On this channel we mainly talk about cookware. We look at the technicalities and science of each piece of cookware to a level not usually seen elsewhere. We don't just look at the cookware itself, we look at how it will work with your kitchen setup at home.
We do cookware reviews, first impressions, we look at the value proposition of each piece, and sometimes we do cooking tests.
Most importantly, there is no "political correctness" on this channel. Everything we say is 100% our honest and sometimes "brutal" opinion.

Le Creuset Grill Pan - Second Test
In the first review I did for this pan, I was not very successful at getting the grill marks on the steaks. A few people commented that I was using too much oil, so in this test we will use a lot less oil and see if we have anymore success.

What about a sauté pan?
Does sauté pan need all clad? Or is a disk ok?
@@Ryan-yj4sd no saute pan doesn't need to be fully clad.
@@mq46312thanks. I have induction and recently got disk bottom sauté pan and sauce pot. It should be good?
Had one and the grinder just cracked from the middle after couple of days. Le Creuset has some nice products that can last, but this just isn't the same quality as some of the others.
Hopefully you got it replaced under warranty.
So, conclusion is that, if you use induction cooktop, a disc bottom pan will be better than a fully clad pan, because it is thicker, and there is no ring-of-fire effect on the side wall?
You won't get scorching (ring of fire) with induction.
Very detailed and nice review. Would you please test the temperature changes when you put food into these 2 hot pans? I guess the Demeyere would keep the heat better.
@@VanNguyen-dd7up yes the Proline will definitely have a smaller temperature drop.
@mq46312 thanks for your reply. Do you think the Ikea Sensuell is better than All Clad D3, give it is much thicker? Maybe 3mm is too thick for tri-ply pans, and therefore all other brands construct 5 layers or 7 layers for their thicker lines instead?
@@VanNguyen-dd7up No the IKEA Sensuell is thinner. 3mm is not too thick for tri-ply. All Clad is 2.6mm.
@@mq46312 Ikea Sensuell 3mm is the Aluminium core, while All Clad D3's alu core is 1.7mm.
Are those small circular indents inside your pots where the handles are? Is this normal on Demeyere pots?
Your pan is dirty 😁
Verbose. About 30 seconds of information here.
I don’t like the design of the top it’s like the garbage can top
Looks like a pot to me
I really wonder though, wich pan releases the most toxic particles in the food, after all this is the most important.
Hi, I recently purchased a BK identical to yours and I am very satisfied with how it behaves on the stove even for three or four hour long cooking. The only big flaw for me is that I can't find information on where it was manufactured so if I spent 100 euros for a product made in Europe I am very happy if it was made outside Europe instead I am very disappointed I am still waiting for a response from the company to which I sent this question by email. I apologize for my English translated with Google
I bought 10 demeyere pots and pans, been using them daily for 2 years now, no issues at all. Also have another 2 older ones, with no rivets, after 10 years they still look like new. These are the best pans on the planet, full stop. They also come with a 20 years warranty. Rivets suck!
Whenever I crack egg on a flat surface, it breaks vertically. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
@@nosound5903 mayhe you are using too much force. Gently tap the egg on the flat surface, don't slam it on the surface.
Get a gas stove obviously preventing the pan from heating correctly it works get job done but definitely doesn't do it very well
That looks much better. I like to bake hamburgers and sausages in the creuset grill pan and the meat loses a lot of fat when grilling. Nevertheless I also bake much more often in my Demeyere proline so I understand you.
For their grill pan, Demeyere recommends oiling the food and not the pan.
I assume that's the SS Industry 5 grill pan. A bit too thin I think, not really sure that it really holds enough heat for grilling.
Not 3 ply or 5 ply , why the base is attached?
Where is the copper core , in the 5 ply?
Most informative video I’ve ever seen on this topic! I bought a Cuisinart 15-piece Stainless Steel set about 15 years ago and the set is not fully clad. It has served us well over the years. I just recently found out the difference between fully clad and disc bottom and watched a few videos on it and your video my feed. Excellent analysis! Thank you!
@@cliff.frankenberger glad you find it helpful :)
Super !!!!! Used it for several years
The D3 is still the saute pan all others are judged by. After four decades. Nuff said.
There isn’t a vent hole on the lid of the stock pot?
@@beri232 no vent hole
It's a grill pan. Use less oil if you want grill results.
I think you would have achieved better results if you let your pan heat up a lot more than what your video shows. I have two Lodge grill pans plus a Lodge reversible grill/griddle and it took me a few tries to really understand that you need to heat them more than you would a regular cast iron pan.
The grill marks will show up when you grill your meat, not fry it. You were frying your meat in oil. A grill pan is used without oil. Heat it up really well, then add the meat. Leave it in the pan until it releases by itself. If done right, you should not have anything left in the pan to make any pan sauce. I have a enameled cast iron griddle from Lava and a cheap enameled cast iron grill pan from lidl. After grilling, I just spray some active foam on them, and then scrub them bristle brush. It's black enameled, it can handle it with ease. Every thing comes off with not much effort. Personally I would not pay that much for a grill pan. A cheap Lidl enameled cast iron grill (20€) is more than enough or a 2 burner griddle would be even better.
I heated it the pan up quite high, but I'll try it with less oil to see if the grill marks come out better.
Your meat is frying in a layer of oil as in a regular frying pan. This way you never get grill marks. With grilling you only apply a thin layer of oil to the meat and you grease the ridges in the pan a little.
You might be right. I'll give this a try.
@@mq46312 Dude bought a "GRILL PAN" and ends up frying steaks. Boggles the mind. These pans are supposed to emulate a grill so you only need minimal oil and let heat do its work.
I'm still trying to figure out why they put pour spouts on these pans? Can you get grill marks on your gravy? Also "burner" instead of "hob"? Are we Americans becoming a bad influence on you?😜 For the record, these pans make really cool grilled cheese sandwiches. Much easier to get the kids to eat their lunches.
I can imagine these pans might be good for grilled cheese. I'm somewhat lactose intolerant, that's why I didn't try to do a grilled cheese. Before I used to say "hob", but now I say burner because I thought some people might not know what hob means :)
I have 5 Apollo and one industry. I think Apollo has the best price quality. Industry has the best looking but heavy and heat up very slow. Atlantis is way too expensive
If you do ever sell the Mauviel let me know! (also based in NZ)
I have a 2 handled 4qt Ruffoni stainless steel braiser (rondeau,) and I absolutely love it! They no longer make the 4 qt .... only 5 and 7 quart. I wish they made a slightly larger, but shallower 7 qt ! (Larger cooking surface.)
Yes if given the opportunity I would love to try out the Ruffoni. The SS series (Opus Prima) also has a very good thickness of 3mm.
@mq46312 I got lucky. This was sitting on a clearance shelf at a discount store....brand new....$80. Probably because they were discontinuing the 4qt size.
@@suran396 Is that the Opus Prima line?
@mq46312 no. I have the symphania Prima line. I see no point in the Opus. A ton more money for a fancy handle......
Hi, may I ask you a question ? I d like to know the dimensions of those pans ... for example it says 28cm but is that the outer diameter ? in that case what is the size of the bottom of the pan ? I am lookin to possibly buy one but cant decide what size I can comfortably use on our cooktop (biggest cooking "circle" is 22,5 cm )
The Proline pans are much bigger than their official size suggests. The 28cm has an outer diameter of 30.5cm, and a bottom flat diameter of approximately 22cm.
@@mq46312 Wow ok . If the bottom is 22 then it should fit. Many thanks : )
Frying pans are great for frying eggs. Easily to flip.
This style is still very very popular in Asia, in Hong Kong for 26 cm right now is selling for US$353. The black enameled interior has heat resistance and retention, great for quick stir-fry. I will use it like a wok. Enjoy it you get a great find.
By the way, I live in Spain in case you can recommend the thrifty sales.
I’m curious to know where you find the those thrifty prices for le creuset (I’m a big fan) I have several pieces but U paid full price for them. I also discovered the Demeyere line which I can not afford and would like to buy a frying pan at a good price.
Just check the Le Creuset Espanã website once in a while. A few times a year at least they'll have sales. I just checked it now and there doesn't seem to be a sale currently. Or just Google Le Creuset Tazas, other retailers may have sales as well. For Demeyere I usually buy from Bestsale.be (Belgium). They always have the best prices, but their after-sales service/support is terrible. I think for orders over 100 euro the shipping is free. When I lived in the Netherlands I was usually able to receive my orders the next day, as I was very close to their location in Belgium.
@@mq46312 Thank you for the information. We have an outlet store for le cruset in Barcelona but not for Demeyere that is sold by Zwilling.
Merry Christmas to you also 🎄🥂🍾🎉🎊🎉
The cookstar bottom is 7 mm thick in total and uses a 5.4 mm aluminium disc. At least that's the official info for the 28 cm pan. And usually the thickness is the same for alle sizes, but I haven't gotten an answer on that matter yet.
Some insight regarding the naming convention. In Germany (where Fissler comes from) the default size is called "Kochtopf", which translates to cooking pot 😅 The taller version would be a "Suppentopf" = soup pot, although Fissler doesn't follow this for their naming. Most households only own the default one in different sizes (16, 20 and 24 cm), one large soup pot and frying pans. For braising or roasting they might have a non-stick cast aluminium roaster. Those low stainless steel saute pans with 2 handles and large diameter are not so common as e.g. in the US.
I so agree with you about Le Creuset and their money grab products! I was surprised about the plastic part of the grinder. I can be hard on my grinders, it it’s great to know they have a 10 year warranty. I will buy it on sale, Ute not at full price like you. The green is a pretty color.
the the millstones seams to be ceramic? i have peugeot ones, they have steel mills. the ones for salt ares diferent. be carreful, the salt can damage mills if they ares not made to work with it
Yes the grinding mechanism is ceramic. I put Himalayan salt in one of them.
Nice mugs. Surprised to see you do a review for anything but a pot or pan! 😁 I was wondering if these cups retain heat longer and keep tea or coffee hot longrr than regular mugs.
@@stacistaci6657 no they don't seem to. Good quality but still just a ceramic mug.
The latest Midrats podcast discussing the Navy’s icebreaker program says this… - “Are you curious how our plan to replace them is making the LCS program look like a successful and well-run program ?”
Two year later and this still the best comparison for these top-end product. Gotta get myself a fissler soon, if only wifey approve it. Haiya~
Definitely keep the Mauviel! I was fortunate to cook with several pieces when I worked at a cooking school and it's my favorite brand. Very collectible.
Yes I plan to keep it at least for now. If I let it go I'll probably never find a piece like this again, especially in NZ.
Can I know how many people do you cook for normally?
Usually one but up to three.
@@mq46312 I see. interesting. I am also mostly cooking for one, occasionally two three portions. But I lean heavily towards 1L, 1.5L, 2L and 3L, occasionally5.2L for soups. looks like we cook very different things.
@@MashaLo88 I prefer to make my food in big portions so I can either eat it for 2-3 days or freeze them for later.
Great point about the iPhone/Android for $1000-$1600 and how purchasing quality heirloom cookware is a bargain compared to the smartphone depreciation and usefulness.
@3:46 is SO TRUE ! That’s not even bringing in the other dozen or so top of the line 5-ply sets. Ontop of that, a regular consumer like myself, have to research and educate ourselves between the 3-ply, some 4-ply’s, the 5-ply, and there’s even 7-ply. [Just within the stainless steel arena] - There’s other considerations to weigh…do the handles get hot, sealed or unsealed rim/edge, curved lips, different finishes, etched measuring marks, oven rated or not, and on and on. I’m a guy, and choosing which set to go with is worse than choosing ties in the men’s store, or glaring helplessly at the cereal isle at your local supermarket !
@1:06 He says ‘top of the range product line’ Lol 😝
If you understood braising, you would understand the lid….please do your research before trying to be an expert on cooking pans
@@tearose3763 you know a lot of restaurants just use stainless containers for braising right? Mayhe you should tell them all to get proper braisers :)
