    Bring back Lisa's old-style review videos!!!
    I'm not sure about others, and nothing against Hannah, but I prefer Lisa's old-style review videos. They seemed to go through much more thorough, and empirical testing, as opposed to these show-style review videos. Those older videos have helped me make some buy-it-for-life choices, and I couldn't be more thankful.
    You have a winning formula in Lisa's older videos. Bring them back, please!

      In another test they scraped 8-inch nonstick skillets with metal spatulas to test durability. OXO won that test as well. (As far as safety goes, once applied and cured, PTFE is non-reactive. If you were to eat little particles of it, it would pass straight through your system. The danger of PTFE is in the toxic gas it emits if over-heated. As long as you never heat an empty pan on high heat, and don't let one boil dry when cooking, you're fine.)

    @davehan241 4 года назад +5

    "This really tests the mettle...metal :-D of the pans."
    I think the cinder block test could be more consistent. At 7:55, It looks like the Misen skillet was only slammed flat onto the top of the cinder block, whereas every other skillet was slammed onto the edge. Maybe slams can be classified into these types:
    1. Slam bottom of skillet onto flat top of cinder block: Maybe this tests overall build construction, handle jiggle, chipping.
    2. Slam each of the curved sides away from the handle onto the top of the cinder block: This seems like THE most likely way pans would fall. Maybe this direction of fall is most likely to produce slight warping?
    3. Slam bottom of the skillet onto the edge of cinder block (current method): I can't think of a home kitchen scenario where a pan falls and hits a solid edge like this. Even if a solid edge like this was around...wouldn't the pan most likely impact at an angle vs flat bottom? This seems like the most abusive test, thus if a pan can survive it you know it's durable, but I seriously question whether this current method is a good test.

    LMAO I literally emailed ATK a complaint on this yesterday. They've recommended the Oxo 12" for years. Bought one in Oct 2018 after their recommendation. At the time their recommendation was the non-pro; same pan, but handle was not oven-safe. We bought the pro so we could put it in the oven if we want. By December the warping was so bad I had to file a warranty complaint. Oxo was good (though they forgot about my ticket for a few weeks) but the replacement was again too warped by early spring. Bummed.
    We have the small (6"?) version that hasn't had the same problems, it gets used almost as much. FWIW we cook on a glass-top electric, I think ATK doesn't test on these. No problems with other pans.

    • @Boyetto-san
      @Boyetto-san 4 года назад +6

      I've seen proof that electric and induction stovetops do tend to cause warping because they concentrate heat at the center of the pan (whereas gas spreads the heat outward because of the fire). If it's the larger sized pan that's warping, it may be because the hotspot at the center causes a big enough temperature differential with the outer edges.

    I've been using a set of Calphalon(1390 series) non stick skillets for 4 years with absolutely no problems.
    They were like 25 dollars for the pair and the lid from my Calphalon dutch oven fits perfectly on the 12" skillet.
    I brown meat in them,make omelets and frittatas, fry and poach fish and finish off dishes in the oven.
    No warpage or loss of coating at all.I use nothing but wood or silicon tools on them and cook with very small amounts of fats(olive oil or butter).
    Banging a pan on the edge of a cinder block is a pretty useless test btw.

    The All Clad is about $150 if you can get it on sale at Williams-Sonoma and the Oxo is $40. Since non-sticks don't last more than a couple years, buy 4 Oxo pans for the price of one All Clad. About 10-15 years ago, All-Clad used to have a lifetime warranty on their non-stick pans but I haven't seen that promoted by them in ages so it might not apply anymore or it may have even just applied to the usual defects in workmanship and materials and not everyday wear and tear on non-stick. No way you should buy an All Clad non-stick if you're just going to get rid of it in 2 years.

  • @moremustard
    @moremustard 5 месяцев назад

    Wanted to drop my feedback here, 14 months after watching this and buying the recommended OXO skillet. I just made a warranty claim to have it replaced. I babied it, only hand washed it with a soft sponge, never went in the dishwasher, never above medium on the burner, and nothing but silicone ever used in it. This was my French omelette pan, although I used it for a few other things, gently. After about a year, small bits of the surface began rising in tiny little dots, and these dots would come off if you picked at them gently with just a sponge or the edge of a silicone spatula. That means they could potentially be getting into the food prepared in this pan. The surface was unmarked, and at first glance appears new because I took such good care of it. Oxo seems to agree this must be some sort of defect, and has offered to replace it with a different product, a Chatham ceramic pan, which I will try, although expectations are low to medium. Just wanted to share my experience with the recommended pan: not so great. Also, because it's just aluminum, heat distribution is terrible. The Chatham I am replacing it with through the warranty claim has a stainless steel 3 ply body, which will provide superior heat distribution.

    During a service call for our dishwasher, the service technician saw our Wolf induction stove top and warned of the damage to the cooktop done using frying pans with disk bottoms. He told us that the disk bottoms are often ‘too small’ for the electromagnetic energy being used on them. This results in damage to the electromagnetic coils and will cause them to fail sooner than if a tri-ply fry pan is used. I have tried to verify this opinion online without success. Could you comment on this as buying $250 All-clad pans with the idea of discarding them in 3 years seems so wasteful. Thank you.

    I love a good non-stick fry pan.
    I like the commercial grade pans you can get from restaurant supply stores.
    Back around 2002, I picked up a nice 12" pan from Walmart (Canada), made by Wearever. It had the perfect slope at the sides for flipping omelettes, good non-stick quality, (until my girlfriend got hold of it), and it had a nicely shaped rubber padded handle.
    Can't count the number of times I came home to the smell of burning Teflon! Made her buy me another one, but the handle design was changed a little bit. That pan was MY pan and she was forbidden to use it.
    Guess how long that lasted...
    I still have both pans, (I can't throw out anything useful). The newer one is still OK for some uses, but don't even try and cook eggs in it.
    She bought me a new pan from Paderno a few years back. It's OK, but the sides are shaped in a way that makes it impossible to flip an omelette. Also, the red surface has picked up bunch of small scratches, not sure why as I baby my non-stick pans, and she has not had access to this one. I might have a look at the OXO pan if they still make the one you used. But it has to be able to flip a 6 egg omelet!

    In my opinion, all Americans should go out and support Ecolution cookware, they are environmentally friendly and make great pans for a great price. I got mine from Ross, but they're on Amazon as well. Don't waste your money trying to impress people by buying a name brand, a good nonstick pan does not have to be expensive, you can easily buy a good nonstick pan for under $20 these days. I bought my 12" Tramontina for $3.xx and have no complaints(and I'm very picky about cookware), it works very well, and when it goes bad I'll just head back to the thrift store and get another pan. I actually got a couple All-clad pans for $10 apiece not that long ago, and a Le Creuset enameled cast iron baking pan for under $10. Don't waste your money buying overpriced stuff. I bought Anolon pans at Macy's when they went on holiday sale a few years back, and I swear, they were no better than my $20 pans from Costco, in fact, I returned them because they weren't worth the money, and I coveted those pans for three years before finally taking the plunge.

  • @openreels

    Hi, I came across this at a good time because we're tired of fighting with our Analon 12" pan. The first was replaced by the company because it warped, and the second one did too. Plus it's really hard to clean--nothing sticks to it... except oil. And too heavy. But we liked it because it has a rubber-insulated handle! Why on earth would anyone want a pan with metal handle for cooking on a hot surface??? I cannot figure out why the metal handle became a "thing" in cookware, it's ridiculous. Hopefully the sales cycle will come back around soon to insulated.

    • @beastleviath9356
      @beastleviath9356 3 года назад

      Likely the fact that they are oven safe? Many of my recipes involve searing and baking, and it’s a huge time saver to just toss the skillet in the oven. I’ve not had issues with them getting hot (at least not on the stovetop)

    • @openreels

    Why do NONE of these testers test the most important factor, non stick over time. I cook omelettes for my clients a few times a week.

I care about how long I can use it for omelets before I have to buy a new one.

    Ladies, you REALLY need to have a lab in the test kitchen for the durability tests. This way, you can have staff engineer machines that do the testing in a repeatable, consistent manner. I noticed in the cinderblock test, some of the pans were whacked more on the edge of the block, and some were whacked more on the flat surface of the block. You can change the results by how much of the force is spread out across the surface. By having a machine that whacks the pan for you, you can control where it's impacting the block, what angle it's hitting the block at, the amount of force used, etc.
    The other benefit is machines don't tire out and need breaks, unlike humans.

      @@jackielinde7568 I got that, but with maybe 20 years of cooking experience, I think I can say that I cannot remember having ever dropped a pan, ever, but I guess that's just me. I have had one or two fall on occasion though, once from the counter and once when my plastic hanging hook broke, but have never dropped a pan to the best of my recollection.
      If they want to use the back of the pan for something, they can use it to crush nuts or make crumbs, bread crumbs, cracker crumbs, heck, I've used the back of a fry pan to break ice, but bashing it against a cinder block has very little if any validity for real-world use in my opinion.
      If they want to test the long term durability of the pans, they should do that, use the pans over weeks, months years, and see how they fare, they have the time and resources to do that, they don't need to abuse the pans the way they did to test them, it's not practical. America's Test Kitchen has been around for something like 20 years I think, there's no reason a test like this needs to be done in days.

And priced accordingly. I've had to replace over the years a number of "early marriage" kitchenware and tools that were gifted to us or we bought when we were just starting out in life and just needed a tool, with the OXO brand 2:1 for its quality or good design. Just bought a OXO garlic press after the flimsy basket from my last press ended up ground up in the disposal.
