There's a couple reviews online. About a guy whose head won for a year and a half and two years. He also has a seasoning video on how to keep it going good. And he doesn't have hundreds of pans. So you know he uses those. Backyard chickens and outdoors Can't remember his name
I love these followup videos. It's great to see how these products hold up over time rather than just initially. Makes me want a granite rock pan myself!
I've had a granite rock pan for over a year now. I remember watching your review a year ago and can't remember if I bought it before or after the review, but it was around the same time. I also had the blue diamond before it, which the blue diamond I thought was really good when I got it but didn't last long as one time stuff got stuck to it and it never recovered. The granite rock is the best pan I've ever used, I've absolutely abused mine, seasoned it and used metal utensils on it, cut things on it, put it in the oven, actually burned my hand twice on the handle after taking it out of the oven and forgetting it was still hot, probably used it at least 200+ times. It's a little discolored around the edges because I'm messy, maybe a little rust or burnt residue on the outer metal rim, but the surface I cook on looks brand new, still functions like it's brand new too. FYI I'm the kind of guy to cook eggs, just wipe with a paper towel, then cook a steak on it later, then some other stuff and I might leave it dirty in my sink for a few days or until I decide I need to cook again. I recommend this pan to everyone. I prefer using this skillet over grilling outside, much more convenient and I've cooked many steaks on it. It's basically a cast iron skillet that you don't have to worry about it rusting or throwing in the dishwasher or oiling. It's so convenient and I can't go back to any other skillet. I have a big circular one, and I plan on buying the bigger square one eventually, I might keep that one nicer.
Hey there. Was looking into a budget friendly good cookware. I know it been awhile since you posted so how is the pan now? Do you still use it? If not? how long til you dumped it?
This 1 year review video really clinched it, I will definitely be buying one of these Granite Rock pans. You can't expect more from a pan that costs $20ish dollars. Love the 1 year later reviews. Great job, thanks.
@@rushrule1 it's been a year since you made your comment. How did your experience turn out? Previously I was looking at Cast Iron pans, and so many people talk about "Seasoning" it as in never use dish soap and to keep it oiled when finished using. Briefly googling that word with these pans that seems to be the same case. He probably wasn't caring for it properly removing the non-stick seasoning.
Just bought a 10” GraniteRock fry pan. I like the look and feel of the pan but haven’t had a chance yet to really test it. So I’m glad to see your test results - gives me more confidence I made a good purchase.
So when I watched the vid last year, I was super interested in a durable, and effective non-stick pan. The way you ran the tests comparative to how they did it gave a great example of how effective it was with little to manipulation. I was considering on getting one of these, but never did. Watched this now, and definitely with the aging test and retesting, it still holds up extremely well. You may not be sponsored, but I'm extremely likely to buy a full set or two of these (if there was a set). Their quality and durability, plus your care tips and in depth demonstrations show the full effectiveness of this pan. Well done. Edit: I am more than happy to support you by using your affiliate Amazon link to buy the pans. Normally if I don't have a desire to support a person's affiliate link (be it because they just gave a quick article and slapped a link in there, or made a 1 paragraph forum post with a link), I'll copy the location and come back to it from the outside and get an item. For you though, I'll see to it that I use yours.
Have two granite rock pans and actually love these pans . Cook everything from scrambled eggs Blackened salmon , pork chops,steaks, chicken chunks for fajitas. and more . So good I bought some for my daughter too and she loves them
Holy crap... I just realized that the first review of the rock pan was what brought me to you. I have been subbed to you for a year. Damn... Congrats on another year, dude!
I’ve had a granite rock pan and a granite stone pan for more than a year. Use them a lot and am happy with both. Have one blue diamond, also good and one small red copper my husband likes for eggs, he always wants to cook at higher temps than needed. All have held up well
@@daddyosink4413 pardon my intrusion but I must for your health. non stick pans are bad for you. what people don't see today is for every positive their is a negative.
Just bought one last week. We needed a new pan and checked your reviews and watched last years and saw how well it worked. Really cool that you did this right after we got ours and we love it.
I got one half a year ago after watching your 2018 video and it has been the best frying pan I've ever used. The surface is still nonstick and hasn't chipped or cracked like teflon pans which I would have thrown out by now.
I love your channel. I believe that you give a truly unbiased opinion of the products that you review. I disbelieve all the infomercials of any product, but I trust you and really enjoy the time and effort you put into your videos. Great channel.
Why wouldn't you buy a frying pan? The advantage of this one over regular teflon ones is that you never risk contaminating your food with the pan material.
@@vernerhed I trusted America's Kitchen, too, until they reviewed something I know inside and out - vanilla extract. Their reviewers chose artificial vanilla extract - vanillin - as one of their best. Real vanilla extract is the most complex flavor on earth, being composed of approximately 500 different flavor molecules. Vanillin is only one of these flavors. So, let's just say I don't trust their taste.
I purchased this pan about 6 months ago because of your review and it’s my favorite pan to use. Thank you for all the reviews you post. Helps me not to waste money when making purchases of As Seen On TV items 😉
Love your follow up reviews. It really gives a clear picture of how the pan does... I wouldn't melt /burn cheese in a pan anyway.. I can't wait to get my pan first sure! Thanks for all you do!
I was searching for a good nonstick pan back in March and I stumbled across your video and it convinced me to try the Granite Rock skillet. I have used it almost every day for all that time and it is still going strong. The ONLY difference I noticed from then to now is that when I first bought it, not even water would stick to the pan when I washed it; didn't even have to dry it after washing. Now, after rinsing, there are a few beads of water left. However, food never sticks to it and it still works fantastic for cooking. I also bought some Tfal nonstick pans at the same time and they all work great too- but I don't use them nearly as much as I do the Granite Rock pan. I think it is important to note that I never knew it was bad to use cooking spray on nonstick pans and I may have ruined all the ones I had in the past because of it. Just in case anyone else is ignorant to that fact....Don't ever use cooking spray on non-stick pans! It eats the non-stick coating.
I purchased one of these after your reviews. I really like the pan and use it almost everyday. It does what it says with no issues. I do have one note, if you make a lot of an item such as scrambled eggs for the whole family, the residue around the metal bolts inside the pan are harder to clean. Other than that, great pan.
If anybody's interested I bought a Starfrit "The Rock" frying pan a while ago and it passed all the tests this guy has shown plus a few. Honestly, it was the best pan I had ever used until the three-month mark at which it started to degrade and become "semi-stick" instead of "no-stick". Now you can fry an egg but it doesn't slide around in the butter anymore and when you fry a lot of things all sorts of stuff gets stuck to the bottom. I am now getting ready to throw the thing out even though it sort of works a bit. So forget about the Starfrit "The Rock". Oh, and I was extra careful about not damaging the bottom...
I've been looking for a new egg pan since last year when you reviewed this, guess I have to buy it now. Played the long game, thanks for the follow up.
I'm seriously thinking about getting one of those pans just to cook eggs in. My stainless steel ones are wonderful getting anything but eggs out of. Thanks for the review!
Almost everything sticks, the white specks discolor, and it scratches easily. He either babied his, or he's lying in order to make sales. I had nothing but probems after a couple months.
@@nambypamby2147 It says in the instructions to not use knives, forks or metal spatulas on the pan, the same goes for all non-stick pans. You just messed your pan up.
watching this has become a family tradition for me and my family. thank you so much for the joy that you bring to this house. cannot wait for this years!!! (rewatching this now LOL)
Shopping for my first pots n' pans set for moving out on my own. Your vids have helped me decide that Granite Rock is the best option for me (was considering Blue Diamond before). Thanks!
Was looking on the net for this the Granite Rock pan, but have discovered another brand called Granite Stone. Wonder if the two are the same. Thanks for the review.
James, After seeing your review of the GranitStone pro today, I decided to purchase two sets. After making my order I had to Email them with a correction on my Email address. I explained in my Email that I saw your review, and you gave it high ratings. Within 5 minutes Zach Toste answered my Email. He said that they were kind of nervous about what you were going to say, because you are always so tough.

A shout out to GranitStone for making such a high quality product, and a shout out to you for being "so tough" of a critic. Because without you being so tough, MANY people would have wasted a lot of money on unacceptable products.
We bought ours earlier this year after we saw your first review. It's our go to pan. We're hoping to eventually get a whole set of them but sadly they're becoming hard to find in our area.
Love mine. I have one that's been absolutely abused. And can still cool eggs with no oil or butter. I'm talking metal spatula, high heats, hot and put in water, dropped.
@@Vlad2319 Not true. Most non-butter fat spreads don't contain hydrogenated oils anymore, therefore, they are much healthier (although you're still better just going without).
Tried various frying pans over many years. The granite rock pan seems to be the best of the nonstick and cast iron is classic, but I've settled on carbon steel for use from anything from campfire to induction cooktop. Had a little trial-and-error with cleaning and a bit more with keeping it seasoned so that it was rustproof and nonstick, but after hundreds of uses, eggs slide around like it was a new nonstick pan, and it is next to indestructible.
Got one for my wife, she's cooked from omelettes to steaks with the same results, this is a great fry pan. If your spouse loves to cook, get them some good cookware, they'll love you for it, and the rewards will show themselves... ON YOUR WAISTLINE!!!
@@BecBec1967 melted jolly ranchers are actually really useful for decorating baked goods. They can create a pretty stained glass for gingerbread houses, for example, or pretty cake/cupcake/cookie decorations that taste good and are not made of globs of frosting or gross fondant.
@@chrisjimenez2192 I wasn't genuinely surprised. I knew pornstars were just like everyone else the whole time. Just much more endowed..than the rest of us.
I HAD a Red Copper pan but for some reason it warped after a month of uses. The bottom no longer lay flat on my glass topped stove. To the best of my knowledge I never overheated the pan or tried to cool it down too quickly. Shortly thereafter I noticed that the interior finish was crazing! Red Copper got recycled. Granite Rock, however, has done so well that I purchased a larger version to use for some recipes. The interior did not stick ever, even after washing it in the dishwasher (no, Red Copper never went into the dishwasher)so I for one, am pleased with the pan.
Yeah, most channels rarely, if ever, do a follow up review after good use. Thanks for being one of the few. BTW: your reviews are interesting and informative.
Excellent follow-up, this is the only way that we can learn of the product's actual capabilities (via long term tests. I can't wait until the next test of the is product in 2020.
I think the different results this year are largely to do with varying heat and cooking lengths. I think the pan has held up great and still is just as capable as when you first bought it and put it through its paces!
I have been using the Rock (3 different styles) for years, and always use a little (sometimes a lot) of oil. I wipe them out instead of washing, just like granny treated her cast iron, and they are actually better 'cause they are aluminum which has better heat transfer. The aluminum handle never gets hot, unless used in the oven, but hey, you can, and they work great. The only problem I ever had was forgetting to turn the burner off (medium) under the pan, which filled the house with smoke & scorched the finish. My only recourse was to go buy another one. My big one came with a vented glass lid, and I can cook everything with that, including stews, stir fry, chili, you name it. It also has a small "bale" handle on the outer end for heavy loads & it doesn't get hot either. I have used many different types of cookware in the past, but not any more. Thanks for the opportunity to plug this product, it has made my life a whole lot easier.
Hey I'm very pleased to see how good your pan looks & works after a year. I've never had any of those pans but maybe one day I'll have that Granite Rock Pan. Thanks 👍
We bought one of these a few months ago based off of your review. We love it. In fact, it lives on our stove. We use it, wash it, and then put it right back for the next use.
I've had 2 Rock frying pans for 3 or 4 years... used almost daily and often more than once a day ( 5 adults in this house). I LOVE them both still. I will admit that they have been treated pretty badly by some people here. They are not quite as slippery as they used to be due to *someone* who left one of them on the burner, with olive oil no less LOL. That being said, these are my favorites in the world! I have a Zwilling J.A. Henckels Spirit Thermolon Ceramic Nonstick Tri-Ply Clad Pans (also known as Sol CeraForce) which I only keep because it's much larger than my largest "Rock" pan. That one lost its non-stick quality within the first 8 months. I was at Canadian Tire (yes I'm Canadian) and checked out the Rock pans there. I think I'll stick to my old ones because they felt so light and flimsy compared to what I have now. If someone can tell compare the heavy substantial Rock against the new flimsy ones I'd love to see it. You see, I have RA, which is getting worse, and I'm thinking I just might have no choice to buy the light pans in the future. Well... I double checked my pans and I guess we're talking about 2 different animals here. I have "The Rock" pans ... LOVE THEM. These are from Heritage, but I'm not going to remove my post because it still applies.
We bought a couple of Granite Rock frying pans for our motorhome about 3 years ago, mostly because they were cheap at Canadian Tire. Then, a little over a year ago we got an induction cooktop in our home and needed new cookware that worked with it. We bought a complete set, in the tan color, and they too have performed well. They are all still non-stick and there has been no discoloration.
I love watching your reviews, you present the facts as you've tested. Thx for this follow up, I'm gonna add this to my other pans. 😁 When I think of buying a new product, I ck to see if you've reviewed it, and if so, what the results were. You've saved me money for sure!
This video is why I love your channel. I want more than a first impression. I want to know if something is going to still work after time has passed. Thanks James!
I bought one in Leclerc supermarket 5 yrs ago.(27 Euros for large frying pan) The underside of the pan is all burnt (gas rings) but inside is as good as new. Best pan I have ever bought!!!
I bought one about 8 months ago. I don't use metal utensils in it and let it cool slowly. No warping or any visible wear. Works as well today as the day I bought it and I use it for something every night. I use my cast iron to sear and cook meats so it never really sees high temperature use so that might make a difference. A few months after I got this I bought the smaller size to go along with it.
Great review. This is by far more useful to me than the new tests. All these non-stick pans work the first few weeks, its only after use that they degrade. The fact that this one didn't is a huge endorsement for this pan. thanks!
49 dollars off thanks! I’m when I purchased the largest set - your review really sold me I was struggling trying to find a good quality set. I’ve been using the copper pan but it’s just not good after a few months use.
I feel there was a missed opportunity to use the phrase “Let’s see how this “pans out”...

Love mine. I have one that's been absolutely abused. And can still cool eggs with no oil or butter. I'm talking metal spatula, high heats, hot and put in water, dropped.
Did you also place yours in the dishwasher?
You are the first youtuber that shows the video you refer to instead of telling us to click link to it
I always put a little butter in the pan, even if its non-stick.
Agree, texture of the egg is more on the rubber side without butter.
@@shynedavis5056 .... you're right ..... just need a little bit of butter to have the good slide out easily...
@@tesss6767 Or don't, if you don't want to die of heart disease like a quarter of Americans.
@@morganmitchell4017 people add a touch of butter for flavor. Also most people use margarine more than butter which is worse than legit butter.
@@Vlad2319 Not true. Most non-butter fat spreads don't contain hydrogenated oils anymore, therefore, they are much healthier (although you're still better just going without).
This is fantastic as I'm hunting around deciding on getting a new pan. Thanks so much for doing this extended followup review.
Love how he had the exact same look of yuck on his face when trying the choco-caramel-cheez... 🤢🤮😬
Tried various frying pans over many years. The granite rock pan seems to be the best of the nonstick and cast iron is classic, but I've settled on carbon steel for use from anything from campfire to induction cooktop. Had a little trial-and-error with cleaning and a bit more with keeping it seasoned so that it was rustproof and nonstick, but after hundreds of uses, eggs slide around like it was a new nonstick pan, and it is next to indestructible.
Best home cooking pan I've ever used.
Bought this after your review last year, I usually put a small amount of oil when cooking but it works fantastic, even now.
Wait, you've only used that pan 100x in a year? Dude that pan is brand f*ing new!
The pan is garbage. There's no way he used it 100 times.
100+ not 100x
Got one for my wife, she's cooked from omelettes to steaks with the same results, this is a great fry pan. If your spouse loves to cook, get them some good cookware, they'll love you for it, and the rewards will show themselves... ON YOUR WAISTLINE!!!
When I cook my Jolly Ranchers I will ONLY use Granite Rock pans.
And ruin a perfectly good cloth: For.... melted Jolly Ranchers 😟SMH
That's completely hilarious 🤣
@@SocialAlexNYC you're missing the point, unless you like melted jelly ranchers. . .
@@BecBec1967 melted jolly ranchers are actually really useful for decorating baked goods. They can create a pretty stained glass for gingerbread houses, for example, or pretty cake/cupcake/cookie decorations that taste good and are not made of globs of frosting or gross fondant.
My Granite Rock is still loved in my household after almost a year.
Thanks for the update.

That's the way to do it!
Shione Cooper [Google Me] I googled you

Hugh Mungus what?
Jk lol
Hmm, porn stars are people too.
@@kazankatrick3362
What a surprise huh lol
@@chrisjimenez2192 I wasn't genuinely surprised. I knew pornstars were just like everyone else the whole time. Just much more endowed..than the rest of us.
I HAD a Red Copper pan but for some reason it warped after a month of uses. The bottom no longer lay flat on my glass topped stove. To the best of my knowledge I never overheated the pan or tried to cool it down too quickly. Shortly thereafter I noticed that the interior finish was crazing! Red Copper got recycled. Granite Rock, however, has done so well that I purchased a larger version to use for some recipes. The interior did not stick ever, even after washing it in the dishwasher (no, Red Copper never went into the dishwasher)so I for one, am pleased with the pan.
This guy looks like a white Terry Crews
Or if Walter White did Crossfit
and honestly I'm okay with either
I thought he looks like a white Shamar Moore. (Derek on criminal minds)
A cute Walter White who makes me want to try fried cheese, caramel, and chocolate 🤔
Yeah, most channels rarely, if ever, do a follow up review after good use. Thanks for being one of the few. BTW: your reviews are interesting and informative.
Really is the best pan I’ve ever used, I wish it had a lid
The 10 piece set includes a lid
Excellent follow-up, this is the only way that we can learn of the product's actual capabilities (via long term tests.
I can't wait until the next test of the is product in 2020.
I'm impressed... might have to buy one of these.
I think the different results this year are largely to do with varying heat and cooking lengths. I think the pan has held up great and still is just as capable as when you first bought it and put it through its paces!
"We're going in raw and we'll see how it goes" we all know how that goes James! Hahaha!
I have same pfp for my Microsoft account lol and used to be my xbox pfp
I have been using the Rock (3 different styles) for years, and always use a little (sometimes a lot) of oil. I wipe them out instead of washing, just like granny treated her cast iron, and they are actually better 'cause they are aluminum which has better heat transfer. The aluminum handle never gets hot, unless used in the oven, but hey, you can, and they work great. The only problem I ever had was forgetting to turn the burner off (medium) under the pan, which filled the house with smoke & scorched the finish. My only recourse was to go buy another one. My big one came with a vented glass lid, and I can cook everything with that, including stews, stir fry, chili, you name it. It also has a small "bale" handle on the outer end for heavy loads & it doesn't get hot either. I have used many different types of cookware in the past, but not any more. Thanks for the opportunity to plug this product, it has made my life a whole lot easier.
I believe the ultimate test is corned beef hash. Those potatoes stick like nothing else
Hey I'm very pleased to see how good your pan looks & works after a year. I've never had any of those pans but maybe one day I'll have that Granite Rock Pan. Thanks 👍
So basically like cast iron and requires seasoning of the pan, regardless it's better than majority of pans I've seen and I'm impressed
Fantastic! I'm actually looking for new pans now!!! Thanks!!!
It's actually really impressive even a year later.
We bought one of these a few months ago based off of your review. We love it. In fact, it lives on our stove. We use it, wash it, and then put it right back for the next use.
Company: goodness our pan isn't destroyed. Our sales will go down!
Infomercial for the Granite Emerald Green kept popping up, so I looked to see if you reviewed it. Nice.
I bought mine a year ago, and everything sticks to it just as bad as it did when it was new.
gregeoryl really?
I've had 2 Rock frying pans for 3 or 4 years... used almost daily and often more than once a day ( 5 adults in this house). I LOVE them both still. I will admit that they have been treated pretty badly by some people here. They are not quite as slippery as they used to be due to *someone* who left one of them on the burner, with olive oil no less LOL. That being said, these are my favorites in the world! I have a Zwilling J.A. Henckels Spirit Thermolon Ceramic Nonstick Tri-Ply Clad Pans (also known as Sol CeraForce) which I only keep because it's much larger than my largest "Rock" pan. That one lost its non-stick quality within the first 8 months.
I was at Canadian Tire (yes I'm Canadian) and checked out the Rock pans there. I think I'll stick to my old ones because they felt so light and flimsy compared to what I have now. If someone can tell compare the heavy substantial Rock against the new flimsy ones I'd love to see it. You see, I have RA, which is getting worse, and I'm thinking I just might have no choice to buy the light pans in the future.
Well... I double checked my pans and I guess we're talking about 2 different animals here. I have "The Rock" pans ... LOVE THEM. These are from Heritage, but I'm not going to remove my post because it still applies.
Talking to the shrimp “come on, guys“ 😂 Good demo.
Makes me want to buy this 🍳 💪🏼
We bought a couple of Granite Rock frying pans for our motorhome about 3 years ago, mostly because they were cheap at Canadian Tire. Then, a little over a year ago we got an induction cooktop in our home and needed new cookware that worked with it. We bought a complete set, in the tan color, and they too have performed well. They are all still non-stick and there has been no discoloration.
In my opinion the best non stick pan is a well taken care off well seasoned pan
This is why this channel can be trusted, bought one after the first review and mine has held up really well!
"I wouldn't do this"
does it.
I have one and use it everyday. Absolutely the best pan I've ever had and it's holding up well.
Me too. Love this pan
Can't wait to see how this PANS OUT........
👀
Lmao
That was punny
[rimshot]
I love watching your reviews, you present the facts as you've tested. Thx for this follow up, I'm gonna add this to my other pans. 😁
When I think of buying a new product, I ck to see if you've reviewed it, and if so, what the results were. You've saved me money for sure!
can you confirm graniterock and granitestone to be the same, or is one a knock-off?
Dwight Phillips fr I needa know! I want some of those pans!!
Was wondering about this as well. They use the exact same commercial (except for the name).
This video is why I love your channel. I want more than a first impression. I want to know if something is going to still work after time has passed. Thanks James!
...I gonna go find a large rock and start cooking on it.
I bought one in Leclerc supermarket 5 yrs ago.(27 Euros for large frying pan) The underside of the pan is all burnt (gas rings) but inside is as good as new. Best pan I have ever bought!!!
Best pan I've ever owned, I just wish it were bigger.
There's a 12" available. How much bigger do you need?
@@mrgallbladder That's the size i have but its round and doesn't fit multiple burgers or steaks well.
I bought one about 8 months ago. I don't use metal utensils in it and let it cool slowly. No warping or any visible wear. Works as well today as the day I bought it and I use it for something every night. I use my cast iron to sear and cook meats so it never really sees high temperature use so that might make a difference. A few months after I got this I bought the smaller size to go along with it.
This has to be the best product so far .
Great review. This is by far more useful to me than the new tests. All these non-stick pans work the first few weeks, its only after use that they degrade. The fact that this one didn't is a huge endorsement for this pan. thanks!
after a year, I'm going to find this pan.
I got the copper pans, totally failed
Thanks for the info I was debating on getting that one or this one. I think I might go with a granite Stone
I was interested in this pan but wasn't sure how it do I'm glad you're here. :)
04:10 That fourth flavor is called cancer... that's what cancer tastes like
Adam P. Sources please?
49 dollars off thanks! I’m when I purchased the largest set - your review really sold me I was struggling trying to find a good quality set. I’ve been using the copper pan but it’s just not good after a few months use.
Theres not one person i know that cooks with no butter or oil unless they like bland food so i say the pan is worth every penny
I bought this pan for my husband last year based off of your review. He still loves and uses it all the time!
Too bad they are made with aluminum instead of stainless steel.
