1. That egg definitely wasn't burnt 2. The Martha Stewart pan is lighter, obviously it's going to heat quicker, and therefore cook the egg quicker. So it wasn't necessarily the fault of the pan, but your testing method.

@1lmp1 2 месяца назад

The reason why Martha Steward pan cooked the steaks faster is that the bottom is thinner. That is clearly the reason for the Caraway weighing significantly more. Thick bottom pans cook generally more evenly. But in everyday cooking and heating people want fast results. Since the Stewart pan heats faster, the cooktop temperature should be set about 25 degrees lower. Professional cooks prefer thicker bottoms. But the difference between the pans in everyday use is minimal, I say get the $8 pan and put the $80 in your pocket

Great review! I’d just like to add I have the Caraway pans for just over a year and I hate them. They’re mostly hype. Yeah they look nice and perform okay. But they loose their ceramic coating after a while and become harder and harder to clean after each use. Look at the Caraway in the video after a few uses and imagine what it would look like after a few months of use. Also the screws for the handles fell off 1 lid and 1 handle. This is after light use and handwashing (what they recommend). My $12 Walmart pan looks better and can go in the dishwasher. Just my 2 cents!

@KP-ty9yl 2 месяца назад

I have mostly switched to stainless steel pans because they last a lifetime. For anything that sticks I will use a cheap nonstick pan - since I'm only using the pan on occasion they last for years with the stainless doing most of the heavy lifting

@albert_vds 2 месяца назад

The lighter pan takes less energy to warm up, so that's why the steak was done fast. The Heavier pan retains heat longer, which only comes in handy if there is a huge temperature difference between the food and the pan.

I always let my pans cool before washing them. I remember reading that when I purchased new nonstick pans, but I googled it just to be sure. Ironically the first link that came up was from Martha Stewart. It said: “Always let pans cool completely before rinsing. The shock of cold water on the hot surface can damage the coating or cause the pan to warp over time.”

Idk if you allow a comment about another channel but Future Proof did a great video on ceramic pans and how they all fail over time due to the heat up process that expands the pans which breaks the coating down. So with this in mind, ya might as well buy the $9 pan as they'll likely both crap out about the same time. I don't ever share other channels but since the topic was pans I thought you might enjoy their "The Truth About Ceramic Cookware" video from a year ago. It was very informative and since their content doesn't compete with your's I thought I'd share it with you. Thanks for another great video

I remember reading up on these "ceramic" pans several years ago, after mine ceased being non-stick, less than 4 months after purchase. As I recall, the nonstick aspect is created by a coating of silicon in/on the cooking surface. It eventually wears out, as the silicon is given off in the cooking process.

Okay so I’ve had the Caraway set for about 2-3 years now and it’s the set I do most of my cooking with. I don’t put them in the oven although they are oven safe and when I do put them in the dishwasher, I use the normal setting, not the pots and pans setting. I use silicone or wooden utensils-no metals. That being said, while expensive, I feel that the Caraway set was a great investment for me. When my husband was alive, we had cheap pots and pans from the big chain retailers. They did what they did but my husband beat everything up with metal it utensils so you could see the wear and tear. Would I purchase the Caraway set again? Sure for my lifestyle however I would be willing to try the Martha Stewart brand as well. We’re all going to do what our budgets will allow us to do and we’re going to continue to love watching these Freakin’ Reviews ❤

I am glad it wasn't real expensive or I would have been more upset. I now check stuff like that in the store.

The proper test is to compare 1 expensive pan with 10 inexpensive ones alternating. I expect that after one or two years, the expensive one will be in the trash and most of the inexpensive ones will still be in use. It's almost always better to buy the inexpensive ones.

In general, I have been very pleased with any Martha Stewart products I have bought--from a quality standpoint. I'm not surprised that the Stewart pan did as well as the Caraway, and the cost difference would certainly make me get the Stewart pan. That said, I would probably use a stainless steel or cast iron pan for anything going in the oven. Thanks for the comparison.

My folks would buy the aluminum pots with plastic handles at the grocery or wally world for X amount and replace them every couple of years when the handles started to melt - gas stove use. I finally got them a decent, thick-bottom steel pot with good lid. I had bought an entire set of 3 pots, soup pot and steamer insert, and skillet - all with lids, for myself. That was 1996. Dad used that good pot until he passed about 2002. I still have the set and his one, they are still great. At the time, his one was about $45 or so (my whole set was under $200, which is why I got it - on sale!). If something will last and you can/will use it for several decades, get the good one.

Thing is, and i even see it in these demos, if you don't use enough liquid cooking oil to make a pool in non stick pans, it's always going to just slide away and collect to one side and away from the center. So the food hardly makes contact. Thats why I prefer to use butter on these things because you can evenly coat the entire pan with a reasonable amount of fat before laying the food down

@aegisofhonor 2 месяца назад

ceramic none stick has a definite shelf life, it is NOT like stainless steel that will last forever, eventually over time the ceramic wears out and eventually chips and no babying of the pan will prevent that from happening. The lifespan is in "uses" as well as "tempreture used at" so the more you use it, and the hotter you use it, the shorter it's lifespan will be. Even the very best top of the line ceramic pans will go bad in 2 to 3 years of heavy use. Less expensive pans will last shorter, but there is diminishing returns of spending more on slightly longer lasting pans.

@loriki8766 2 месяца назад

Better quality non-stick pans usually cost a lot more than cheap ones but they last a lot longer. Even so, all non stick pans need to be replaced every 2-7 years depending on pan quality. If you want a lifetime pan, go with a high quality stainless steel or cast iron pan.

As long as you have a general idea of how to care for them, they're safe to use, easy to clean, and cook well. Actually one of my frying pans looks (and nearly weighs the same) as that $90 model you tried. Difference I guess would be is that I bought a whole set with lids included.

I would love to see a review of some seasoned carbon steel pans, especially woks. This review was great. I had a similar experience with a Members Mark (Sam's Club) ceramic non-stick.

My experience with non-stick pans is that the cheaper ones go bad fairly quickly and the coating does not hold up,. I have some Calphalon pans that are five years old and are basically as good as new.

How did you know i was looking at coated ceramic pans and needed some help?? Thanks for the review!

For the cleaning, you could use Barkeepers Friend. It should be able to remove those stains. It works great on my stainless steel cookware.

Different thickness or quality materials on the bottom will determine how quick it cooks. Martha is obviously thinner, so heats quicker so cooking time should be compensated for. Have no idea how to determine that though!

I've used ceramic for years. They all work great at first. If you use them daily after awhile they tend to stick. They are considered tbrow-away pans. If u want long lasting pans use stainless steel. Cast iron is great but a lot of people don't like the work involved. A couple of ceramic pans are nice but wouldn't invest too much in them. A couple of tips when buying ceramic pans. 1. Make sure they have a disk on bottom for even heating. 2. Make sure the rim is metal and not coated with ceramic. Using a lid with it will chip or wear away the ceramic. Looks bad & where does that go? Maybe in your food?? This has happened to every ceramic pan I've ever purchase that didn't have a metal rim. Including a Caraway.

The difference is the Martha Stewart pan is cheap aluminum with a ceramic finish the caraway is most likely pressed steel with ceramic finish. The aluminum is thin causing certain foods to burn.

The trick to learning how to flip things in a skillet is practice. Get an old, junky pan from a thrift store, practice flipping $2 of quarters in it. When you can consistently flip all 8 without dropping any, you've mastered the skill. Alternately, you can flip tomato slices. (I picked up this trick from the 2010 Korean drama "Pasta." It actually works!)

5:26 Burnt ? Those are barely cooked lol, mine usually look like that or even darker and they are delicious every time lol

Try using Dawn Powerwash to clean them. I give my pans a spray with that when they are still warm, not hot, and then a rinse under hot water with a sponge and they clean up nicely.

Martha’s seems to dispurse the heat faster being thinner maybe and so overall u could set ur burner lower which i why theyd be difficult to clean burning something on!!

1st off. Always reconsider a light colored pan, no matter what the thing is made out of. In a matter of weeks, it will be stained. 2nd. I no longer buy expensive pans that I expect to last a lifetime. They are disposable after a few years, and I would rather buy a new one every few years or so instead of expecting it to be a heirloom and given to the next generation (do you hear that Le Creuset)?

I always buy my non stick pans from home goods, tj max, Burlington, ext. I figured I am willing to play less then $10 every 4-6 months over an over priced one even if it last a year. I also switched to non stick for my primary use pan and only really use a nonstick when I make eggs or pancakes.

@loveit7484 2 месяца назад

Great review. I love good pans but they cost. Heres what Ive found: if you just need an every day pan either will do the job. However, expensive pans with long term use are a delight to use cooking.

@Lantanana 2 месяца назад

I have heard that the front and back burner are not necessarily set to heat to the same temperatures at the same settings, so I am therefore a little distrustful when both are cooking at the same time, one on front, one on back. however, very interesting tests!

@susanjohnson9795 2 месяца назад

Making eggs " commando" don't burn your "bits"😄😅 Thanks for the laugh.😊

@Bryan-T 2 месяца назад

Either one will last the same amount of time. The only real difference is the thickness of the pan. You'd be much better off to get 11 of the cheap pans and throw em out as needed.

@Elizabeth-tg7jo 2 месяца назад

Yes, a question I’ve had for years. Pan fraud. 😊

@davidspearie6921 2 месяца назад

Could be that both pans made by same factory. "Martha Stewart " is a sold brand name just like " Craftsman".

@AzraelThanatos 2 месяца назад

Another thing with it is that the martha one is in white...which isn't quite a fair comparison with discoloration there. White makes anything stick out a lot more while the Caraway one is a darker color and thus hides it better

@amacaddict 2 месяца назад

It took me a while to decide to get a ceramic/stone pan instead of teflon. I bought one, and only days later saw an article that explained something I did not want to hear. Maybe like me you thought a ceramic pan was a metal pan with what we all think of as ceramic for the coating, and that's it. Unfortunately, that's not all it is. They are all proprietary coatings and could contain anything, but they are most certainly not just ceramic. Most if not all are a mix of ceramic, who knows what, and silicone oil. The oil oozes out as you heat it, and that it what makes the pan non-stick. Gross. And since there are no laws or oversight, especially ones that come from a lesser-known brand could contain anything they felt made the pan 'better.' I am less worried about Martha Stewart than some unknown brand on amazon, but the silicone oil, while maybe safe, is just off-putting, and not knowing what's really in them besides some ceramic and oil makes me not want them. I have turned to cast iron.

@Banagal 2 месяца назад

I agree; Caraway was number one, and Martha was number two. Time will tell for sure.

@patrykpatty5835 2 месяца назад

Would like to see how these stack up against a cast iron pan

@carlahabeck4051 2 месяца назад

With the Martha Stewart pan not being as heavy it makes sense that it would cook differently. Would need to adjust timeing and temperature for best results.
