Raw Craft with Anthony Bourdain - Episode One: Borough Furnace
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 вер 2024
- Anthony Bourdain and The Balvenie visit Borough Furnace in Syracuse, New York, a metal casting workshop founded and operated by couple John Truex and Liz Seru in 2011. The skillets are handcrafted individually in small batches, using a traditional casting process that has been updated for environmental responsibility. One skillet takes approximately 6 to 7 hours from start to finish. John makes all of his own equipment. Each skillet is cast in a “skilletron,” a barrel-sized metal melting furnace that burns Waste Vegetable Oil at 2700°F to melt scrap iron. By using old fryer grease to fuel their furnace, they eliminate the massive energy consumption of a typical metal casting operation. They also only use recycled iron as source material. Episode directed by filmmaker Rob Meyer.
The Balvenie’s longstanding alliance with craft is a result of the distillery’s dedication to the five rare crafts of whisky making, which allow them to achieve their distinctive taste and exceptional quality. The Balvenie still grows its own barley, still malts in its own floor maltings, employs a team of coopers to tend its casks, a coppersmith to maintain its stills, and has in its service the most experienced Malt Master in Scotland.

Love watching Anthony when he's upbeat and enjoying something. Wish he had gotten help for himself.
Fuck Yes Amen to that one 😔🤧😔
I'm really upset I didn't find this series until after Anthony Bourdain had been taken from us. RIP Anthony Bourdain.
I feel this way except with all his shows. I've been binging all his stuff when I can for a few weeks now. Such a tragedy that he was in so much pain but his legacy is something to be extremely proud of. He lived about as full a life as anyone does, even if it was too short.
@@cameronwinrow554 True. Well, maybe that's the thing though. If we live faster, it doesn't take as long to live a complete life. Live slower, you have to stick around longer to experience it all. Same net experience. Still, I miss him too. Best, @HoneyOnWales
Man, I miss the man.
Is he really gone if you can rewatch his shows?
Hopefully, you make some videos so your loved ones can listen, watch, and be entertained by the person who used to be.
@@cameronwinrow554 Read his books bro, he was in pain his whole life...don't do drugs
I discovered Borough Furnace online completely by accident, read about John and Liz and their business, ordered one, waited for nearly 9 weeks and the skillet arrived as promised - on time and beautiful... There is something to be said about the art of hand crafting - because no two items are identical, therefore yours is unique. I been using my Borough Furnace skillet for many types of cooking styles including braising. In one word: AMAZING... After seeing this video, time to try Steak Au Poivre...
I’m a senior Kentuckian and my go-to wedding gift is a Living Bible and a Lodge cast iron 10 inch skillet!! Two items I send with a prayer that the marriage lasts as long as those two items🥰!
Anthony Bourdain+show about handmade stuff = Heaven
Borough Furnace is sold out of every item on their website! I guess demand for hand crafted items is taking off! Very good!
Can you post the link to the site? I'd like one of those pans. Awesome episode. 👍😉
Still sold out xD
WARNING>>>>>>>
don't forget to mention the shit service they have.. I placed an order in December. should of been here in April. no one responded to my emails (NO PHONE NUMBER) finally after a month or so they tell me the end of MAY. now its July.. BTW i messaged them on FACBOOK but they blocked me.. what a shit little company.. enjoy the 300 + bucks. F)* ()*&_^ U
Interesting but doesn't hold a candle to his other stuff. Kudos to him for trying to promote things he was passionate about. And yes, it killed me to erase "is" and change it to "was". It didn't touch what I'm passionate about, but I'll continue this series to see what he wanted to promote. All hail Anthony Bourdain.
This is totally right... nothing wrong about this at all. I love it. Great cast iron, great dish, great beverage, and Bourdain presenting? I'm hooked already.
Wow, one of the great storytellers of our lifetime, lost to all mankind for nothing, over a woman! I never missed his series on "Destination Unknown" he must have had a cast-iron stomach to handle some of the food I saw him eat on his show!
Anthony Bourdain is a fucking boss
lul

The pan I use everyday is my grandmothers cast iron pan. Its the BEST for cooking our meals.
Plus, it has grandma magic in it!
With Wok Hei its also that when you toss in a wok over a fire small bits of oil and food catch a flame for a fraction of a second giving a slight smokey almost burnt note.
Truth be told I probably have a man crush on AB. Seems like the kind of guy you wish you were friends with. And I totally see how this is an AB show. Hand crafting seems to be making a comeback so I'm surprised this show didn't get picked up on TV, maybe it still will. I love the concept though. We are such a made in China society that wants everything right now, that most of us don't even know they make things by hand any more. This shines a well deserved light on the few craftsman we have left.
Damn! That's one good looking skillet! Tony's presentation is awesome as ever! A great loss for us all!

Always been a fan of Anthony Bourdain's shows. Love handcrafted, buy it for life items. Perfect match in my book. Incidentally, AB looks sharp.
This is great! I love my old cast iron cookware, but the handle design is wonderful! How many have had their hands burnt on a cast iron skillet handle? ✋me! So great, when a lot of the good manufacturers have left the states. I have a Warner that is my go to for eggs! Good job! Plus, I love that they are local, go Upstate NY!
THESE PEOPLE ARE GENIUS THE TRUE BUEATY OF TALENT
Miss you Anthony. RIP brother
Great series! Just what this world needs as far as learning and discovering what it means to craft things vs crap things (mass production). Thank you Mr. Bourdain for your insight and passion for such. Keep up the great work!
Great series with terrific, talented folks and beautifully photographed/produced. Anthony has the nicest friends, too. Really like the way the sponsor's product is so nicely and seamlessly integrated into the show. Part of the furniture, warm and cozy.
Agreed. People who dislike the sponsor part are well.. idiots.
I never heard of this show. I really liked Anthony Bourdain. R.I.P.
Just found this show.... so good to see Tony. Miss him, very much.
Anthony Bourdain and Mike Rowe should totally get together. if not for more than one episode, it would be pretty epic!
Sethemiah I was thinking the same thing.....
This needs to be on tv
use airplay fuck a network
to good for TV !
Love this! Miss Anthony Bourdain!
Whoa, hot magma! Just one the reasons why everyone wanted to be Bourdain.
I don't know how I ever missed seeing this series....
I just watched all the episodes...
Same here mate. Best ad in a long long time.
Great. So great. It's right thinking.
I looked and surprised Anthony didn't do an episode on hand made cigars.
this is a killer first episode. can't wait for all the others
Dear Antony, we missing you.
I have to say the product placement from the sponsor is classy. I hate the "beat you over the head" product placement becoming more common on tv and internet series. this is clear but unobtrusive, as well a classy product to begin with.
I agree! Please fund my future beehive/foundry experiments.
(the sad part is I actually got beehives ontop of our foundry, but y'know there's bitching then there's doing)
"Classy" Are you kidding? This ENTIRE clip SOLELY exists as paid product placement for some hooch. I mean, come on, that bottle close up at the end was about the *least* subtle product placement outside a Hollywood film. This is a commercial trying much too hard to pretend to be something else.
It's not pretending to be anything other than branded content. But it was very well done, and interesting.
Very nicely done indeed. Well done. (No pun intended)
I noticed they did sand the inside, but I wonder how they compare to an old Wagnerware or Griswold. Those old ones looked like they were machined flat on the inside, and they are very smooth. Modern ones tend to be missing that finishing step. Lodge for example is just as rough on the inside as at is on the outside.
Got his new cookbook Appetites with artwork by Ralph Steadman, pretty kick ass cookbook, he was in a restaurant i used to work in, love his shows.
I just watched every episode. more please.
So so sad to see him go, my idol.
may he Rest In Peace
I trained as a Chef. I still treasure my pans and knives. Treat the tools of your trade with respect ,they help you to exist.
See you in heaven Chef Bourdain for some good meal to share !
AB making life better through being relate-able.
Totally of the epic. #OfTheEpic
Amazing episode and one of the best ones made in this series #RIPAB
GRAANDE ANTONY!! bESTIACCIA!
Missin you Anthony!.....
This series should be 30minute episodes!
This stuff is great. Thanks to Make Something for dropping a link to these videos.
Amusing craftsmanship.
$280 for a 9" cast iron skillet? You're off your nut!
You can get a polished Wagner for $35, and a Lodge that does all you need a cast iron skillet to do for $10.
+dLimboStick Too expensive for me too, but they're handmade and designed with a cool touch handle. You won't find anything similar for $10. They're still in business and get lots of good press so they must be doing something right. Some people buy Aston Martins. I get by with my Honda.
OMGWTFLOL
Like I said, you can get a polished Wagner for $35 for a 12" pan. At least Aston Martin can justify their price with the engineering and the hand crafting. There is no justification for a $289 price on a 9" cast iron pan. They didn't invent a new material. They're using cast iron, which has been around for thousands of years. The "cool touch" handle is not their design, they spent zero engineering time on that technology. The only reason to purchase this pan is to brag(?) that you spent $289 on a piece of cookware.
+dLimboStick nailed it
+dLimboStick Oh really? You think an Aston (any model) is really worth the asking price? You don't think there's any bragging involved? A 50 or 60 year-old Ferrari is worth $35 million (and don't start about rarity and Rembrandts)?
My cast iron skillet is from Walmart at $44.00. Worth every damn dime -and is near indestructible.
We miss you Tony!
It’s good. Indeed
its amazing how many people have no clue how to season a cast iron skillet, or bbq grill or anything cooked on that's cast iron.It hurts me everytime I see a cast iron cookware that's not seasoned properly you can tell just by how it cooks how meat sticks and how it looks man its a shame....almost like seeing someone walk across concrete on their ice skates
Thank u!
Bourdain is awesome. That scotch is just affordable but delicious!
Amazing! Keep up the good work! 👍👍
In honor of a great man, I just did a portrait painting of him....😍😍😍
Now i want a skillet. and maybe some Whiskey. Branded content as done by Anthony Bourdain...
Please make this an actual series.
Brake shoes covered in the dust of asbestos brake pads? Aren’t skillets designed for cooking food?
Does it hurt to be that stupid?
@@elbob248 - There’s nothing stupid about science, dipshit. What’s the answer?
I hope this channel continues, it is very interesting!

Re-inventing a classic kitchen tool to perfection
Anthony gets it.
This was excellent!
Very, very cool :)
OMG you used the Doublewood for cooking!?!?!?
In case you were wondering, the 10.5 skillets cost $300 and are currently sold out on the website.
askaw.us/2WJMGD5
I want his recipe!
Looked like salt the steak, course ground peppercorn crust. Sear, cook to temp, make sauce. Whiskey, heavy cream, and broth in the sauce?
I, also, would love the sauce recipe!
just look up "steak au poivre" except use whisky instead of whatever alcohol the recipe calls for
milk steak
Unbelievable!
I haven't seen Bourdain recently. Looks like he's lost some weight. Lookin good
this is great.
love, i found it
I miss Anthony I’m glad he did these perhaps we will find someone like him maybe me to continue on raw craft with Anthony Bourdain a.k.a. me
Please make another!
I want that skillet.
It's been over two months since episode 1 came out...when will episode 2 be released?
I wrote to the guys at borough furncase, a cast iron skillet upstart who've been constructing the pans in their little backyard furnace, asking if I could give their ... A cast iron foundry and design studio in New York. marries the best qualities of your grandma's cast-iron skillet-its sturdiness, its uniform heat conduction...
What are the molds they are using?
Where's episode five gone?? You know the one with the bookbinding that WAS there before. :(
RIP mr Bourdain...it’s so sad ur daughter must deal with the aftermath of your death 💀...she needed u to help her grow into the young woman she would have been instead of the halt in the middle of her life that will be scarred! Hopefully she has a strong support system to and aide her. You sir, have stopped the pain...hers and others are just beginning. I know...I almost ended my life a few years ago and never realized all the lives I would have affected ...If u are there at that point. Take a breath, get up away from what ever ur doing and call the hot line. They are wonderful and they saved my life. Yes I spent 2 weeks in a hospital unit and yes it was court ordered. But I was a danger to myself. Now I’m diagnosed as Bi-Polar 1 but with meds and therapy, I’m doing well. Our diseases 9can be handled. And it is a disease. Vaya con Dios senor Anthony!
When I moved to the Philippines and met my now fiancé, I had a list of rules on the wall. 2) don't fall fall in love, 3) don't close the window so my cats could get in and out, ect, ect
#1 was "DO NOT TOUCH MY CAST IRON PANS !!!"
Why is there so much time given to talking about taking care of cast iron cookware but after the meal is finished no one shows you how to prepare the pan for storage?
+John Norris pour a heaping (maybe 1/4 C) pile kosher salt into the rinsed pan and scrub the pan with the salt. once the bits of food have broken free simply rinse and dry the pan. never soap never left wet.
Benjamin Nalder Thanks for the knowledge!
flak seed oil is awesome for cast iron. there is a test on youtube that shows some compelling stuff.
leo ll Thanks
John Norris I should have watched the whole video prior to commenting. They mention flax seed oil...lol
A non-stick pan, who needs that?
RIP Tony :-(
I want a taste of that steak and of the brandy so bad...damn! lol
Whiskey ;)
Uncle Roger: Wow! This guy knows wok hey!
Respect! I am going to call you Uncle Bourdain
Tony! I want to work with you! Handcrafted all the way!
Tony, why didn't they eat the whole thing? Whats wrong with them?
whats the name of opening song
5:05 Ace Frehley makes Steak au Poivre... "Where'd my silver lamé apron disappear to?"
two things i love, Balvenie and Bourdain! How do i get a signed bottle?
Can you put the link to the website to where I could find this amazing product
boroughfurnace.com/shop
Asbestos! Yum!
Yeah, don't you DARE wash my skillets! I wipe them out, no need whatsoever to wash with soap and water! Them's fightin' words!
Does anyone know the theme song to this show?
Is Borough Furnace still selling product?
They just take people's money and don't send products unfortunately
as always brilliant!!! but Aluminium Oxide ??? That was not necessary ! after such a great job, to rap it up in poison was really a flop !
Urutu C Pay attention. It was SANDBLASTED with aluminum oxide. Al is no part of the pan.
ops , my bad... I got it wrong !
Anthony, I'm a crafter myself and I appreciate people who have a vision and work their hands. If you're looking for an assistant, give me a call.
Bourdain called Single Malt Scotch as Brandy in their own channel, lol
Ranggi Arohmansani - no he didn't. He said he normally uses brandy but that he's heard that this Balvenie stuff is good.
RIP
Boardwalk Empire... :)
Somewhat trivial and not video topic related, but I gather Liz is a vegetarian? She didn't touch the finished Balvenie and peppercorn steak dish and seemed uncomfortable with the scene. That aside, it was an interesting video with a neat topic.
Cool skillets and good video.
I had similar thoughts about Liz looking uncomfortable. I'd eat the steak & finish The Balvenie for her. Cool to see stuff handcrafted but much less expensive from Lodge...just sayin
Samuel Speers
Just sayin.... You really think that a 2 person shop is going to turn out cheaper goods than lodge's factory can? On furnace 's site, the pan that they made in this video goes for $280.00. You have no idea what you're talking about.
Trimox
Unless you intended to write MORE expensive. If that's the case then I'm with you. They'd have to bring in the same kind of automation lodge uses to bring the cost down before I'd think about one of these.
Trimox I said what I intended to, "less expensive from Lodge"....
You could do this work somewhere where labour is cheap and seriously reduce the price and make a lot of them. As long as you do good quality control.
Spare me....there's a sucker born every minute. Great old, seasoned cast iron pans can be had for a few dollars at any Goodwill in America--I have a set and they're wonderful!
+blipblip88 Yeah, but these ones are made from used disc brakes and vegetable oil. Wait...shouldn't they be less expensive then? I agree, it's a bit of a scam but some people will pay more for handmade items crafted with the environment in mind. Not you or I, but some people.
blipblip88 I bought a set of three today at walmart for $9
You actually went to Walmart?
Same here,besides who would want traces of brake oil and other automotive fluids in their food,coming deep inside from those skillets?
The surface on those is bumpy as hell though. So you may benefit from grinding that down
