Can you do a "how to season/break in cookware" show? I just bought a new wok as well and Ebbers saying he recently went through the process of breaking his in made me realize I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to seasoning cookware.
Lol I bought a carbon steel wok just about a year ago too! I have to say a few things occasionally stick, like stir fried ramen noodles. But everytime I use it it seems to get better and better at becoming non-stick. Its basically a matter of use it and seasoning it after every use like I do my cast iron. But its easier on my arms to use. And I occasionally do a deep fry dinner for us in it. Its deep and holds a lovely temp for deep oil frying.(good grief autocorrect 🙄 its frying not farting! Its tried to correct it to that 3 times lol. Maybe I need more coffee 🤣) But use it scrub it clean and dry it over low heat. Once dry i use a bit of oil on a paper towel or a bit of a spray of oil let cool on the hob and put back on the rack. But the colors of the rainbow I ended up with is very cool. On the outside it has darkened and has a rainbowish glaze. Have a great day or night 🥰
Metal baking trays tend to bend and warp at certain temps if they don't have something heavy enough on them the trays I place my loaf pans on top of always warp when I'm baking bread. After they cool down they usually warp back with an ungodly noise that scares the crap out of anyone not expect it
It was certainly nothing warped by the gun itself. It is a highly used sheet tray, they often tend to warp from high use in the oven at high temps. Even home chefs have some sheet trays that have warped.
Slow warping is not always a problem with a good tray (even heat distribution) but these warped way too fast (and we all know that's very bad for the warp core don't we trekkies 😂 )
Let’s be real: the person who made the SU-V Gun probably lays awake at night thinking “you know what could tenderise a whole lot of steak really well? Gattling Gun”

IDK if the inventor does but I've certainly thought about fire arm related cooking. Combine two of my favorite things.

I’m addicted to cast iron, it’s the only thing my parents ever cooked with. That is a silly price!!! I’ve spent years finding and restoring antique/vintage cast iron and for $20 I get perfectly smooth, light and exceptionally seasoned pan and that cook perfect every time. If you ever want a good cast iron pan I’ll send you one
OMG this. As far as material costs go, that single pan is an appreciable % of the cost of a literal ton of cast iron. Even if you want to assume fairly small batch production, very generous wages for the makers, lots of QC and refinement and so on, 120 dollars is bonkers. Part of the reason cast iron is such a good material is how simple and cheap it is to work with. Then as you point you, cast iron "forever" pans aren't a new idea. You can find a cast iron that someones great grandma bought in the 1890s, and as long as it hasn't been left to rust it works the exact same as a modern pan (and even if it has been left to rust it might be restoreable). Every cast iron pan ever made that hasn't rusted through or made it to a scrap yard is still out there and usable. Check your local thrift store.
I love the confidence and comfort Ben had in handling that giant torch gun, you know he is used to handling one I was also in awe at how it changed the shape of the baking trays
I have to preheat my favorite cookie sheet, otherwise if I make chips on it it tends to eject half of them around the oven. I even found one on top of the upper coil.
The thumbnail on the video with Ebbers and the Su-V Gun, made me immediately had shades of Tim Allen as “Tim ‘The Toolman’ Taylor” saying “More Power”! Love it! This show has quickly become a new obsession.❤
“I’m losing control, guys, we gotta wrap this up.” - Michael Brian Huttlestone, Designated Fire Extinguisher Holder, 2021. This sums up the Community’s reaction. Thank you for the representation 😂
The ending scene where you could see Barry stop for a second trying to think how he would explain what just Jamie did and proceeding with just “nevermind” i’m dead 😂😂😂
It really depends if you want the factory seasoning or not. To completely reseason a pan, you have to get all of the factory/old seasoning off, which is a lot of elbow grease with steel wool or scouring pad. The next thing to keep in mind is you never want to put seasoning on a wet pan, or any water at all. So you get it as dry as possible (I do it in the oven). Oil choice is another thing - any vegetable oil/blended oil is fine, as long as it can withstand pretty high heat. The newest thing is flaxseed oil, which is expensive but gives pans a mirror like finish and makes them very nonstick. My method is: wash/scour off seasoning, place in cold oven. Turn oven on to 400F. Take out pan once oven is preheated. Carefully cover all surfaces in a light layer of oil of choice. Put back in oven until not shiny. Done if regularly seasoned, and repeat the process for first seasoning. It'll take hours and several coats of oil to season or reseason for the first time. And even then it won't be that good until cooked on regularly. I recently reseasoned all my mom's cast iron using this method, and it works. (they were all rusty af and I couldn't stand it anymore!)
The blow torch just reminds me of when I asked my dad if he had a blowtorch while I was cooking christmas dinner and he came back with a propane torch which he used for metal work 😂 It was brilliant and definitely cheaper
@@fallingwater He got a different job. They said he'll come back sometime as a guest but he doesn't work there anymore. Go back and watch the Celebration Cake Pass It On video. That's when they announced it.
That pan seems way overpriced for being...a pan. I have a 12" cast iron skillet that I bought new for around $30, and it has been an amazing addition to my kitchen. I'm not sure how basically machining out the inside so it's smooth makes it worth so much more. Lodge skillet ftw!
Not to mention most antique/vintage cast iron is very smooth. You can certainly find an antique cast iron pan for much less than $120 and it would require the same amount of upkeep.
@@johnnyCheeseburger Exactly. Also, that blowtorch looks super cool and all, but if it's going to warp the baking sheet like that every time you use it...that seems like a problem for the baking sheets.
@@opmaus I really think it's more of a "finish the dish" at the end of a get together than a normal kitchen implement myself. (Course if you have the kitchen for it why not). But on a porch or backyard it makes a lot of sense if you don't have time/space/fire for a full barbeque or whatever. Maybe get a wire rack or heavier tray Or warm them in the oven beforehand so the warping is less.
Omg thank you I thought I was the only one!! I was wondering why not guy a thrift store pan?? My mom got ne that we found out was around 100 yrs old and it's amazing!!
Great video, but on a side note: It's so great to see you 4 together in the kitchen. I don't know why, but that image just got me after all this social distancing times. Lovely!
My first impression upon seeing the thumbnail: Omg is that a flamethrower? 1 second later: WAIT, WHO GAVE BEN A FLAMETHROWER do we not remember the coconut shredder?!
This has been a lovely couple videos for Jamie, first the Key Lime Pie, now the flamethrower of food, and both times his little face lights up like a child on bonfire night. I was rolling in my chair laughing as Ben had the time of his life turning the Flamenwuffer on some salmon.
All jokes aside, the flame thrower is the exact level of gadge I truly appreciated you reviewing. And the cast iron. Thank you for accepting the medium level "normal" cold as well as the ones who can cook but are looking at "is is worth it" level of gear. Thank you all for what you do, on and off camera sorted crew.
You can get a Lodge cast iron that will be better pre-seasoned than the pan featured here for like fifty or sixty dollars. I suspect the milling of the cook surface may even make sticking worse as possibly the slight uneven surface of a traditional cast iron pan works with the seasoning to reduce surface sticky area.
Bought a Lodge pan through Amazon UK last year for around 35 quid and ye, you are spot on with your assessment. Brilliant pan with a good reputation at half the price. Nuff said.
I suspect it's just a bad seasoning job. Most older cast irons are smooth and people never had an issue. Heck, the thin black steel pans a lot of kitchens use are smooth af. The roughness of new cast irons is mainly to cut costs, it doesn't really matter once you have a proper layer of seasoning on there and it's what has allowed cast iron to stay so cheap
I bought a cast iron skillet for around 30€, took a grinder to it cause I didn't like the preseasoning, re-seasoned it and it has been smooth, non-stick and a dream to handle ever since. Didn't have a fancy leather sheath though.
I can’t get my head around the fact that someone re-invented the cast iron pan and came up with a cast iron pan. I have a few different Lodge pans, you can’t go wrong with any of them.
Lodge casts it with itty-bitty bumps to make their factory seasoning stick better so you can cook with it straight out of the box, which they're really transparent about on their website and on the care instructions. Smooth pans work just as well with good seasoning, they're just a little harder to get good layers of seasoning on.
@@Chunkosaurus Yeah. And what about those new fangled mutli-burner gas stoves? Everyone is up in arms about those! No. Wait. My mistake. They've been accepted in kitchens for over 200 years.
The flame thrower gun was actually made specifically for a RUclipsr who does Sous Vide experiments and wanted something to sear with that didn't mess up the perfect sous vide cook of meat. Prior to the gun he was using blow torches but a fan sent him a jerry rigged gun that he created for easier/"safer" indoor use.
So I'm not the only one thinking it's a thinly-veiled Zombie Apocalypse weapon? Hopefully there's a "Z" setting on a dial, to give enough distance so you can light up a zombie before it gets closes enough to bite you.
Ebbers: *casually using a flamethrower as a kitchen appliance* Me: 'either chefs are extremely well trained on all types of blowtorch to make the creme breulle or Ben has some storys to tell'
I'd pick Suvi gun too. The Coldbrew gadget doesn't seem to add much to me for the price it has, and the Prepd skillet kind of failed the practical test despite being prepped according to the instructions, so the price feels very high and unproven (while the grip makes me worry it might just end up slipping out of my hand while handling it once grease gets involved!)... but the gun is both very effective at what it does, and an amazing product to to whip out at a gathering. Yeah, it is cheeky and there is probably a cheaper and/or better-performing product for what it does, but this one is all about the impression it leaves behind and it rocks it. That kind of added value is what I'd expect from something crowdfunded.
I'm assuming that the crew gave Ebbers a MAP-PLUS canister instead of a regular propane canister because they knew the flame would be 25% HOTTER THAN PROPANE.
@@MtnNerd The secret to seasoning cheap cast iron pans is removing the seasoning by soaking in boiling water, and deliberately rusting the pan by leaving heavily salted water in it for a couple of days. Scrubbing it out with steel wool then rusting and scrubbing it out one more time before reseasoning. The controlled rusting process removes the high rough spots giving a much smoother finish.
@@JHNielson4851 That method works but embeds aluminum oxide and silica into the cast iron. The rust method sets the pan up better to become perfectly smooth over time.
Ben with the flamethrower is so hilarious i love it!! i laughed so hard my sides hurt now 🤣🤣🤣🤣 ... and i love how Ben is so honest in all his reviews, same for all of of you, so i know i really dont need a gadget for everything
A cast iron pan milled "smooth" that needs as much seasoning as a non milled pan and it costs 1/3+ more the the normal cast iron? They had people back that? I believe there's a quote attributed to PT Barnum or Mark Twain that may apply.
I'm surprised more people on the comments didn't talk about that. Gurentee the people who backed that were expecting a cast iron pan that didn't need to be seasoned. Whether or not thats what the Kickstarter promised, I dunno, but I bet that's what people thought it was about.
The milling smooth is a nice feature. I've done that myself with a cast iron pan and it does work really well. There's a reason people aren't manufacturing 'roughened' steel pans after all. And if you don't have the tools for it, I can see wanting to small pay a premium for that. You get better surface contact, and you get more even heat transfer sine you wont end up with little craters of thicker seasoning. That's not a big deal, or even necessary, but it's fine. It'll help it be a little more rust resistant as well. Basically some of the same logic as enamelled cast iron It's still cast iron though, so it still needs seasoning. Being smooth doesn't help it be non stick either. It actually makes it worse if it's just bare cast iron. "sticking" is a material interaction between the two surfaces and if it'll stick improving the surface contact does not help that! The layer of polymerized oil is what makes it nonstick.
Mike clutching onto the fire extinguisher for dear life is what got me. And all of their facial expressions 😂😂 Loved this one boys, keep the flamethrower aside for when James visits 😉😋
Really liked the negative feedback on the products. It really felt like a real review. I don't know why sometimes theses reviews feel fake but this one is great Thanks lads
As usual, Jamie is pure chaos, Barry falls for the pretty and pretentious, Mike is distracted by the shiny thing and Ben never fails to throw in a Bennuendo.
I agree with Ben. That torch looks like a bit of kit that gives you an experience, and he was genuinely having fun. I’d have the same silly grin if I was handed one of those.
Not gonna lie, kinda impressed at the way Ben just wielded that flamethrower like it was no big deal whereas mike clung the fire extinguisher for dear life
This was awesome! My 14 year old boy spent a good chunk of the day trying to convince EVERYONE that they need the torch! Ben had loads of fun! Jamie was so happy! Barry and Mike...well, I just hope they had brought a change of pants 🤣
The gun looks awesome. For sousvide steak I'd say a great accessory. Was there any propane flavor? That's my only concern. Butter in cast iron does three things: 1 smoke fills the house, 2 potentially keeps cooking the steak, 3 adds fat and potentially alters the flavor of the steak.
I was gunna purchase tHe Prep’d cast iron, but they wouldn’t answer my Flour question on even heating…so I pulled out. However I did find an incredible Kickstarter gadget that was delivered…it’s called the Mannkitchen Pepper Cannon and while expensive is an absolute must have in m6 opinion for anyone who grills a lot or is just sick of a million pepper mill cranks.
it warped both trays, for the salmon and ribeye and when dealing with fire, safety is always relative obviously the boys shouldnt have used that near a wood counter but they did have a fire extinguisher nearby when dealing with torches, make sure to use it away from anything that could catch fire or melt, and if indoors make sure its in a well ventilated area
Mike: Clutches the fire extinguisher for dear life.
Ben: The fire speaks to me.
Meanwhile Baz clutches Mike for dear life, as he tries to use Hutters as a human shield!

I still think the scraper was more dangerous for an untrained individual to use.
Scraper definitely is more dangerous since the intended use is to move into it, while the SU-V gun's intended use is to fire it away from you.

OMG this. As far as material costs go, that single pan is an appreciable % of the cost of a literal ton of cast iron.
Even if you want to assume fairly small batch production, very generous wages for the makers, lots of QC and refinement and so on, 120 dollars is bonkers. Part of the reason cast iron is such a good material is how simple and cheap it is to work with.
Then as you point you, cast iron "forever" pans aren't a new idea. You can find a cast iron that someones great grandma bought in the 1890s, and as long as it hasn't been left to rust it works the exact same as a modern pan (and even if it has been left to rust it might be restoreable). Every cast iron pan ever made that hasn't rusted through or made it to a scrap yard is still out there and usable. Check your local thrift store.
How much would you want for one?
Hey! Is this I'll send you one part holds for everyone?
I love the confidence and comfort Ben had in handling that giant torch gun, you know he is used to handling one
I was also in awe at how it changed the shape of the baking trays
I have a cookie sheet that warps every time I make something. When it cools, it goes back to normal
I have to preheat my favorite cookie sheet, otherwise if I make chips on it it tends to eject half of them around the oven. I even found one on top of the upper coil.
Love how they used a pan that was no longer useable for baking, but still good for the a flamethrower.
The way Jamie looks on with sheer joy as Ben buries the steak in flames absolutely got me 😂

The thumbnail on the video with Ebbers and the Su-V Gun, made me immediately had shades of Tim Allen as “Tim ‘The Toolman’ Taylor” saying “More Power”! Love it! This show has quickly become a new obsession.❤

This is one of the bestest comment i have read today :) Thanks for this epic comment :)
The ending scene where you could see Barry stop for a second trying to think how he would explain what just Jamie did and proceeding with just “nevermind” i’m dead 😂😂😂
I'd love to watch a video about how to properly season a pan.
ruclips.net/video/vsthDhOodDs/видео.html
Me too... because I have insomnia and that would certainly cure it.
It really depends if you want the factory seasoning or not. To completely reseason a pan, you have to get all of the factory/old seasoning off, which is a lot of elbow grease with steel wool or scouring pad. The next thing to keep in mind is you never want to put seasoning on a wet pan, or any water at all. So you get it as dry as possible (I do it in the oven). Oil choice is another thing - any vegetable oil/blended oil is fine, as long as it can withstand pretty high heat. The newest thing is flaxseed oil, which is expensive but gives pans a mirror like finish and makes them very nonstick.
My method is: wash/scour off seasoning, place in cold oven. Turn oven on to 400F. Take out pan once oven is preheated. Carefully cover all surfaces in a light layer of oil of choice. Put back in oven until not shiny. Done if regularly seasoned, and repeat the process for first seasoning. It'll take hours and several coats of oil to season or reseason for the first time. And even then it won't be that good until cooked on regularly. I recently reseasoned all my mom's cast iron using this method, and it works. (they were all rusty af and I couldn't stand it anymore!)
You only have about a million to choose from on RUclips, unfortunately.
Best advice I can give anyone, bring it to a Chinese or Indian restaurant and they will season a pan for you no problem
The blow torch just reminds me of when I asked my dad if he had a blowtorch while I was cooking christmas dinner and he came back with a propane torch which he used for metal work 😂 It was brilliant and definitely cheaper
I don't know why I'm as amused by the image of Mike cradling the fire extinguisher like a baby as I am.
I almost spent money on the Prepd pan believing it was prepped straight out the box, thanks so much for doing this episode!
Testing a blow torch after James left is like posting pictures of your new girlfriend to make your ex jealous.
Wait wait, I missed this bit - how do you mean, left? Like, he's coming back right? RIGHT?
@@fallingwater He got a different job. They said he'll come back sometime as a guest but he doesn't work there anymore. Go back and watch the Celebration Cake Pass It On video. That's when they announced it.
@@fallingwater yeah he's left for a more traditional chef job but would still like to show up now and then as a guest.
@@fallingwater Eventually. But, as has been said; he's got a traditional chef-y job now.
I'm just glad they're still on good terms. Doesn't really happen on youtube
Mike: “Unpr’pped.”
Barry: “No, the other ‘E’.”
I literally died 😂
Hilarious 😂
I’m sorry you are dead now
R.I.P
It was more Jamie then Mike
Literally?
I think Ebbers finally proved he's "a bit of a lad" with selecting the flamethrower. How could we ever have doubted him?
That pan seems way overpriced for being...a pan. I have a 12" cast iron skillet that I bought new for around $30, and it has been an amazing addition to my kitchen. I'm not sure how basically machining out the inside so it's smooth makes it worth so much more. Lodge skillet ftw!
Not to mention most antique/vintage cast iron is very smooth. You can certainly find an antique cast iron pan for much less than $120 and it would require the same amount of upkeep.
@@johnnyCheeseburger Exactly. Also, that blowtorch looks super cool and all, but if it's going to warp the baking sheet like that every time you use it...that seems like a problem for the baking sheets.
@@opmaus I really think it's more of a "finish the dish" at the end of a get together than a normal kitchen implement myself. (Course if you have the kitchen for it why not). But on a porch or backyard it makes a lot of sense if you don't have time/space/fire for a full barbeque or whatever. Maybe get a wire rack or heavier tray Or warm them in the oven beforehand so the warping is less.
Omg thank you I thought I was the only one!! I was wondering why not guy a thrift store pan?? My mom got ne that we found out was around 100 yrs old and it's amazing!!
When I saw the flamethrower gun I thought, “that’s very American and I love it”
I love the cake pans warping from the heat of the flame.
I'm surprised they didn't talk about that ^^
I LOVE how mike is there HUGGING the fire extinguisher with a perfect blend of horror and fascination on his face 😂
A: Cold coffee
B: Fry Pan
C: FLAME THROWER
Anyone remember A or B after watching C?
When James comes back for a visit/video, I want to see how he’d react to that Su-V Gun/Flamethrower. 😄🔥
Did someone crowd fund a small 'Not a Flame Thrower ' and call it a Su-VGun? 👌🏽
Great video, but on a side note: It's so great to see you 4 together in the kitchen. I don't know why, but that image just got me after all this social distancing times. Lovely!
My first impression upon seeing the thumbnail: Omg is that a flamethrower?
1 second later: WAIT, WHO GAVE BEN A FLAMETHROWER do we not remember the coconut shredder?!
This has been a lovely couple videos for Jamie, first the Key Lime Pie, now the flamethrower of food, and both times his little face lights up like a child on bonfire night. I was rolling in my chair laughing as Ben had the time of his life turning the Flamenwuffer on some salmon.
Oh Barry, pretentious even in picking his gadgets 😂
He's got to live up to the name.
All jokes aside, the flame thrower is the exact level of gadge I truly appreciated you reviewing. And the cast iron. Thank you for accepting the medium level "normal" cold as well as the ones who can cook but are looking at "is is worth it" level of gear. Thank you all for what you do, on and off camera sorted crew.
You can get a Lodge cast iron that will be better pre-seasoned than the pan featured here for like fifty or sixty dollars.
I suspect the milling of the cook surface may even make sticking worse as possibly the slight uneven surface of a traditional cast iron pan works with the seasoning to reduce surface sticky area.
Bought a Lodge pan through Amazon UK last year for around 35 quid and ye, you are spot on with your assessment. Brilliant pan with a good reputation at half the price. Nuff said.
I suspect it's just a bad seasoning job. Most older cast irons are smooth and people never had an issue. Heck, the thin black steel pans a lot of kitchens use are smooth af. The roughness of new cast irons is mainly to cut costs, it doesn't really matter once you have a proper layer of seasoning on there and it's what has allowed cast iron to stay so cheap
I bought a cast iron skillet for around 30€, took a grinder to it cause I didn't like the preseasoning, re-seasoned it and it has been smooth, non-stick and a dream to handle ever since. Didn't have a fancy leather sheath though.
I can’t get my head around the fact that someone re-invented the cast iron pan and came up with a cast iron pan. I have a few different Lodge pans, you can’t go wrong with any of them.
Lodge casts it with itty-bitty bumps to make their factory seasoning stick better so you can cook with it straight out of the box, which they're really transparent about on their website and on the care instructions. Smooth pans work just as well with good seasoning, they're just a little harder to get good layers of seasoning on.
Can I say it's adorable that Barry and Mike traded holding and hugging the fire extinguisher?
A flamethrower in a kitchen. Nothing can go wrong there, right?
Or did the smoke alarm need testing and the test button was to difficult to reach?
Hilariously as an owner of a su-V gun there is mo9re smoke from a hot cast iron then there is from the su-V gun.
@@Chunkosaurus Yeah. And what about those new fangled mutli-burner gas stoves? Everyone is up in arms about those! No. Wait. My mistake. They've been accepted in kitchens for over 200 years.
@@christopherbiomass7155 People see big flames and think scary when it is powerful but easily controlled it is an extremely well designed device
That look at 13:43 that the lads share is the look of lads who know their chef mate is in his element and they are going to reap the rewards.
This episode is "Ben Having Fun". - The Su V Gun was probably an attempt to make an anti- Zombie weapon for the kitchen that won't get you arrested.
The flame thrower gun was actually made specifically for a RUclipsr who does Sous Vide experiments and wanted something to sear with that didn't mess up the perfect sous vide cook of meat. Prior to the gun he was using blow torches but a fan sent him a jerry rigged gun that he created for easier/"safer" indoor use.
@@organicgrains You're not per chance talking about Guga from "Sous-Vide Everything", right?
So I'm not the only one thinking it's a thinly-veiled Zombie Apocalypse weapon? Hopefully there's a "Z" setting on a dial, to give enough distance so you can light up a zombie before it gets closes enough to bite you.
@@RustyDust101 I am
Ebbers: *casually using a flamethrower as a kitchen appliance* Me: 'either chefs are extremely well trained on all types of blowtorch to make the creme breulle or Ben has some storys to tell'
I'd pick Suvi gun too. The Coldbrew gadget doesn't seem to add much to me for the price it has, and the Prepd skillet kind of failed the practical test despite being prepped according to the instructions, so the price feels very high and unproven (while the grip makes me worry it might just end up slipping out of my hand while handling it once grease gets involved!)... but the gun is both very effective at what it does, and an amazing product to to whip out at a gathering. Yeah, it is cheeky and there is probably a cheaper and/or better-performing product for what it does, but this one is all about the impression it leaves behind and it rocks it. That kind of added value is what I'd expect from something crowdfunded.
I have one of those Su-VGuns. It is amazing. Great show guys.
Prepped, without the "e"
My favorite Taking Back Sunday song
I'm assuming that the crew gave Ebbers a MAP-PLUS canister instead of a regular propane canister because they knew the flame would be 25% HOTTER THAN PROPANE.
Lodge make a perfectly serviceable pre-seasoned cast iron pan for a fraction of the cost. I'm with Ebbers on this one.
“We’re all tested” is an A+ segue that would not have made sense until 2020 happened
Prepd pan just seems like a knockoff of high grade stargazer cast iron pans at the same price.
Yeah the main advantage seems to be that it's less work to season than the cheap lodge ones
@@MtnNerd the stargazer pans are also machined to be much smoother with additional features to justify the premium price.
@@MtnNerd The secret to seasoning cheap cast iron pans is removing the seasoning by soaking in boiling water, and deliberately rusting the pan by leaving heavily salted water in it for a couple of days. Scrubbing it out with steel wool then rusting and scrubbing it out one more time before reseasoning. The controlled rusting process removes the high rough spots giving a much smoother finish.
@@alt5494 - I just used a random orbit sander with progressively finer grit.
@@JHNielson4851 That method works but embeds aluminum oxide and silica into the cast iron. The rust method sets the pan up better to become perfectly smooth over time.
I love how natural Ben looked wielding the flamethrower
I’m so happy for Mike because someone needed him to take a hiatus from all the espresso martinis and caffeine.
is that why his hands were so shaky in recent episodes?
@@heidisparklebottom Perhaps.
I got the flamethrower right from the beginning. Stunning. Amazing. Brilliant. Got the sous vide and the grill gun. Superb.
I love how the metal plate under the steak got deformed from flamethrower heat too.
Great job not falling for the marketing fluff. I like how you call superfluous gadgets out.
Did anyone else notice how the trays were bending with the heat?
Marcia, Marcia, Marcia...yes. caused some alarm...
Ben with the flamethrower is so hilarious i love it!! i laughed so hard my sides hurt now 🤣🤣🤣🤣 ... and i love how Ben is so honest in all his reviews, same for all of of you, so i know i really dont need a gadget for everything
A cast iron pan milled "smooth" that needs as much seasoning as a non milled pan and it costs 1/3+ more the the normal cast iron? They had people back that? I believe there's a quote attributed to PT Barnum or Mark Twain that may apply.
I'm surprised more people on the comments didn't talk about that. Gurentee the people who backed that were expecting a cast iron pan that didn't need to be seasoned. Whether or not thats what the Kickstarter promised, I dunno, but I bet that's what people thought it was about.
The milling smooth is a nice feature. I've done that myself with a cast iron pan and it does work really well. There's a reason people aren't manufacturing 'roughened' steel pans after all. And if you don't have the tools for it, I can see wanting to small pay a premium for that. You get better surface contact, and you get more even heat transfer sine you wont end up with little craters of thicker seasoning. That's not a big deal, or even necessary, but it's fine. It'll help it be a little more rust resistant as well. Basically some of the same logic as enamelled cast iron
It's still cast iron though, so it still needs seasoning. Being smooth doesn't help it be non stick either. It actually makes it worse if it's just bare cast iron. "sticking" is a material interaction between the two surfaces and if it'll stick improving the surface contact does not help that! The layer of polymerized oil is what makes it nonstick.
The thumbnail for this video is not only the best Sorted thumbnail, but possibly the best thumbnail on youtube!
got excited about having 'benny hill' style music over the experiment, but there was none
I really appreciate the way you explained the app in this video. I never really understood how it worked until now 😅
Ben looked like he was REALLY enjoying the um flame thrower. Lol
Absolutely love the energy of this vid
i'd never use it.. but they're all kinda toys and one of them is a flamethrower. It sorta wins by default.
Good to see all the guys eating together.
Boys haven’t struggled too hard since James left, love to see the engagement!
Mike clutching onto the fire extinguisher for dear life is what got me. And all of their facial expressions 😂😂
Loved this one boys, keep the flamethrower aside for when James visits 😉😋
"no, the other e" idk why i laughed so much at that 😂
Really liked the negative feedback on the products. It really felt like a real review. I don't know why sometimes theses reviews feel fake but this one is great
Thanks lads
If they don't blowtorch a pepper I don't know what to do.

I have the cold brew maker. I love it. It makes cleaning the ground easy. I uses the grounds for my plants.
As usual, Jamie is pure chaos, Barry falls for the pretty and pretentious, Mike is distracted by the shiny thing and Ben never fails to throw in a Bennuendo.
I agree with Ben. That torch looks like a bit of kit that gives you an experience, and he was genuinely having fun. I’d have the same silly grin if I was handed one of those.
I'd like the gun that way when I turned it on and yelled for everyone to get out of my kitchen they bloody well would. Power in my hands.
Not gonna lie, kinda impressed at the way Ben just wielded that flamethrower like it was no big deal whereas mike clung the fire extinguisher for dear life
We needed a pepper for that flame thrower and Baz to flame it!
This was awesome! My 14 year old boy spent a good chunk of the day trying to convince EVERYONE that they need the torch! Ben had loads of fun! Jamie was so happy! Barry and Mike...well, I just hope they had brought a change of pants 🤣
are we not gonna talk about how smooth ben's fake coin-toss was
The gun looks awesome. For sousvide steak I'd say a great accessory. Was there any propane flavor? That's my only concern. Butter in cast iron does three things: 1 smoke fills the house, 2 potentially keeps cooking the steak, 3 adds fat and potentially alters the flavor of the steak.
Its only been the last few decades that cast iron wasnt smoothed on the inside
I have my grandmother's caste iron frying pan. She received it as a wedding gift in 1918..it is fabulous..
I was gunna purchase tHe Prep’d cast iron, but they wouldn’t answer my Flour question on even heating…so I pulled out. However I did find an incredible Kickstarter gadget that was delivered…it’s called the Mannkitchen Pepper Cannon and while expensive is an absolute must have in m6 opinion for anyone who grills a lot or is just sick of a million pepper mill cranks.
Thanks for that, we will take a look at The Mannkitchen Pepper Cannon :)
@2:46 Aww, good on Barry for including Mike even tho he can't drink it ❤️
Is no one going to mention how that flamethrower warped the sheet pans the food was on?
They used MAPP gas. Its over as hot as propane(3,730c
That Su-V gun is INCREDIBLE. Bought one a while ago. And the grill-v is even better.
That last one is dangerous for in the house. Also.. did it actually warp the one tray that he did the salmon in with it? It looked like it.
it warped both trays, for the salmon and ribeye
and when dealing with fire, safety is always relative
obviously the boys shouldnt have used that near a wood counter but they did have a fire extinguisher nearby
when dealing with torches, make sure to use it away from anything that could catch fire or melt, and if indoors make sure its in a well ventilated area
