Can you do a video on how you store all your cookware? We have been watching for a while and have accumulated a LOT of cookware. Any tips are appreciated!!
Can't wait to see you cook with the Smithey farmhouse carbon steel skillet.
Would also love to see a reaction video of the Mrs.
The Farmhouse skillet is my dream skillet.
bois (bwa:h) = wood/ Boise (Bwa:h zeh) = Wooded
Glad you got a saucier - looking forward to hearing how you find it. Those Smithey pans are gorgeous. I'm not sure how I feel about the hand hammered sides, I'm sure you'll tell us how you feel about them.
Love the Copper Saucier and Smithey's artisan cookware. What a huge cookware haul and great content as always
Fun video. How do you store so much cookware…shelving units in the garage? LOL
This is the episode I want to see...the one where we find out his deck is built on top of a storage container!! 😀... Great channel...keep them coming! Got my de buyer omelette pan on your recommendation and love it! Seasons greetings from Wales!
I’m so glad you picked up some Smithy cookware. I am anxious to see your reaction to it. Several weeks ago, I had asked if you had any experience with it because I had seen some ads on TV for it. So I’m really looking forward to your review when you do one.
Oooh that Falk saucier is beautiful! I ended up ordering 2 debuyer pans. Thank you!
Staub is gorgeous
I'll admit you just introduced me to Smithey cookware. Oh boy, am I ever interested! Just looked through their website and can say I'm very impressed by everything I see. Only bad part is Christmas for others takes precedent over myself. So I'm going to have to wait until all the Christmas shopping is done before I can entertain any new cookware for myself. Though I can seriously see something, if not several somethings coming from them in the near future.
I have a few Smithey cast iron pieces. The smooth surface is great. The look and feel work for me. Performance is awesome using glass cooktop.
I have a bunch of Smithey cast iron and the Deep Farmhouse carbon steel skillet. Just got the Farmhouse and haven’t used it yet but Smithey is absolutely top notch cast iron. I don’t expect any disappointment with their carbon steel either. I can’t wait to use the Farmhouse!
A toast to Uncle Scott. 🍻
I picked up a staub enamled cast iron skillet for sale. I haven’t used it much, but I have done the fried egg test. Nailed it.. along with the side of the pan when I went for a flip. 😆😆😆
Hi Uncle Scott, "Bois" is the French word for wood (which is the same as Holz in German).
The name Boise (Idaho) came from French-Canadian travelers who gave the name from the adjective form (boisé) which meant “wooded”.
Like the words envelope and herb, the name Boise has been sufficiently anglicized. So they don't carry the old French pronunciation anymore.
Thanks for a great video.
Looking forward to a lot of reviews in the future!
I have Le Creuset pieces and a few Staub.
Love cooking in them!
But I still enjoy other people unboxing their new pieces.
I have a small 8 inch Le Creuset piece in Artichaut
It is a very earthy, luxurious color without looking dirty.
I use it for cooking grains, pasta sauces and smaller quantities of soup.
Best channel hands down!!! 🫡
I can't wait for the reviews for each of these pans.
Hello Scott! Looks like Christmas!!
I’m glad you’re still alive after last Saturday.
Bond!
Thanks for the videos. I’ve learned so much from you.
Best unboxing ever...
Dang Scott! What are you, some kind of cookware millionaire?! That's a lot stuff dude. Cookware storage has got to be a challenge at your house by now, LOL!
I did get a birthday gift for myself today. I got a Lodge 3.6 qt Blue Essential Enamel Cast Iron Covered Casserole (I call it a braiser) I got the blue one. Thing is beautiful. Not a screaming deal but an excellent piece for my budget.
Merry Christmas
Wow! Fantastic haul! Looking forward to reviews! I'm new to your channel! I'm crazy about cooking, and am excited to learn more! ❤😎🎻
Where do you keep all your pans?
After watching this, I had an urge to light up a cigarette.
Wow, Christmas is here at your house! My only cookware to order this year was the 9.5” Debuyer blue carbon steel skillet. It has been used a lot since getting it. Good choices on the LC and Staub pots. The biggest one I have is a 7 qt LC soup pot in the signature Flame color. Don’t have any Falk, that saucier looks nice. Most of my sauce pan/sauciers are from All Clad and Staub and I love using them. I thought about and almost bought Smithey, too much talk about them not holding seasoning so went with Field. Very happy with my decision. Have not had any sticking and only did some stovetop seasoning with it before first use.
Scott, for the Smitheys - just a heads-up that they're known to not hold seasoning well. One can mitigate that by boiling half vinegar - half water for around 20 mins to purposefully micro-etch the surface into like a matte finish which will hold seasoning way better. I was also reading a paper explaining the chemistry of it, it seems there's more to it than just micro-etching the metal itself with acid. Seems like that chemistry constitutes an extra step involved that's missing from Smithey and/or other super-smooth cast iron modern manufacturers (I had the same issue with a vintage Canadian pan from Findlay that became good-to-go after the water-vinegar boiling... but to each their own).
Big fan of the channel, thanks especially for the more recent copper stuff!
I’ve had zero issues with my Smithey cast iron holding seasoning.
@darkhorsefive0 Good to know, hopefully they've updated their production methods. I've seen plenty of UA-cam videos having issues with them so it's good to keep the vinegar trick in mind just in case. Makes a world of a difference when needed.
@@AlexT-sy6nmthe ones I’ve seen having seasoning issues on Smithey (and other smooth cast iron brands) are the ones who are leaving too much oil on them during oven seasoning, or doing excessive layers of oven seasoning.
The nature of smooth cast iron (and carbon steel) doesn’t provide the same level of mechanical adhesion characteristics as rougher textured cooking surfaces. In the more textured surfaces the first few coats cook into the texture. In smoother surfaces the texture fills much quicker and you are just stacking layers on top of layers with no real benefit.
Companies like Smithey and Field tell you up front that the best way to “season” their iron is to cook with it. Doing so and cleaning properly after each use leave the thinnest of layers of seasoning on the iron. No thick build up to flake and peel, or just turn loose.
I don’t oven season cast iron any more unless I strip to bare metal. Even then I do one, maybe two super thin coats and start cooking. My cast iron performs perfectly and I have zero seasoning issues.
Most people create their own seasoning issues regardless of brand. 🤷♂️
@darkhorsefive0 Fair points but what I'm talking about regarding Smithey is issues such as having the seasoning flake off when cooking even eggs etc, brand new. Like Alvin Zhou's video if I recall, some pans by Smithey just couldn't seem to hold onto their seasoning. Agreed that many issues are user-created (Cook Culture has a great video about how, beyond issues such as not seasoning for long enough or at high enough temperature), if the oil one uses is fibrous such as olive or avocado oil, you can expect flaking to occur down the line as the fibers interfere with the structure of the patina. Hence why seed oils such as grapeseed, canola, sunflower seed oil etc are best for seasoning. But that's not what I was referring to with Smithey cast iron.
Great lineup, can't wait for the reviews. Happy holidays 🍳🍳🍳
You sure got yourself some nice shit there. Merry Christmas 🎄 have fun with them. I’m gonna try tuning in on some future videos
Wow! It sure looks like Christmas !
I miss the applauses :( guess I'll have to do the clapping myself! (although I might look a bit silly)
15:25 that is one beautiful pan
10:24 I have the falk 11” skillet. Iv done alot of videos over it.. a good skillet for sure. I can’t wait to see his opinion on it.
Great haul! Congrats!
On what? Buying stuff? These "unboxing" videos are the epitome of narcissism
On these Staub and LeC, I usually look for outlet deals and Scratch and dent.....I think you can get great prices
I would consider Smithy a boutique brand however it's about as mainstream as a boutique can get. Some local stores even carry a few pieces.
Dear Scott, hope you got the OK for so many boxes coming in incognito otherwise you and the living room Sofa will get on first name base real soon Keep Up the good work All he best ** that costco set is working nicely 5 ply ( one copper ) they are heavy and I have no to watch power setting heat transfert is A1 and cleaning is easy dont have to use barman powder just hot water dishsoap green scrub pad For the BOIS meaning is wood or small little forest has per Idaho possible French settler :0)
Did you ever do a review on the two Falk Copper Pans shown in this video? I've been seriously contemplating on a couple of their pans.
🤘😎 🍳
Those Smithey's look GORGEOUS!
Anyone have any experience with them??
Smithey is top notch. I have a bunch of Smithey cast iron and just got the Deep Farmhouse carbon steel skillet. Haven’t used the Farmhouse yet but it is a solid piece. Can’t wait to use it!
Their customer service is absolutely top notch as well!
Thanks for sharing your experience.
Will DEFINITELY give them a try.
I got a Smithey cast iron skillet some months back. Don't care for the weight, and compared to my Lodge, Field, and Butterpat skillets, I don't think Smithey holds seasoning nearly as well.
@@Rockhunter329 Out of curiosity do you have any other Smithey’s besides the skillet?
@@tsukemono1 No. Not really interested in getting anymore. Personally, I like the Field(s) more and are comparable in price. Butterpats are nice, but are top dollar.
Uncle Scottie you totally rock. I have some three pin Bucks, I've never seen a one pin. Maybe you can flash that on the screen sometime. In the meantime, Keep playing that Martin guitar.
I was scared my Staub order was going to be canceled. I ordered in store on 12/21. It was on back order. It’s worth waiting for it
Ask Nordstrom customer service for a raincheck on that price. It worked for me last time they had this deal. I just called back when it was restocked and purchased at the discounted price.
Hope to get a Smithey one day. Can’t wait for the review
order a subway footlong and you know what you are getting. yep, a bottom tier sandwich, 11" long, 11.5" long if you're lucky 😂
Scott out of curiosity, how come you've never dabbled in vintage American cast iron like Griswold, Wagner Ware, Martin Stove and Range or BSR (Alabama-made..!)? They're even smoother than contemporary artisan makers and as light as carbon steel.
One of my DeBuyer orders was cancelled as well but they promised to honor the Black Friday price when they were back in stock.
Have you ever checked out the Mannheim pepper canons? Expensive but for someone with your level of appreciation for the finer things culinary, well worth it. Quality and performance is amazing.
agreed - I bought one on black friday for like...no reason. It's pretty wild how well made the thing is, and how well it works
Delivery guy is getting a workout!!
Definitely interested to see the review of the smithey carbons steel. I can tell you the cast iron will definitely not be 10x better than the lodge, but it’s still pretty good, and supporting a US made company is nice. In my opinion though Field and stargazer are superior modern day cast iron. Both actually had some insane Black Friday deals as well
Oh yeah, also if you’re interested in some super high quality wood utensils Earlywood is definitely worth watching, they had some good deals for bf too
Lodge is US too. Though some of their stuff is made abroad
Oh my, if I did anything close to that I'd be six feet under and my wife would be in jail. Good thing I have Uncle Scott to live vicariously through, emphasis on the word "live".
Uncle Scott thanks for the black Friday head's up. I bought three pans using Scott30 ( one roaster for my sister -in-law, to spread the High carbon evangelism). Have you ever made a pan sauce ? I bought a roaster for my self and wanted to get the crystalized juices off the bottom. I guess I will have to use warm stock as wine is to acidic. I also wanted to try and make a tarte tartine in one of them as I have seen references on the internet. Have you ever done it? I thought the sugar and apples would be too acidic for this and did not want to lose the finish
Where do you get your driving caps? I am looking for a quality one, but not custom hat makers level either.
He must have another room, alone, just to store all his cookware!
I'm thinking another whole house to store all this stuff!
You dont keep nutmeg and a grater in your pocket like ole AB?
Any experience with Darto carbon steel?
I've used the Le Creuset and a 100 dollar Lodge. I can't tell the difference. The Lodge is only a fraction smaller.
The falk SS handles look cheap at that price point.
I have to ask. I like your videos and the content-very informative but back to the question. What the heck do you do with all the products you purchase. there is no way that you use every single item that you buy and also where do you store all these products?
I buy storage racks and have tons of cookware around! I might have 40 or 50 frying pans, and obviously, I don't cook in each one every day. I have a sort of "go to" batch that I use the most often, but when I get a new pan and do a review, I will make it my go-to driver for a month or so and cook in it a bunch before I form an opinion and post a review. I hope the amount of cooking I do in a pan comes through in the review videos... I have seen reviews from channels on UA-cam where I can't even tell if they have ever used the pan and they just use stock images from the companies' websites.
gotta luv NordstromS
I forget they occasionally have sales but they are a good one to check.
Too bad your discount doesn't work on De Buyer :( Maybe there will be a new code
Sorry about that... it expired and I have to update a bunch of text fields.
My De Buyer order was canceled 😭
2/3 of mine was cancelled
🍳
Le Creuset translates into “the crucible”. Le is pronounced “luh” (hard to pinpoint it without IPA symbols 😅). Pronouncing it as “lay” implies that you’re actually saying “Les Creusets”, which is plural, or, “the crucibles.” 🇫🇷🙂
Two things. First, your wife is going to kill you for cluttering the kitchen with new finds. Second, I hope you can do a video on cooking in each of the pans and compare them to the pans you are used to cooking in.
