    Of course that's what Alex would do.

    They are actually priced VERY reasonably. There are many brands that don't use silver or make their stuff by hand and cost more. I really want one of their sauce pans. I bet a wok would be great as well since you could get a lot of heat into the food without the thermal mass of iron. The heat could also spread up the side of the wok nice and evenly.

    • @darthplagueis13
      @darthplagueis13 4 роки тому +30

      In all fairness, one of the reasons why the price wasn't too bad is that the turkish economy is in a horrible state and the turkish lira has been suffering from severe inflation (mostly thanks to the turkish president Erdogan insisting that the base rate must not be raised whilst simultaneously scaring off investors with an increasingly aggressive, isolationist and pro-islamistic policy that has made turkey somewhat unpopular in international politics).
      If you can offer a foreign, more stable currency like the US-dollar or the Euro, you can pretty much always get really good prices in regions with a faltering local currency.

    • @BRUXXUS
      @BRUXXUS 4 роки тому +32

      I think a wok made like this would be like a totally new kind of cooking pan. I'm pretty sure the one of the benefits of the wok's shape and poor thermal conductivity is so you get SUPER high temps right at the bottom/middle, and a gradient of temps as you go up the side. Kind of gives you a variety of cooking temperatures to work with. :)

      @@SilvaDreams Yes, otherwise it wouldn't work with the induction. A chef that taught me has one of those and it's a nice pan, I'm probably going to visit their factory soon and replace one of my copper/stainless that is too small with one of their pans. Then in the end a multiply one would be giving really similar performance to copper ones, so if I get one is just for having a copper/silver pan.

    Mısr means metropol in Arabic and Egypt is mentioned as a metropol (Mısr) in Qur'an so Muslims call Egypt Mısır. Mısır Bazaar is the market of goods imported from Egypt mainly. Corn was unknown until America explored. Turks saw corn first in Egypt market so they named corn after this country, Mısır. In Turkish "Corn" and "Egypt" are Mısır. Like in English Turkey means both a country and a bird. Englishmen named this bird after the country Turkey because similarity of a bird they saw among Turks. And we call this bird Hindi means Indian because explorers thought they found India when they landed America.
