That is one big ass pot behind you.
Holy $h*t look at the size of that stock pot. How long does it take to get water in that to boil?
For Stainless Steel cookware, the best of the best is All-Clad. For cast iron cookware, I prefer Lodge.
yeah! So happy to see a real cook reviewing real cookware! My, how I miss a pro kitchen!
Both brands are amazing. All-Clad has a reputation for toughness and durability, the ability to heat very quickly and evenly, and will keep that illustrious finish for a very long time if properly cared for. While we love Le Creuset, their strength lies in their Cast Iron cookware lines.
Really good tutorial. I would replace both the cast iron and the non-stick with one 28cm carbon steel.
There are also small design differences that can have an effect on everything from how you handle the pot/pan, to how it fits your kitchen and intended uses. No one piece of cookware fits everyone perfectly. We suggest you determine your needs, kitchen space, stove type (induction, convection, etc.), and choose based on your personal preference.
I just bought a Paula Dean Ceramic Enamel set. I have used Teflon since I can remember. It's very scary to switch from that to stainless steel, but I think your suggestion to piece together my collection is great! I'm glad I didn't take the set out of the box. I'm going to return it and buy a cast iron skillet and start with a stainless steel saute pan. Hopefully I can figure out how to cook with them. Thanks for your help!
Hi Sally, thanks for your awesome comment! We appreciate feedback from our customers as well. If you have any questions or concerns about any of the product lines we carry, please don't hesitate to comment or contact us. Please subscribe to our channel as well! Thx, HB.
What size a dutch oven would be more versatile? 6 quarts or 8 quarts like the pot? Thanks so much! BTW, the All Clad 5 ply set of 10 has the exact same sizes you state here.
6 qt is a good size for a family of 4 or less. Larger families would do well with a larger pot. I'm glad All-Clad watched my video and made the set match. LOL. Keep in mind that although those pieces are good essentials, it really depends on how much you're cooking. A single person doesn't cook the same quantities as a family of 5.
Thank you! This is so helpful.
You're very welcome Emma Bezzina!
Hi Jay, thanks! Stop by anytime!
Hi, The Healthy Butcher! I really like this video! It is very helpful to everyone. You're doing a fantastic job! I will check more awesome and informative videos from your channel. Thank you very much.
Thanks for the video. After watching this I bought one of those Greenpans in the 10" version only for eggs. Its funny that you said that because I've only ever used my non stick (teflon) pan for eggs. I never knew there was another type of non stick pan. I love It so far.
Can you tell me what size that lidded Saute' pan is in front of that 8quart pot? It looks like it is nice and wide and fairly deep for the diameter. I'm guessing the two fry pans are 12 inch versions so was trying to guess by that but I figured I would just ask.
Great info! Ive always been against ptfe non-stick pans because of the health effects. I dont care what the manufacturers say but I don't want any of that in my food. Besides a stainless and cast iron lasts so much longer.
Why would you need a stainless steel frying pan if you get a cast iron from company like Staub that is easy to clean for day to day use? Is there an advantage to having both?
What was presented is pretty much what I've seen in every set I've looked at. I'll bet you save a substantial amount of money buying a set.
3:44 "just for the steak of..." hah ;)
What are your thoughts on copper cookware?
Copper and aluminum are the two dominant materials used as the conductive layer in high end cookware. The addition of these materials is for the transferring of heat. Stainless steel on its own is a horrible conductor, meaning you will have very inconsistent heating in your pan (or hot spots), resulting in food sticking and burning. Copper, no doubt, is technically a better conductor of heat. So when you see cookware that use copper, they are typically regarded as better. Unfortunately, copper is also much more expensive. The question is: Is the cost difference worth it? This is a difficult question to answer. In my personal experience, I don't find much of a difference between a good quality aluminum clad pan and one that is a copper clad - frankly, I noticed no difference. But to be truthful, I've never cooked for long periods of time using copper cookware, so I'm by no means an expert.
I was wondering, is there any quality/performance differences between the All Clad stainless steel and the Le Creuset Stainless steel pots/pans?
Cryptlord9999 Le Creuset and All-Clad are both amazing brands of cookware, although their specialities are in different areas; Le Creuset in enamelled cast iron, All-Clad in clad stainless steel cookware. Le Creuset fairly recently launched their clad stainless line... I believe in 2013. It's a high quality line, made in China (vs All-Clad are made in the US). Performance wise... Well frankly, it would be very difficult for anyone to test a difference between the two. In the stainless steel clad cookware category, All-Clad sets the bar. Certainly Le Creuset created a line that's arguable on par.
The Le Creuset Stainless steel says it is made in Europe, does not say it is made in China, also says on their website its made in Europe.
Awesome tips, thank u so much!
Hi, What brands that are good glass material, and ceramic material?
Thanks
Hi Jo, Teflon burnoff has been shown to release all sorts of nasty chemicals. We would advise against using any Teflon-coated cookware. GreenPan makes an amazing non-stick Ceramic fry pan. The whole line of Professional GreenPans are available from our cookware and knives website Slice And Sear [dot] com. We also carry great essential pieces to complete your kitchen! You're welcome! Thanks for watching.
Great video :)
Hi Xtreme, GreenPan makes a really great ceramic fry pan. We sell them on our cookware and knives site slice and sear [dot] com.
