Does stainless steel cookware really last forever? Is it as durable as everyone says? Are thicker pans actually better? And do you need a ton of oil and butter to cook eggs without sticking, or is everyone just doing it wrong? I've tested and reviewed dozens of brands, and in this video, I break down the nine most common myths about stainless steel cookware. You'll find out which myths are true and which ones you can stop believing.
Thank you to Made In for sponsoring this video. I’ve been recommending Made In since I first tested their pans in 2018. If you’re just getting into stainless steel or looking to upgrade, they are one of the best brands you can buy.

Is the aluminum core exposed around the edges on the heritage steel pans like it is with the all clad pans? Or is the final outer layer of stainless steel completely cover the pan?

@PrudentReviews 16 дней назад

@@Diggi556 It's exposed. However, they polish the edges pretty well so they are not as sharp, they are slightly rounded. It's hard to tell the difference in a picture/video, but you can feel it.

I wanted to thank you for opening me to stainless steel cookware and other great things. Your objective reviews and straight forward videos without all the jump cuts in other channels. Your reviews and tests are as enjoyable as ones made by ATK. Genuinely amazed how you keep pouring this content out.

I purchased a made in skillet when it was a start up company and made in the USA. Recently it turned into a spinner. I sent in a warranty claim expecting a run around. I was astonished (and disappointed) to receive a brand new pan. Was disappointed in that it was heavier and no longer made in the USA. Haven't used it yet. I purchased misen pans which have become my daily user's.

@sportsonwheelss 2 дня назад

Made in the US is better since it warp. Why use non US made pan that is heavier and doesn't spin.

I just picked up a 12 inch stainless steel pan from Misen. I like it a lot. Can you do some reviews on those? 😀

@madthumbs1564 19 дней назад

Don't need the high heat if you season the pan. Also, you should test heat retention vs heat recovery for cooking steaks. (3mm vs 5 vs cast iron). - With Chris Young's video about not needing a ripping hot pan in mind.

@PrudentReviews 19 дней назад

When you say “season”, are you referring to seasoning like a cast iron pan - baking oil into the pan? I get a lot of questions/comments about seasoning stainless steel and if it does anything…might be time to do a video on that.

@madthumbs1564 19 дней назад

@@PrudentReviews Yes, I think it was Halle Cottis that had the best video on that. The pan stays silver (doesn't turn black like cast iron but may get some light spotting). Julia Child's spatula free omelete works perfect (did it first try) and she claimed a non-stick pan was necessary. The seasoning process is quick and easy on stove top (thanks to clad's even heating). -Thanks for all the great work you've done btw!

@SMS38i 15 дней назад

A bit heavy on the made in advertising, but otherwise good info. Made in is ok, my made in pans have a slight warp or dome to the interior . If you use only a little oil/fat, it will immediately run to the edges, so you have none in the middle. I’ve seen other similar complaints. Sometimes made in responds that it shouldn’t happen, sometimes they say it’s by design. You can see if you read the lower reviews on their website. I don’t consider made in a budget brand. My all clad d3 pans are cheaper than the equivalent made in. All clad has many more sales/discounts. I’ll admit, the original all clad d3 handle design is not ideal. But no warping for me.

With my own experimentation I found that, at least for me, just .5 grams of oil (with a pulverizer) and 1.5 to 2 grams of butter is more than enough to cook an egg, and even two.

@lisagregory5515 19 дней назад

Question: I've never had a stainless steel pan, but am inspired by your videos to buy one. I've read online that you can also put the oil/fat in and slowly raise the heat to create a nonstick surface. For a novice stainless cook, can I use either method or just the heat, water drop, then low heat and oil/fat? Thanks! Love your videos!

@PrudentReviews 19 дней назад

Thank you so much for watching and supporting! I think you should definitely give stainless a try. You certainly can put the oil in and heat up the pan slowly. The problem with that is the oil is heated for a longer period and can sometimes get too hot and start to burn before the pan is ready for the food. With eggs, I always heat the pan first. With meat and other foods, you don’t need to be as fussy.

@madthumbs1564 19 дней назад

There's no need for any other kind of pan. He doesn't cover it, but you can season stainless also. - Don't need the heat trick for that.

Hi I enjoyed your video about how to cook eggs, it is wonderful with measurements and all. I have done pancakes (Danish pancakes) without butter in stainless steal perfectly, the only thing I can't seem to be able to do is to fry cooked potatoes in a stainless steal. Could you make an informative video and tips about how to fry cooked potatoes? That will help me a lot.

Can you do a review on Caldero's? I think we all might find that interesting! Sure they're aluminum and not stainless, but I know plenty of home cooks who swear by them and won't cook rice without em'! Just a thought. Love the channel. A few brands/models I've seen highly recommended are Uniware 9900, and the IMUSA. I own both, and they're both awesome! But still plenty different!

@TheBooban 19 дней назад

Once you turn the heat down to low, it is no longer the high heat needed for the leidenfrost effect. So cooking like this makes no sense. It is a myth you can cook non stick like this.

@sandrafournier8196 19 дней назад

That has not been my experience. Sorry it doesn't work for you.

@PrudentReviews 19 дней назад

Any decent pan will retain that heat for at least a couple of minutes, which is plenty of time to cook an egg. If you don’t turn the heat down, the temp continues to rise and it gets too hot.

@TheBooban 19 дней назад

@@sandrafournier8196 could you explain why you need high heat for the non stick effect, but you can then lower it and it remains? Besides it being 100% the effect of all the oil and butter added since then.

@@TheBooban the instructions in the first part of this video are for eggs. With those other foods, sticking isn’t as much of an issue so don’t need to be as concerned with the temp.
