      Cast iron / carbon steel to be quite honest I've never even tried it 🤔 (Leidedfrost) I suppose the reasoning would be cast iron and carbon steel is already seasoned and stainless you basically start from scratch every time.

    I started using a surface temp thermometer with my stainless steel, bc the gun is a pain with stainless. But that's only good for initial preheat, since you can't use it with oil. They are only like $10-14.

    • @tomwadek

      You can use it to test the oil but you need to change the emissivity. It’s tricky at first.

    Binge watched a bunch of your videos before my first use of a stainless steel pan. The food came out perfectly with very little cleanup needed! Thanks for the great content. To any other first time users, Leidenfrost method is the most fool proof. Use that to dial in a thermal gun and you can just use the thermal gun in the future.

    I use a thermal gun and temperature probe for various measurements. I too have used the gun around the house and garden just to appease my curiosity of things.
    Getting the right temperature for the pan your using can be hit and miss but experienced cooks just know without gadgets. I'm a technical person so I have to know more than "feel".

    Knowledge, experience, repetition.. representing a good stepping stone in the right direction.
    Nonstick coating on aluminum pans took away much knowledge to what apparently we're going back to with stainless steel, carbon steel and cast iron.
    There's definitely a learning curve too natural nonstick and how to achieve it and I see many getting frustrated going to / back to stainless steel.

    I was going nuts about why my thermal/heat gun didn't work properly... then I watched this and learned about "emissivity".
    I have a Matfer carbon steel pan, and leaving it on the burner at full blast for 10 minutes only showed 215F. But as soon as I put oil in, the heat gun instantly showed 450F.
    Thanks for clearing that up!

    My bigger issue is that my induction cook top overshoots because the pan gets way hotter before the glass and therefore sensor underneath catches up. I don't think that is good for my pan or seasoning (depending on which pan I'm using).

    • @tomwadek
      @tomwadek  Рік тому +2

      Yeah, induction is a different animal and requires some adjustments. I also lower the temp from my target temp to prevent overshooting.

    • @KajunMan1971
      @KajunMan1971 8 місяців тому

      They need to embedd a small copper plate into the center of the glass top and attach the temperature sensor to that so that the heat from the bottom of the pan will reach the temperature sensor more quickly.

    • @patrickbuick5459
      @patrickbuick5459 8 місяців тому

      @KajunMan1971 The commercial ones I have seen use the same setup as the Instant Pot. The sensor is in a spring-loaded piece that contacts the pan through a hole in the heating surface. The plate would work, but still introduce temperature lag for anyone trying to get finer control.

    • @bmwfish
      @bmwfish Місяць тому

      On my induction burner, I’ve found that it works well to undershoot by 20-40° and let it dwell a few minutes to allow temps to stabilize. You can always bump it up a notch or two if it’s not hot enough.

    • @patrickbuick5459
      @patrickbuick5459 Місяць тому +1

      @bmwfish That is what I try to do, but even two bumps goes from clicking on and off, thinking it is at temp to burning what is in the pan until it settles again. It takes longer to get up to temp because of this fudging around than to cook once it gets there. I have switched back to SS for now as a result. Same thing, but no seasoning to destroy.

      No, you should always preheat your pan. What they mean is cooking or overheating without oil. They are also addressing a seasoning tactic by some called blueing where you purposely overheat your pan. I personally don’t recommend blueing
