was the 8” cast iron? The sides are much higher than lodge.
My 8” cast iron is my favorite ❤️
The charmed reference made my day
DeVonn! I want that top. You’re gorgeous.
I own the Le Creuset Enameled Cast Iron Pan.
Eggs will stick!
If you have a medium low heat, enough fat/oil and you are scrambling the eggs or (you have medium high heat and you are making egg fried rice) it is OK. But it is not in the same league as seasoned cast iron or non stick pans in the eggs department.
For everything else it is at par or better than regular cast iron.
As it should - it costs 3-6 times more (if you find it on sale it is 3-4 time the price of regular cast iron)
Kendra gave too many examples, loved it
they really sold me on that nonstick one
it would be really cool guys if you put links to each of the pans shown in the video so we can get them too
Brad rocking the show-tested super faded Steal Your Base T: A++
wait.... DeVonn's outfit is so cute.....
DeVonn;s shirt is dope
A wok can be a shield a weapon a paddle a cooking utensil or even armor
name brands for the chosen... love the enamal one Rachel picked
Anyone know what that cool crochet looking shirt Devonn is wearing is called? I want one.
Big cast irons are a gift and a curse
I love Ines!
Brad... I love you.
I'm not one to butter shame, but at 13:07 that's 3.5 Tbsps for one pancake!
Who makes just one pancake? I bet more were made and consumed off camera.
I thought it was a whole stick... that butter to pancake ratio is off!
we NEED DeVonn on an episode of its ALIVE!!! Actually we need a whole series of the Brad and DeVonn show
How big is that Cazuela dish DeVonn and Brad are using? I need. 😀
13:09 Ya girl got BARS
Are we going to talk about DeVonn's shirt? Where did you get today thing homie?
It wouldve been cool if they talked bout how to clean/take care of their pan
And then been a 40 minute video ? Some people have jobs and families
