    The concern I see with this nowadays is that China has bought some US businesses. For instance, Smithfield - bought one of their hams lately? I’m not sure about cookware, but we have reached a time when just looking for the “made in the USA” label is no longer enough. We also need to check out who owns the company now too. 😢

      Same here in Europe. One tactic I particularly dislike is the Chinese acquisition of a European company, then move the manufacturing to China and leave a token ‘design’ office back in Europe.
      Inevitably the product is much poorer quality, usually no cheaper and the gullible public fall for it.
      You get what you pay for and company ownership and country of manufacture is so important for a quality product.

    I look for these brands at thrift stores. Often, you find an unseasoned cast iron, which can be reseasoned. Or, stainless steel with burned on grease, which can be removed by putting the pan in a sealed bag with ammonia and leaving overnight. I’ve created a collection of great pans at a tenth the price.

      Kind of jealous tbh. I scour every thrift store in the area looking for pans and it's always cheap, warped stuff with handles about to fall off. An antique store near me had a great selection of Griswold and I got the one needing the least amount of work but man were they expensive considering they'd need an entire restoration. Hopefully that changes soon

      I love to treasure hunt at thrift stores too. Through the years I have found nearly 30 vintage collectable cast iron pans (Griswold, Wagners, and Birmingham) that are more than 60 years old. They're even better than modern Lodge and they're not made anymore. I have also found 2 pieces of Le Cresuet at thrift stores. My collection is probably worth thousands but I only paid a few hundred for everything. 😉

    The Canadian company Paderno makes very good Stainless Steel cookware. The Canadian Padermo plant was opened on Prince Edward Island in 1979 and Paderno still makes its cookware there today. They sell both sets and individual pieces, and offer direct sales through their web portal, as well as purchasing through kitchen suppliers. I own pieces from two of their lines, the "Canadian Signature" and "Canadian Professional." I received my first Paderno pieces as gifts, and have since bought a full set and individual pieces. Meyer Canada also makes very good Stainless Steel cookware at its Canadian factory, and it's excellent.

    On French cookware, I think carbon steel skillets by DE BUYER are worth mentioning. Funnily, there is no mentioning of German cookware (even though STAUB, Ballarini and de Meyere are owned by Zwilling). Maybe these brands are not available in the US, but WMF, Zwilling, Fissler, and Woll are worth mentioning. The Swedish brand Skeppshult is renowned for its cast iron skillets (which are actually no better than Lodge 😁).

    Check also those 3 European companies: DeBuyer from France makes fabulous cookware too. Made in France. DeBuyer is an old company, established in 1830 and best known for carbon steel cookware, but they also have other lines of products. Turkish company Lava manufactures high quality cast iron cookware, much like LeCreuset and Staub, but in a price range of the Lodge. The best European enameled cookware is produced by very old Austrian company Riess, its roots dating back to 1550. Today a ninth generation of the Riess family runs the company which started a production of porcelain enameled cookware back in 1922.

    Several years ago a friend of mine who is a chef told me he had recently seen a documentary about cookware that said that the reason the Mexicans living in America have less health problems than Americans is because they cook everything in cast iron cookware. Evidently enough iron leaches off the cookware into the food that it helps build blood health. There are probably other trace minerals along with it. My buddy said he prefers cast iron cookware because it makes even heat in the whole bottom of the pan or pot, whereas pots and pans made from other metals tend to have hot spots and cooler spots.

      You claim @ 9:34 that Scanpan cookware with a stainless steel surface is made in China.
      I own a set of nine Scanpan Coppernox pieces - a copper core sandwiched between two layers of aluminium enclosed in s/steel. According to Scanpan and the embossing on the pot/pan bases, they are made in Denmark.
      They are almost as heavy as my cast iron pieces; the largest two I cannot lift with one hand.
      I refuse to have anything with a PFOA coating in my kitchen. With correct care, my Coppernox units have never had food stick to them (perhaps because I've never burned anything in them). I cook on gas.

      Only problem is the handles deteriorate when pan is used on gas stove. I had no problems on electric stove. The company will replace the handles, but you have to pay shipping. Also, you have to send them the ruined handle or they won't do it on warranty, they will charge for new. Salesmen don't tell you that when you fork over a king's ransom for the set.

In short, no non-stick coating will last forever, but ScanPan's STRATANIUM+ is more durable (and better for searing) than most. In terms of induction, the best stainless steel cookware is Demeyere Atlantis collection. The base is made of 3 layers of specially formulated alloys to ensure even heating and increase induction efficiency by 30%. They refer to these three layers as TriplInduc.

    I wish you could reveal what blend of stainless steel each of those products contains. I avoid nickel due to its toxicity. I believe the only stainless steel that does not contain nickel is 400 stainless steel. Difficult to find and also difficult to keep clean. Also, I have heard that some of the French enamel cookery contains some lead in the enamel. So hard to find detailed accuracy in these concerns.
