Got a hundred year old cast iron that was my great grandmother's. Still getting used. That a true always pan.
I have my great grandma it's 75 years old
the family pan.
@Angie W or over a campfire. Can't beat cast iron! Cheaper too. lol
@@greenbyrd3665 so true. An oven safe, fire safe induction compatible pan would normally cost a fortune. Got mine for $30 and I can roast a chicken in it it's so big.
@@alsinakiria Yes! There's a reason why it's been around as long as it has.
I still don't know why your videos suck me in like they do. I just spent 21 minutes watching a review of a pan I know I'll never buy, but I enjoyed it thoroughly. Thanks for making these videos.
🤣🤣🤣
But, who knows if someone you know starts talking about them thinking about buying it. You could direct them to this video. -- A reviewer that really put the product to the test. ... In theory, it could happen to the average person. 😁
Just in case your parents in law want to buy a new pan you can be very well informed and opinionated. Always be ready to know more than your in laws, that always works out well. Never show weakness. Always pan is trash, you can get a granite rock for a fraction of the price AND use it in the oven. It's a no brainer, what are you stupid? Freakin' in laws don't even watch Freakin' reviews or know anything about pans, if you get an always you'll always be trash. lol.
yep, 10 minutes into the video before stopping. No way am I paying $150 for a pot that will last 2-5 yrs tops
@@koyoteekoy916 my pots and pans are way over 150 dollar each if you buy them now... mine are 47 years old and i even have some from my grandmother from the same brand that are over 60 years. They still look like new... sometimes quality comes with a price...
"Cream of chicken" "starfish tuna"......I was NOT expecting that
Yes... it taste better with cream of Mushrooms... imo😊
I wasn’t either 😳 I can’t imagine...
I throw up a little in my mouth
definitely sounds like a good college kid meal . as a broke student i’m def considering this when feeding people lol
Ngl may fat ass would love it
$145 for a pan that cant go in the oven? It better get up and fix my breakfast...no thanks! Stick with quality caste iron...keep it seasoned and you are good to go.
me too, cast iron is around $50 and i dont have to be delicate with it. Im not paying $145 for aluminum!!
Hell, I have a $20 enameled cast iron Ikea pan that is almost identical in shape to the Always pan. (enameled exterior, cast iron surface). Purchased it about 5 years ago. My one lament is that they didn't sell a lid for it, but I use one from a Calphalon pan on it. Watching James' review just reinforced that I have a pan that is functionally identical. I don't need the spoon rest, and the I can use the metal basket from another pan in it, since it's almost 3" deep.
So thanks for the review, James, I'm even happier with my $20 Ikea purchase, now that I can mimic the features of the Always pan with other things I already own.
Yup, I have only used cast iron all my life. Showing my age again. Can basically just rinse them out with lukewarm water and a sponge, put them back on the fire to dry. Use to use Cristco but now a little nonstick spray and wipe with a paper towel when cooled down. Best non-stick pans if cared for properly. I have threatened to kill over washing my pans with soap. lol
@@baddriversofthenorcalarea500 Your heat is too high. Cast-iron does a great job at retaining heat, and distributing it evenly. So, turn down your heat.
After you're done, pour a cup of hot water in the pan and let it sit while you eat or prepare other food. Then scrub lightly, and dry with a paper towel.
I've used cast-iron since I was 15. It's easy to take care of if you put in the work when you season it, but you should only have to season it when you first get it, or unless you have a major issue with it.
Honestly, cast-iron is amazing. I'm a "die-hard" fan because I've learned how to use it. You have to get used to it, but once you do, you'll never go back. I recommend you try again. It's worth it.
@@baddriversofthenorcalarea500 Josh is right, cast iron is amazing if you know what you're actually doing. If you are burning everything then you're just a bad cook.
Hey James, can you redo these tests in about 6 months. I want to see how well the nonstick holds up after 6 months of constant use.
He usually does reveiws. It will take a while, because if I am not mistaken he does year after reviews.
Hey Prence, I've had mine for 8 months and use it constantly. The non-stick surface is still very good, though there has been some discoloration of the light gray to a slightly darker color (it's in a 3 inch deep "ring" around the non stick surface).
I only have one microscopic "chip" in the cooking surface, but it's nearly imperceptible.
As he suspected though, the outside of the pan which was once SO attractive (and a huge reason why I bought it) has lost a lot of the color on the bottom. The handle discolored from its original beige to a yellowy color, and there are stains on the side of the pan (though I always hand wash it and have never soaked it in the sink so I'm not even sure where the side stains came from).
Overall it's a fine pan but I really regret buying it at that price tag- it just has too many of the cons mentioned in the video plus it's not that durable. Oh, and speaking of durable, the spoon that came with it wasn't made of a solid piece of wood so it has begun to split down the middle where they glued two pieces of wood together. Once that's broken, I won't have a replacement and will have no use for the spoon slot gimmick- unless they sell them separately (but I don't think they do).
Anyway, hope this helps!
no it doesn't I have had it for 4 months, they do heavy discounting now, I bet it costs only a few bucks to make in china
I bought the Tasty brand pans and they were complete garbage in less than 6 months. 😒
I bet it's gonna hold. 2-3 years is another story though.
I’d like to see an updated review of this pan in 6 months. Most “non-stick” pans are great at first but not so much after some time.
It was amazing at first but lost the coating within a month or two. Still an ok pan I guess and remains looking cute, which is the main reason I got it.
@@icemeoutlikeelsa I have a question though - is it WITHOUT using oil/butter that it sticks once it lost it's coating - or is it with oil/butter that it sticks?
@@mokanyra It's like any other pan without that coating. Oil and butter usually do the trick but you can't avoid sticking 100% of the time. I've learned to work around it like I can't just immediately take out an omelette even when I used oil bc it still sticks. I will cover the pan and turn off the heat, leaving it to steam a bit. After 5-10 minutes it comes right out without sticking.
@@icemeoutlikeelsa Oh nooo, I currently use T-Fal with oil and butter and nothing ever sticks. Now I'm scared to invest money into a bunch of pots and using butter/oil won't do it (kind of).
Curtis Stone cookware(sold on HSN) has lasted over year for me..& still good.
This guy's speech and cadence reminds me of Toby from The Office.
THANK YOU!! I've been trying to work out where I knew him from!
Yessss!!!
Looks like a buff version of Toby too!
OH MY GOD. GENIUS. Micheal would hate this channel
Andrew B,
Say hi to Toby for me. Thanks.
It’s aluminum, so it will heat up fast and then overheat, you can’t use it in the oven, it doesn’t replace anything it’s just a wide bottomed saucepan, you can’t use metal utensils on it, simply not worth it. Nonstick pans break down quickly, that’s why they’re cheap. If you want to invest in a pan go 3 ply stainless, and if you want to replace everything with one item get a microwave
Cast Iron, ftw.
I agree who would cook pasta in this pan, if you want your pasta full of starch? Aside from the color selection as being fun, no one who knows how to cook would buy this pan, you can't get fond to make a sauce, just to start with?
No real chef would ever say use chef mic
I totally agree. Everything sticks and you cant cook anything on higher heat. I can't make pancakes, fry eggs, sear steaks without everything sticking. Cleanup is also a mess. Truly one of the worst pans I've ever purchased.
@@dreamervanroom I love cast iron but I'd always wanna have a nonstick pan of some sort to cook trickier things like eggs, I can never get the seasoning quite good enough for them.
It drives me crazy when a pot/pan says it replaces so many other things, as though a person only ever uses one at a time. Even if it's great, you'd still need several other pots and pans if you cook regularly for yourself or feed a family. I'm so glad you reviewed it! I had wondered if you might!
Right!
Eh, there's one pot pasta dishes and people like me hate having too much stuff laying around. I also don't have children or a husband to cook for so most days, this pan would be good for me.
It doesn't really replace anything else. Buy a $1 steamer basket and you can do everything this one can do in any other pan.
I love the always pan but you’re right. I find myself doing an equal amount of dishes because I don’t always make one pot meals. I do like the fact that it is easy to clean.
Exactly. This pan is supposed to replace 8 pans? Ridiculous bullshit. I don't even think there're that many different kinds of pans. It's just a freaking frying pan and and it think it's bulky and quite ugly.
Pans are hard to judge without time. I'd say this would be a great thing to come back to in a year. Also 150 bucks but isnt oven safe? What the flying fudge?
Pans definitely need time before judging how good they are. This is a great preliminary review of it. Looking forward to the follow-up review. Yeah, not oven safe is a deal-breaker for me. I like that this is multi-functional though.
You'll see his update lol
Loving the shape though
You ever heard of an allclad d3
Your welcome
If it's not oven safe, is it really safe to get it hot enough for searing a steak?
can somebody tell me why i just watched this entire video at 3 o’clock in the morning? i don’t even have $145.
It's like in the old days when people would watch informercials on TV in the middle of the night. You want to watch something, but not something you have to think too much about.
😂😂😂
Hey. Me too
Same here
It's 3am and I do not have 145€ too 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nope, if it’s over 2 lbs, you gotta have both handles stay cool, cause when it’s full of food you might need both hands.
Not to be snarky or anything but maybe use mittens for the helper?
@@josefv1154 but this can't go in the oven, so why the hell isn't it insulated on the handle, especially at 145!
Absolutely. Why that handle stays hot is weird.
Super lame! The handles getting hot…
Buy a good steel pan. Something with three rivets that you can also use as a weapon. :)
All I can say is I’m glad that this is a product review channel and not a food recipe channel.
Thanks for sharing these products! 😂
I came to the comments to see people dragging the “sauce” and I was not disappointed
im just so confused
Yes very confusing
Wtf did he really make a sauce from tuna lol
@@ComPTonRiLLO chicken of the sea 😉
The cream of chicken and tuna combo did not sound appealing to me in the slightest! Hopefully he enjoys it; I'm trying not to hurl at the thought of it.
I love the way you carry-out and present your reviews. So very thorough and realistic.
I think this pan does so well because of marketing/branding, the design and colors, and it’s very giftable. Right now it’s on sale for $92 which is a bit more reasonable I would never pay $145
Lol what? that price is reasonable? i hope you're joking
@@uhm175 A BIT more reasonable. It's like you missed the point on purpose.
Your review of the Always Pan ranks in the top one percent of reviews that I have seen on UA-cam, both in content and quality of the video.
welcome to money babyyyy
@@SimplyABoomer_69 😭😃😂🤣
I have a $99 All-Clad pan that I can put in the dishwasher, oven, and use metal utensils in. No nonstick pan is worth more than $40, they all eventually begin to stick. The spatula/spoon holder is the only neat thing about that pan, but wood spoons don't last forever.
I agree with you, nonstick isn't forever. The price isn't that bad for a good pan, I've paid more. The problem is that it's a nonstick pan and it will be worthless eventually.
Rub down with crisco and let it sit overnight once a month
All-Clad makes some nice cookware. But damn they're pricey
@@umamichefd But they last and can be handed down!
Yeah, I gave up wood spoons which I love because they just don't last. I use those black silicone spatulas instead.
Get a good cast iron skillet, Sand the surface smooth, season it, learn to care for it. You will NEVER use anything else. You will get an awesome sear and intense flavor. It will cost under $40 and last hundreds of years and be passed through the generations if you care for it.
Sand the surface?? Why?
His and my Granitestone have held up perfectly for over 2 years, for the price and size it's amazing.
@@iambear.6526 smoothen it
@@CoDbrO9069 thanks I fifured that knowing a better cast iron pan has a smooth finish--I didn't know you could sand it? I just bought these little square cast iron pans and was worried about them not being smooth enough, I hadn't thought about sanding them? Maybe someone has a video, so I don't ruin them?
@FlyBaby - I have my grandmother’s cast iron pan, and I’m 72 years old. I have her wooden spoons too! You’re right about cast iron. It doesn’t break, if you keep it seasoned, nothing sticks to it - it’ll still be around long after I’m gone! And it’s oven proof too!!
To be honest, a dutch oven could do all the jobs and beyond.
Yeah that’s how I use mine
@@capucine2347 😳
I think if they can lower the price down to $40, they'll get a lot of people to buy it. You can't use it in the oven and can't use on high heat, so I don't think it's worth the current price.
You can't lower the price if you need to make a profit it probably at least took $40 to make. And when they sell it has to be sold for five times that much that's how it is with designer fashion. If it took them $500 to make they have to sell it for about 3000
It’s on sale for $95 right now
Rn its on sale for 95 use code supersale.
for that price you can buy a Le Creuset....
Well is always 145
James really cooks like a bachelor out here 😂😂
JenZ521 he single anyways😀😂🤣😅
I think the heat was a tad too high on the steak haha. I would say blackened not browned. 😉. All in good fun. Thanks for the great review. I was concerned this pan might be too wimpy to waste my money on ...
JenZ521
Yeah, when he made that “pasta sauce” with just cream chicken soup and tuna I thought “He doesn’t have a girlfriend”, lol.
@@jdavis37378 I am pretty sure he doesn't have a wife anymore
@@maddy775 how did you come across that information?
No problem, James! Thank you for all you do! Your info on these products is invaluable to me!!
Thank you for the thorough review. I’ve been intrigued by this pan and have no problem spending money on a quality piece of cookware but personally, I just can’t get past it not being oven safe. In my opinion, and I haven’t used one personally so this is just a guess, but I believe this pan’s popularity is more about the aesthetics than the actual quality. It is a very nice looking pan.
"this thing here replaced 8 pans for the price of just 7 pans!"
"can you cook 2 separate things at once?" "Well, no."
Can you dish wash it, use it in the oven, use metal on it?" "Well no, but it's aluminum."
"So why 160 bucks plus for one pan?" "Hear me out...HEAR ME OUT!!! ...wooden spoon"
For those of us with a tiny kitchen, the thought of reducing the # of pans in it is very appealing.
Lol
Get two always pans lol
Hahaha my thoughts exactly!!!
This is hilarious
This is why I always use cast iron. Oven safe, fire safe.
Beautiful, perfect.
I feel like if someone designed this pan but cast iron, and the same gimmicks like the cool handle, spoon holder, vent lid, it would actually merit being called an “ always” pan .
@@fiig5196 And might cause me to spend that much. I've had my cast for 25 years now so I don't really need a new pan but that does look like a okay feature.
The skillet IS the always pan. You can boil in a skillet, bake in a skillet, and fry in a skillet.
Absolutely!
So is a stainless steel frying pan, and frankly it’s easier to pick up. Cast iron is heavy.
I got this pen yesterday in the mail, and when I opened it the paint along the outside of the pan was all chipped there was paint splatters inside the nonstick area, and the inside of a nonstick area was scratched by the steaming basket. pretty disappointing and if you read any reviews on Reddit or anywhere else online you will see many negative reviews about the non-stick not lasting very long the paint chipping and the enamel breaking. it's interesting if you go to the always website and you look at the reviews all of them are five star reviews but there's no where for you to leave your own review. So I'm curious how did those reviews get left over 5,000 reviews and no space to leave a review anywhere and every single review was positive.
Simple, they probably only pick and choose the reviews they got from other sources... a pretty common practice that isn't technically lying...
Many legit companies like to do this kinda sh*t often...
They should call them testimonials.
Sounds like they sold you a used one that somebody returned. Sad
@@TheDeathmail I'm always skeptical when I read reviews as some companies do their own reviews. I always find the best way to get opinions is word of mouth. Ask friends if they have tried stuff. Or groups on Facebook are always asking for reviews on products.
Hopefully you were able to return it or get a refund.
I cook for a living and this is my favorite at home go to pan, also great for melting chocolate and made great Christmas toffee.
So... Its a non stick pan they still want us to use oil in, can't go in the oven, can't be used on high heat... And it's $145...? No thanks, I'll buy a few pieces of cast iron from Lodge or something stainless steel for that much money...
Most if not all none stick pans can't be used on high heat. Also for other folks I agree for that price it should go on the oven. That being said if you have a glass top oven cast iron not a great idea. One lip new stove top. OK, next a good high quality well seasoned pan is worth its price and seasoning.
It can’t go in the oven or high heat because it is aluminum
Love my cast iron.. but for standard day to day "non-stick" I use carbon steel pans. Way lighter and easier to fling around flipping pancake, eggs, etc.
I'll keep using my lodge ..I'm with you
Agreed, it's a cute concept, but I grew up using cast iron and as much as I appreciate a good nonstick surface, I haven't seen anything here that would incite me to trade in my old pans.
Kids come home and ask what's for dinner.
"It's egg and beefy bean burritos with a side of tuna steak pasta"
"You gotta stop reviewing cookware!"
Only in America: "Now I will prepare a sauce for the pasta".... Mixes a can of condensed soup with a can of tuna!
never been to the UK obviously...
Don’t knock it til you try it
@@corettaha7855 LOL
As an American: this hurt me and made me sad. That's not cooking :(
@@whodat9198 I've NEVER seen anyone do this in the UK lol!!
I fell for the beauty and attractiveness of this pan. I also wanted a pan that I could steam in that I didn’t need to use a steamer basket that would make me have to use a big pot. I had the same complaint that the outside gets discolored easily. My main complaint is the same as yours that it was hard to gauge how much water to add without the water running out and getting scorched or adding too much and touching the vegetables hence boiling the bottom of the veggies instead of steaming it. I still enjoy having this pan very much and am happy I waited until they created the lavender color. Another extra I really love is the sponge they provided. I wish they had it for sale at regular stores. I think this pan is very aesthetically pleasing to the eye and does the job well of non-stick and steaming. It for sure makes a lovely gift. I’d definitely prefer to cook a steak in a cast iron though 100%
Hey Freakin' Reviews, with black Friday coming up and the holiday season, a gift guide for as-seen-TV products would be very fun to see. Maybe a top 10 product list? lol
Good idea
I would love to see that too!
I think the pro reviewers are two steps ahead of us when it comes to upcoming sales
They banned it in the UK because people were killing each other for tvs
I agree!
I've just spent 20mins of my life watching a review of a pan I already knew I wouldn't buy haha :) i just enjoy his videos and how he honestly reviewed the pan ... im a dutch oven person, i would invest in pots and pans that last for generations !
Same here, I'm a cast iron or stainless steel kind cook
this is some aluminium non stick junk with a ton of marketing.
I was just thinking the same thing
If I was buying a pan this expensive it would be a nice Dutch oven.
TOO FUNNY...ME TOO🤗
Thank you for posting this! I was trying to decide if it was worth trying out. Your video was very helpful!
It’s one of the most aesthetically pleasing pans I’ve ever seen. I can’t decide if I want it in spice or stone, the gray color
For 145.00 I'll always pass on that pan .
That’s the price of a real pan. Best pan in the world is an allclad d3
@@NathanaelGreer there’s also all clad copper core, which is an even further improvement.
@@Dirty_Bear22 Yep, I have those and actual French copper pans. The Al-Clad is awesome! Put some water in after use. It is easy to clean, and no worries. Now, my real copper pans. I adore these. I love these. I have 1 with tin lining. I love it but, never ever tin lined again. This has to be babies a lot. The real copper, (not red garbage), lined in stainless are fabulous. Not much to be babied. However, at $300 and up for each, they are extremely expensive for most. I could have never bought either of these brands when I was 30. The copper does need lemon juice, and salt to clean the outside tarnish periodically. I use both types everyday. Well worth the investment. However, they are an investment. They are not disposable. You have a sizeable chunk of monies involved. I think for the investment required you need to cook alot. I cook a bunch. I make most things from scratch. I cook 3 to 4 times every day. I also cook for 50 people frequently. Homemade everything, rolls, sauces, dressings, desserts, and spice combo's.
@@Beardman56 $325 where I live.
@@NathanaelGreer The real pan, the kitchen utensil of the real scotsman. :D Nah, I stick to my unreal not overpriced pan that I can put in the oven and basically does everything this do-gooder kitchen utensil does. ;)
"Not oven safe"
I appreciate you putting that in the review at the beginning. That convinced me that I didn't want the one piece only pan early on. I stoped watching the video, but it was an honest and appreciated review less than 3 minutes into the video.
Thanka
What good is a pan like that if you can't put in the oven for certain things.
There are other pans or pots that are durably non-stick which can be placed into the oven. So this "Always" pan is a disappointment to me since oven finishing is useful for certain flavors and textures.
I ordered the Always Pot AND the Pan before Christmas. With the supply chain all messed up I knew it was going to be longer than usual. I got notification that the Pot had been delivered and I’m pretty sure porch pirates took it. They sent me a new one right away, lovely accommodating customer service. They even told me to keep the first one if it ever showed up. How great is that? The pan came a few weeks later. I love the Pot even more than the pan. But the handles on the Pot and lid knob get quite hot. Time will tell on the non stick surface. I haven’t used soap on it yet. Even just paper towel on oily stuff. Well worth the money. And you get credit points to spend on their stuff after.
How’s your pan holding up!?
@@Clickhereforvirus it’s not non stick anymore. It’s pro stick.
Thank you for the video. I had mine for almost a year and I really don’t reach for it often. I thought about making a review video but yours covered everything I wanted to say, especially the gimmick about the spatula and steamer basket
That "sauce" actually made me feel uncomfortable.
That doesn't bode well for your future.
Yes, that did not look appealing, and what a strange combination. And the bean dip too. Awful,
@@eleo_b I mean, it looks like bean dip.
@@trogdorstrngbd I’m not from the US and I’ve never really had bean dip like that.

At the end of the day it's an aluminum pan with a ceramic coating, at that price it's a rip-off
Definitely the Henkel pans are much nicer
Allclad d3 best pan in the world $130
no, its cast-iron you can tell by the grainy texter at the bottom
@@lazylawnbub it’s cast aluminum. They said it. It’s not a cast iron, it’s a scam.
@@connorssmallengines6663 there has to be something besides aluminium if it works on induction, still not worth it though
Excellent review, thank you! I've been on the sidelines if I should or shouldn't take the plunge and your review helped me decide.
Thanks for the review. I've been cooking w/my cast iron skillets for a while now...and I've seasoned them very well now so I will continue to use my cast iron skillets. The one thing I do like about this is the blue color, but another reviewer didn't like the way the color started to get on the bottom of the pan. With cast iron you can always get them at the good well store and restore them. Thanks again for the review
This is the most stable and well-adjusted man on this website.
😂😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️
Incorrect. Did you miss the cream of chicken and tuna?
Weirdo
Bad-Vertisements 😂...That’s just a stovetop version of tuna casserole.
Facts! He is so stable lol
Thank you so much for trying these things out for us! You do a valuable service!
Hell yeah
I have been curious about this pan, thanks for the details review!!
I've seen recent reviews of this after people have been using it for half a year and basically it's like any other non-stick, wherein it's great for a few months and then things start sticking as the surface dulls. For me it would be nice (at THAT price!) if they included a couple more different utensils to fit that handle peg thing. I'd love to hear how it's holding up for you!
I JUST ordered so I’m SCARED to watch!!!
If you got past the price, then you're past the hard part!
@@Freakinreviews I read an article somewhere online that gave a $30 off code (now expired) that sucked me in 😂
@@Freakinreviews So far, it seems like it's worth the price. Though, I wonder how long the nonstick coating will last.🤷🏾
😭🤣
I think you’re good, girl! Enjoy your pan!
Here's my problem with things like this: Cast iron is durable but requires care, good for long term. Standard non-stick are practically maintenance free but more fragile, the coatings wear off, though they tend to be cheap enough to be easily replaceable at around 20 to 40 dollars. This is massively more expensive and I doubt its coating will actually last 3 times as long as a standard nonstick and certainly wont last as long as cast iron. I feel like this thing is just a money sink....
I only cook with cast iron and the only downside that I’ve found is it’s wight which might be a problem for some people. You can wash them with soap just make sure the iron is dry and oiled before storing.
@@Goprof150 Try carbon steel pans
@@dizzydaddy000 that’s another really good option.
@@Goprof150 I love mine. They are very much like cast iron in terms of care, maintenance and prettier imo haha.
@Deon Denis
My mom still has Tefal pots and pans that are older then me (27 year old) in working condition.
Granted she was extremely nazi about not using metals in them.
The one that saw daily are still working though some parts of the coating are less "nonstick" then other, but not flaking, but good one aren't cheap here.
While my nonstick pan that I've had for 4 years is definitely no longer nonstick... and frankly I should get a new one asap because idk how much coating is safe to eat, that's why I'm watching reviews of pans :)
Have to say, this was a great review! Nicely done.
We're approaching the 1 year mark! Can't wait for the update!
I was like: alright my man, I understand, no need to judge your cooking skills.
When he made the pasta sauce: Ah hell naw! I'm judging big time! TF puts cream of chicken and tuna and calls it a sauce?
1 minute later: ah man I just failed to honor the man's disclaimer....
I apologise for my sin.
lmaoooo 😂😂😂.. he caught me off guard with that sauce
As soon as he did that tho I thought there’s something quick and easy my kids might eat lol
@@TheJessicahammerly for quick and easy, add tuna to good quality store bought "marinara" (italians just call it tomato sauce) and add the tuna to it. It's better if you make your sauce of course, but it defeats the purpose of being quick and easy lol
LOL.
I’m feeling your regrets....
I'll buy it when they drop the price down to $40.
I agree.
I like the design of it, but $150 is far too pricey for a pan.
@@misscleo378 especially for a cast aluminum pan with a fragile nonstick coating. Cast iron is much better
the pan is on sale for $95 code:supersale
Right now $95 for Black Friday, I just ordered lol supersale is the promo code
You’re my goto for product reviews. Thanks for covering this pan set.
Haven’t tried this pan, but it looks like a contender. The color you got here matches the wood tone of the spoon and it reminds me of a terra cotta pot. Thanks for a look into this pan
I was going to buy this in July when I moved until I saw you couldn’t put it in the oven. I don’t care about their “story”, that made the price tag never worth it.
Me too lol it’s so pathetic
What’s your favorite meal that you make that you cook on the stove and then put in the oven?? I’m new to cooking!
What do you cook where you need to put a pan in the oven? How often have you put pans in the oven over this past year?
I put my cast iron in the oven a lot. To finish a steak is one I can think of.
@@robertp457 as Sandra stated I like to throw I thick 2” steak in the oven. I like to pan sear chicken and also thrown the pan in the oven. I ended up with the caraway set
Yea I'd be getting a Le Creuset cast iron skillet for that price. Also what color is that called? Fleshlight tan?
I bought a Le Creuset from a thrift store for $3. Best purchase I've ever made.
You a creep
Yeah, the color is horrendous.
Lodge is the way to go. Super quality...made in USA.
@@jeremiahbachmann3901 maybe if you like cast iron with the roughness of a skateboard lol.
With the steak test, you can see the benefit of "sticking" when trying to get a good sear. The edges of the steaks got nice and dark because they were in constant contact with the pan, but because the meat contracts and curls a little, the middle didn't get long enough contact to get browned. With stainless steel or cast iron, your meat sticks to the metal at first, but will release easily when it is seared. You get more even browning and more flavorful steaks because of it.
I can't believe he cooked the steak in oil
Thanks! I've been looking at this pan, but will definitely not pay full price. I wish the lid were glass, but am more concerned about how heavy it is & how hot the handles get. The free utensil & spoon rest is a definite plus. Alas, I will always need at least 2 pots, but the choice of colors is a throwback to the 70s, so it's got my vote LOL. You've answered most of my questions. Great, thorough review. 👍
this guy is freakin awesome, got burned out from the crazy russian hacker and how he kinda lost his way, but this guy ? he is ur average every man and all round swell guy with really good and honest to goodness reviews, still, i just have a thing when dogs appear in videos, but at least his dog is a well behaved and lovable and not annoying like other chanels.
CRH is entertaining for awhile but the guy fucks up almost everything he does. He has a hard time figuring out how to use products, has no idea how to cook with them, or cook period generally speaking, is constantly spilling, makes the same mistake over and over while testing. It's kinda funny but after all these years and he hasn't gotten any better...I think he might just be pretty dumb and got really lucky with his channel. Which is good for him, I just got tired of it. Plus he reuses a lot of old videos, which means he's not even putting in effort anymore most of the time and just doing it for an easy cash grab.
CRH changed so much over the years, I remembered when he still did science experiments
I'll take this normal guy with laid back attitude over any crazy hacker any time. Also not a dog person at all but Bayley (not sure if spelled right) seems gentle enough.
@@ahandsomefridge golden retrievers are one of the most gentle and loving dogs you could ever have and extremely loyal. Most dogs are as long as they're raised right, but I find retrievers to be especially so. Had one through my childhood and and teens, she was the sweetest most loving dog
Crazy Russian Hacker has definitely lost his way. Unfortunate I guess.
I dont know how they can claim this pan "does everything", but is NOT oven safe??? Even at its price, Id still be willing to buy it due to all those Pros you listed out in this video, and I agree its a great pan for all those things. I could even deal with the bottom not holding up too well and the small metal steamer. But I can't put this thing in the oven????? Solid no for me simply because of that. That's a darn shame.
Just a hint, use the included wooden utensil to life the strainer out of the pan. It fits the curves of the handles perfectly so the strainer does not tip side to side.
I bought a Wolfgang Puck deep pan like this at a thrift store for $5. Works just as well. For as much as I cook….perfect for me. Also have a nice collection of vintage Revereware…..for when I thought I might cook someday.
I like this guy's reviews a lot but not oven safe for 145 bucks, it's an instant fail for me. For 145 bucks it should cook dinner for me, take me on a date, and talk dirty in my ear for that kind of money.
Since when does $145 get you all that!?
@@Cococonutt since 1994 I think. It was ordained on a Tuesday in July that 145$ definetly got you a dinner date and a good spanking if we are being specific but I dont have the text in front of me so I'm just going off of memory here.
A quality escort is about a grand and that’s once and a wife costs 50% of everything you have. Your expectations are quite discerning
Lmfao preach lol.
@@Cococonutt Since iron cast skillets existed
Aluminum instead of cast iron? :( no oven!!! This is basically an overpriced nonstick frypan
That’s my take. $150 is All-Clad money, nudging into Le Creuset territory (especially this time of the year, with holiday sales). Either will last a lifetime, and probably be in good enough condition to leave to your kids.
Another way to look at it: I love my Le Creuset but it is so heavy it hurts my wrist to move it around. I would think this would be quite a bit lighter
@@19Jetta but you want the weight because its density carries more heat
@@19Jetta That’s a fair point. Very fair! But I’d say there’s no end of lightweight aluminum pans that can be had for A LOT cheaper than $150. (Heck, a lot cheaper than $30, frankly).
@@seropserop I know it does and, for many dishes, I use my heavy cookware. But sometimes I just don't want to bother dragging out a heavy pot out of the recessed corner where I store it. Maybe if I had a better storage system...
This is the best review of this kind I have enjoyed. I am certainly going to purchase this.
Yes you can cook sauce and noodles together, it takes a bit longer, but it works, as long as the sauce has enough liquid to it, I do this all the time...with a regular pan as well.
I'm so glad to see this review!! This pan has been on every Instagram influencer's stove in their background, and I know it was because it was sponsored. Although it is aesthetically pleasing, I dont think this particular one pan is worth the price tag especially if it's not oven safe!
You really have to keep using it for months to see if that shiny non-stick surface gets dull and begins to stick.
Or scrub it w steel wool
@@NathanaelGreer why would you do that?
He always gives updates after a while
@@NathanaelGreer well I don't think any non-stick pan is going to pass that test
there will be a 6 month review I'm sure
I do like the videos that you put out. This video was just as well as the rest of your videos, probably even more so. Thank you for the honest review.
Good review. I agree with doing a follow-up review at 6 months and/or a year to see if the nonstick holds up. Non-oven safe is a big turn off for me. Think you did a good job on the review and your cooking seemed good. lol. Thanks for your time.
It’s at around the 8:17 mark where he makes a tuna pasta sauce. Truly horrifying. No further did I go.
Lol
Yup, it looked so vile and inedible, that he just lost me after that. Couldn’t concentrate on anything he was saying... just kept thinking about having to eat that if served as a guest at a dinner party.
Blech ! Looks disgusting 🤮
The review is on the pan not the food. Some people just look for a reason to complain. I'm waiting.............
You missed the gourmet bean dip!
Sorry, Still can't beat my 50yr old Cast Iron Skillet passed down from my mom....
Non-stick and Oven proof....
I've got a carbon steel skillet that's non-stick, over proof, and about half the weight of cast iron. But those old cast iron skillets are great, no doubt about it. You're lucky you inherited your mom's. They're so sturdy, many generations can use them, and as you know they only get better with time if they're treated right.
Hell yeah sarge
I have my grandma’s that’s almost 100 years old. Great for everything EXCEPT acidic foods.
I do you one better a cast iron dutch oven 😁
But I bet you never used it in a dishwasher 😂😉
@@vixterrawks4171 If it's properly seasoned the acidic food won't matter, it's aluminum, stainless steel and copper pans that hate acidic foods.
Those are some horrendous recipes LOL! Loved the review!
Love your tests and honest thoughts ✨
As a Mexican I am deeply concerned about his burrito game. Dude needs help
Same!
And I know you guys saw those beans coming out that can! 😶🥴🤢. Almost sent him some homemade frijoles.
@@ggaytan7 a small part of my soul died at that moment. It was terrible
After seeing his pasta dish... I think the Italian's know how you feel ;)
😂😂😂
For that price ,i would want the pan to cook the food for me and then do the washing up..
That's why you have women. Which are also expensive.
Jess, you are hilarious, Dude.
@@DrSlick my most expensive appliance.
Nice Fiesta Ware there too. One of my favorite pans is a ceramic non-stick pan, and I recommend using a paper towel to scrape out all the leftovers you can before going to the sink. I use my favorite pan to make scrambled eggs with shredded smoked cheese.
Usually when purchasing utensils such as this; one builds a "repertoire" of various types for different uses! People used to receive these as Wedding gifts but alas "living together" and never making it to The Altar has stamped out consumer purchasing trends in recent decades. It is NOT unusual to have separate pans for variety of usage: THIS situation is the REASON why! Now my interest has been sparked; I'm going to purchase it and get "user results" from my daughters! Thank-you very much for your review of the product!
No one better make fun of this guys cookkng, he’s so wholesome!
If I'm paying 145 dollars for a pan I better be able to run over it with my truck and cook jolly ranchers in it daily . I'll keep using my granite rock pan for 19.99
I do love my granite rock. I bought it after watching the reviews here and it never disappoints.
That made me giggle, totally agree. I'm wanting to get a granite one.
I got on the wagon too late for the granite rock I have the granite Stone but I love it!
@@MinnesotaExpat granite rock definitely worth it?
@@MinnesotaExpat I’d love to hear more about how the granite rock is working out for you
Super excellent review. The pan looks impressive and your review was just spot on.
Very nice review. I’ve been seeing the advertisement and I was tempted to buy it. There are a lot of accessories that you can buy to use with the pan. They are also pricey. I’ve decided since your review to stick with what I have. The reasons were: not oven safe, the hot handle, since it weighs 4lbs I would need to use both handles to lift it with food in it.
I’m thinking Aldi’s has an almost similar pan for 25.00. I paid 75.00 for this 145.00 pan and after 6 mos everything sticks…badly!
Would have liked to see it vs the granitestone pan, or really any other pan.
I LOVE my GranitStone pans, and I paid less than half that amount for a 10 and 12 inch.
Yeah I’m surprised that he didn’t compare it like all the other nonstick pana
Granitestone is way closer to my budget, for certain.
I’ve had for about a month now and I constantly forget that the small handle is not cool to touch 🙄... other than that, I’m loving it and haven’t used another pan since
I’ve done that a few times too.
Great job on your review! My daughter has been wanting one and I shared your video!
Thanks for the bean dip recipe! was not expecting to take away that from a review video xD
Thanks for that quality content! I'm at the point in my life that I can use alot of what you have reviewed , you going out on a limb like this is so appreciated . MUCH LOVE.
I'd rather have a cast iron set that will last me centuries and cost about 10% of this
Cast iron set for $14?😳
Some people love a single $130 allclad d3 but that same person knows enough to have a $60 cast iron as well
That same person has souse vide and salt blocks to cook as well. I enjoy them all
Cast Iron is at least $50 a single pan.
Cast iron isn’t expensive for everyone doubting what he said! I’ve gotten all of mine from Aldi. I have a complete collections, Dutch ovens, skillets, etc.
Thank you for the amazing video. I was just about to purchase but didn’t know you can’t put in the oven.
Just seen a TV commercial for this and remembered you did a review :)
Your tests are always so well executed! Who is commenting on your cooking skills lol they are great
Lol except maybe that pasta with cream of chicken soup and TUNA? Eeww.
@@kathyradford7187 I thought maybe he is just doing it for "stickiness" but perhaps it is an acquired taste lol 🤣
@@kathyradford7187 Hi,
Yeah, like everyone knows tuna goes better with cream of celery soup, or cream of asparagus soup, or cream of broccoli soup, or cream of potato soup.
Everyone should know chicken 🐓 and tuna 🐟 flavors should be separated.
🐟🐓🐟🐓🐟🐓🐟🐓🐟🐓🤣😉
Take care, stay safe.☺️✌️☮️🖖😷
@@BROUBoomer😂😂
@@kathyradford7187 looked yum
I was in love with this pan and thought of buying it but I don’t like how the small side handle gets hot. Thanks for the review!
If that's the only thing putting you off about this pan, you should probably get the pan. Any cast iron or full steel pan will have a little handle like that get hot; it's just too close to the fire. It's not meant for you to pick the pan up with.
@@adde9506 that’s funny you responded with that because I still think about this pan 😂
It's weird the top and bottom seem to be 2 Different types of material.
I grew up using potholders for ones that have helper handles. Never had a problem.
Such a nice , humble , professional review ☺️ No profanity ~~~ just professionalism at its finest. Sadly something u can't find nowadays in mainstream entertainment / media . Thank you 😊 Great Review
Funnily enough, I saw an ad for this pan just two hours before this video was recommended to me.
From the ad I saw and the item itself, this seems more to be aimed at people who frequently use meal delivery services, not anyone who is realistically interested in cooking a variety of things.
Personally- I mostly tuned out when it was revealed that this isnt oven safe.
On the other hand, you did a seriously comprehensive analysis of the pan and its capabilities.
The spatula attaching to the pan even with lid on is absolutely awesome.
150 bucks and can't throw it in the oven, smh.
@@chiefcantseesogood520 I know. I've got my granite rock and a good dutch oven. What else do I need?
My 6 cast iron pans combined cost less than this pan. I'd have to buy at least 5 more to get to it's price
Allclad d3 best pan in the world 130 emdb
I bet they say that because they designed the wooden spatula to rest on the handle and that could catch fire if someone forgot to remove the spatula.
There's pan sets that are high quality that cost $150. $150 is too steep for me.
I'm totally making that bean dip. Looks so good!
James, nicely done review! Thank you!
