    Nice method. I have the same induction hob at home and they are very powerful. Weirdly you can get less power than the lowest setting of 1. If you hit the button it goes to temperature mode and you have 60-240 instead of 1-10. Anything under 100 is very gentle if required. Obviously cast iron gives you control with its heat retention as mentioned in the video.

    You don't get hot spots in a cast iron pan? Nah dawg. Cast iron heats REALLY slowly and unevenly, with a central hot spot, not nearly as good at conducting heat as aluminum/copper core pans. What it does well is hold a steady temp once it's gotten hot. But it takes a long time to get there. Also, this is going to piss off all classically-trained chefs, but pan basting does nothing. Nothing.

    Some of that chicken at the end looked raw to me.. now i'm not a chef or a culinary expert, so i would probably send it back, it's good to see teenagers like this cook things and even mildly basic explaining, even when they don't get it right

      You should stop sending plates back. Or maybe just stop eating out all together.

    You actually put it skin down for what ? To make skin soft again and poured souse on TOP of the dish, not around it. I’ll fire you in my restaurant dude. 😂😂😂
