    Would love to see a review of how All Clad, Made In, and Heritage Steel all perform on different burner types. I may not have the benefit of cooking with gas any time soon. Perhaps the responsiveness of Made In is a liability on electric stoves which cycle. If so, which brand is more versatile?

    I own many stainless steel pans - mauviel, allclad, made-in, and Heritage Steel Eater series.
    All are great, but I should have chosen Heritage steel for most of my pans. These are no brainer.
    Same high quality as all top companies , but more fun to use and more affordable.
    Great product work.

      Want to get at least the 5 piece set when its back in stock, glad to hear the Eater series still performs very well. The titanium seem amazing and i may get OCD too much with that polished finish. But theyre both 5 layer…assuming the titanium just has tiny bit better durability. I have carbon steel and cast iron and want stainless next when i can afford it. Glad to see this company isnt advertising any BS

I can’t wait to cook with my titanium 10 pieces Heritage steel cookware when it arrives through UPS so I can compare also from my set of Salad Master, All Clad & Viking cookwares I’m collecting. Hope next purchase that I’m contemplating is to have Maid In, De Buyer and Staub would be my next future collection. I need to Save money 💰 1st cuz these high end cookwares are not from Dollar Store now I’m broke lol 😆 anyway Than’x for sharing your excellent reviews 👍 I already subscribed especially all Bloggers in cookwares.

    Another benefit to the 316Ti surface is the denser molecular structure which may aid in providing that food is less likely to stick, although you will still need to follow the same procedures for such as you would for any SS....with maybe a little less fat.

  • @bohemiansusan2897
    @bohemiansusan2897 Рік тому +6

    Something folks need to realize about manufacturing is that the American work force largely lacks the skills needed and that we lack factories at home. Retooling a factory isn't cheap by any means.
    America basically closed all the steel mills in the 80s. So it has to come from overseas. That is the reality we live in. Also 40% of the work force cannot afford either Heritage Steel or All-Clad. Though Lodge cast iron is the same price or come down in price in the last four years.
    There is such a thing as being a cookware snob and that cookware is more of a status symbol. My set of stainless steel is compromised of things from different brands because no one brand makes the best of everything. I've been using the same cookware for over 30 years and its just as nice as when I got it. I've cooked professionallyfor years.
    Heritage Steel has a really nice 8 qt saute pan that is a total dream. I've had it for a few years now. The competition doesn't have anything like it.

    • @PrudentReviews
      @PrudentReviews  11 місяців тому

      They are very different but I’d go with Heritage Steel because it can last forever and is more versatile (can use it for broiling, searing, pan sauces, etc.). However, if you cook a lot of eggs and nonstick properties are important, food is less likely to stick to HexClad.
      What type of cooking are you planning to use the pans for? If you provide more info, I can give you a better recommendation.

    The best U.S.-made cookware is Lodge, hands down. Cast iron cooks great.

Rice, biscuits, pizza, stir-fry, casseroles, soups, lasagna, curry, custard and puddings ... literally everything.

    I am looking to buy a 12 inch stainless steel fry pan that is dishwasher safe. Would you recommend the Heritage steel titanium series or the Misen pan? I am more concerned with quality than where it is made. Thanks for the great video!

    • @PrudentReviews
      @PrudentReviews  11 місяців тому

      Both are good quality and have similar construction and materials. The one difference in materials is the 316Ti steel I mentioned in this video. I haven’t noticed much of a difference but 316Ti is more resistant to putting. Otherwise, there are minor differences in handle design, the slope of the walls, and exterior finish (HS has a polished exterior, Misen is brushed). HS titanium is more expensive but the Eater series is closer to Misen.

    • @PrudentReviews
      @PrudentReviews  Рік тому +3

      I don't know of any stainless steel handles that are made in the USA, but I'm reaching out to brands to find out. All-Clad, Heritage Steel, and 360 Cookware get their handles from China. I believe several cast iron brands are fully made in the USA (Lodge, Stargazer, Field, etc.).

    • @gagesaenz3864
      @gagesaenz3864 11 місяців тому

      From what I can find online, everything is USA made with Heritage Steel, the metal itself is sourced from South Korea. I can't find any USA brands that source the material from the USA. This is likely because the USA does not produce low cost stainless steel. USA sourced stainless would likely have you buying $1,000 frying pans.

  • @Prxyshj

    Yea but it has rivets on the inside. Demeyere, Hestan, Matfer Bourgeat, and a few others don’t and are easier to clean as a result. I don’t think Heritage has sealed rims either. And as I recall, like All Clad and others, I think some of the pieces (handles or lids?) may be made outside of the USA.

    • @PrudentReviews
      @PrudentReviews  Рік тому +3

      The rims are not sealed but they are noticeably more smooth from the grinding and polishing. The lids are made in the USA but the handles are made in China.

    • @Prxyshj
      @Prxyshj Рік тому +3

      From prudent reviews website: “Global Materials: Despite emphasizing American manufacturing, Heritage Steel still sources some raw materials globally. For example, the bonded sheets of steel used to form each pan are sourced from South Korea, and the handles are made in China.”

      @@PrudentReviews I have done a lot of research before I bought these pans and the first time I use them they had these weird scratches on the bottom of them on the outside of the pans, and when I boiled some noodles, you could see the indentation of the noodles at the bottom of the pan and the noodles, never stuck to the bottom of the pan, so I’m not sure what that was about. When you try to reach out to them, they are very short with you and they just don’t care. You can only return these if you have not used them so how does that make sense? People need to use them to find out if they’re good quality or not and these are not good quality .
