Canadian guy here. Would it be possible to test Meyer and KitchenAid?
@@muzikgod the latest Kitchenaid reviews are indicative of major quality decrease.
@@ohnoyce They have new cookware that I'm curious about so your reply is worthless.
Could you please do a review on KitchenAid 5 ply stainless steel cookware. Lots of good reviews in Costco website. They also have sealed rims and flat handles and better price when compared to high end stainless steel cookware,, but not sure what kind of stainless steel they are using.
@@jonucartoon That's one of the cookware sets I'd like him to look into, and the other is their Hard-Anodized Induction Nonstick Cookware Set.
My sister-in-law has the caraway said she purchased them because they look good. She doesn’t cook so they should maintain their beauty forever.😂
She's the ideal customer :)
😂@@PrudentReviews
Hahaha
Lol your funny
No, he said he took the headrest off so he could wear his cowboy hat. Really!
Wow, this channel has been pumping out some of the highest quality content around kitchen equipment I've seen in years. Thank you so much ❤
Glad you enjoy it!
Wow, 45 pans! Now that's dedication to a cause! I didn't see Caphalon in the pans you reviewed. I think their stainless steel pans are a decent weight, durable, have a good handle, and a useful second handle. What I didn't realize is that the interior of the Caphalon pan is relatively well polished and does not have a "brushed" appearance. This polished surface lends itself to a more non-stick performance and, most importantly, does not cause food to adhere - bonding itself into the scratches - so cleaning a polished pan is a lot easier than cleaning a brushed surface pan. We once had bought a set of All Clad stainless but found the cleanup to be really difficult because of the brushed/somewhat more textured cook surface. The amount of polishing the cooking surface has might be a good thing to check on your future reviews. Thanks for the comprehensive review!
After cooking for more than 30 years I'd say forget all non-stick pans, get cast iron, carbon steel or stainless. Carbon steel and stainless steel are my favorites, I use them every day.
Strongly seconded. There’s a reason CS is standard in most commercial kitchens. They’re very inexpensive and are the most versatile category.
I have never had a cast iron skillet that cooked as well as my mom's time tested skillet. I'm thinking it takes a few decades of seasoning to get that level of non-stick performance.
Would like to see you review Tramontina tri-ply stainless frying pans. I just bought a two pack, 10 and 12 inch frying pans, for $30. Not only low-priced, they cook great. I've got several pieces of Tramontina non-stick, all bought cheap at Costco, they are some of my favorite cookware, use them constantly.
I found this very useful, and I appreciate the rapid delivery of key bullet points coupled with links for those who want to delve deeper. Well done and thanks!
I bought the 10" and 12" OXO professional non stick pans - based on America's Test Kitchen review - and for everyday use, I've had great luck with them
I was surprised these weren't included as popular as they are.
No kitchenaid stuff either
The point of the copper pans is to heat up fast and cool down fast. Its not designed to retain heat and should not be de merited. The point of copper is to be able to change quickly and thus why man people have trouble cooking with it because they are used to steel which retains its heat.
Maybe commercial burners have a better ability to utilize the advantages of coppers properties, perhaps more control of heat intensity and even gas distribution.
Well done!
I have the Demeyere 7-ply frypan (9 in.) and 3.5 qt. saucier (very versatile).
Excellent once you learn how to dial in the heat for non-stick cooking.
Expensive but good value and with proper maintenance, you'll eventually pass them on.
The Demeyere 7-ply pan is amazing.
Love your concise information. I would like to see the same format with sauce pans.
I’ve had a big set of All Clad that I bought in 1999. Still perfect. I got tired of buying a new T-Fal non-stick every 6 months so I just bought my 1st carbon steel, Ballarini Professionale Series 3000 11" Carbon Steel Fry Pan. Would love to see more carbon steel reviews. I haven’t washed it yet or started seasoning it, yet. Wish me luck! I can’t wait until it is nice and black!
Very well put together comparison! My only question is why you didn't review the Tramontina nonstick 10" skillet. I purchased that size and the 8" for use on my GE Electric range and have been very happy with them.
I have silver 7, finex, lodge, clun aluminum, and a couple blue diamond pans and they are among my favorites due to light weight, I've had them over a year and no problems. Great video
omg such a structural informative friendly to understand review. Respect your hard work!
This video should have way more views. Thank you so much for all the work you put into this
I appreciate that!
Great review! Just my opinion but I don’t buy cast iron based on seasoning and or seasoning finish. I buy Lodge and put them in the oven set to “Clean” and remove the original seasoning. I have never found a factory seasoning as good as one I have done myself.
I have lots of comments! Firstly, we recently got pet birds, and because of that I have been needing to do lots of research into alternatives to PTFE (teflon) nonstick. PTFE, when overheated, can off gas vapors that are generally harmless to adult humans, but can kill birds within minutes. So finding alternative nonstick, and learning to cook better with stainless, carbon steel, and cast iron is important. Videos like this really help. In regards to specific pans... goddamn that Stargazer is gorgeous. Also I absolutely despise the typical geometry found in carbon steel pans. You mention that for most pans you've tested, the percentage of flat cooking area to overall diameter is about 76%, but in the case of the Made-In (and almost all other carbon steel pans) the usable percentage is a bit under 73%. They feel crowded, no matter how big they say they are. I hate it! Also although we are trying to phase out nonstick skillets, I would definitely recommend checking out commercial nonstick skillets made by Tramontina and Winco. In spite of their generally low prices, I've found them to perform excellently and be widely available. Nonstick skillets are perishable, so their price should definitely reflect that.
I love your videos!! They are so helpful and informative!!
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you like them :)
@@PrudentReviews I watched another review on frying pans and the person did test on how evenly they cooked and it seemed that a lot of them, including Made In, failed in this test. These pans tended to have more hot spots instead of evenly distributing the heat. It turned out that Granite Stone was one of the better ranked ones, though there were drawbacks for every pan that he tested. I do also wonder why you didn't test the Matfer Bourgeat Black Carbon Steel Fry Pan (9 1/2). That pan has been recommended by America's Test Kitchen. ua-cam.com/video/eDKZp685Je4/v-deo.html It is also not as expensive as some of the others on your list and as long as the pan is cleaned properly and seasoned before it is used the first time, it will not stick, unlike some of the other pans you have suggested here.
You saved us precious time while shopping for a frying pan. Many thanks! :)
Impressive amount of reviews in a concise video! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
« concice video » ???
15 minutes !!!
I haven't tried a lot of pans, but the Demeyere Atlantis has been absolutely transformative for saute-ing.
So helpful. The Demeyere Industry 11" fry pan is great. I wish it had a cover. Very good size cooking surface, which is why I prefer it over my 10" D3 (I bought it during a fab Zwilling sale). I now worry about rivetless handle!
Informative, quick and TO THE POINT. Excellent review of so many pans. Thanks for the tips!! I'll definitely use the links.
excellent video !! A lot of info in a short time, well presented, got me the info I wanted and there are couple of pans in this video that look interesting to me that I might buy, so very usefull video :) Next up, look at your kitchen knives comparison :)
Thank you so much! Glad you found it helpful. The comparison table I linked in the pinned comment should be helpful if you're comparing a few options. There's a version embedded in the article and I link to a PDF version that might be a little easier to read. Best of luck!
Great video! I’ve been using lodge cast iron for about 2 years now and it’s my favorite pan, but I recently bought a set of Cuisinart stainless steel MultiClad Pro Triple Play, and I was pleasantly surprised! For a little over $200 you get a 12 piece set of excellent quality pots and pans with stainless steel lid.
I would love to see your review on those.
Thank you! I plan to do a review of Cuisinart MultiClad Pro soon.
I have lodge, stargazer, smithey, and butterpat…if you’re just going to have 1 pan, ide say stargazer..if money is no issue, then Butterpat..if money is tight, there’s nothing wrong with lodge!!
@@rstumbaugh43curious, what do you like about Butterpat that makes it better than Stargazer and Smithey?
I was hoping you would review the Titanium Always Pan pro, more than I want to spend but I’m falling for their pitch of non-stick no coating due to the structure of the surface. What are your thoughts?
Awesome video thanks for the hard work ensuring your knowledge and experience thank you I am really interested in the Kirkland stainless steel and I would love to see your reviews on that line. I hope I’m lucky enough where you get to review them in the future!
I haven't reviewed Kirkland yet but it's on the list!
Extremely concise review! Profound and convincing. I fully agree that price is not always a good indicator for either quality or performance.
Despite the large number of pans tested, I sense some good products were left out. Tefal is an obvious choice for a medium-priced, well-made non-stick pan. No enamel-coated cast iron pan was tested at all. I love the Staub cast iron products. I also strongly recommend the Zwilling Pro stainless steel line. It is affordable and performs very well.
There’s lots more to review, expect a part 2 at some point
@@PrudentReviews What amazes me is the willingness of some people to spend astronomous sums of money for comparably bad (if not entirely bad) products. There is a category of silliness in the American product market that seems to be solely based on hyperbole marketing. But people do fall for it. I wonder whether it is a lack of long-established brands in the upper tier of the market that people know and trust (such as All Clad).
Just bought my first stainless steel pan. I got the 12 inch Made In. Loving it so far!
Good choice!
Good Video but I'm partial to blue diamond. I have a 8,10 frypan, griddle, and 11" wok I have had them over a year, I'm still impressed with them. At a low temperature they seem to work flawlessly. I have a set of Demeyere Silver 7 they are impressive extremely heavy. Lodge several models. I also picked up some finex cast iron 12" frypan 7qt dutch oven, de buyer professional 12". I'm a pan junky. My sister is the one that mentioned the blue diamond. I have no scratches or chips, I also happen to like lighter pans for different things some things I think are personal preference. The funny thing when I worked in country club they use basic bare aluminum pans that season well, I use to make the crepes for blintzes in them superb. I'm looking forward to your review of the titanium pan I see surfacing. I looking forward to strata Kickstarter pan stainless out side carbon steel interior.
I’ve seen a few of the pricey pans you mention at TJ Maxx every now and then. I’ll keep an eye out next time I go. Very informative vid 👍
Alwalys nice and helpful video. I was curious about OXO non-stick and stainless but I suppose you need to make a choice
Thank you! Haven't tested OXO yet but plan to soon
Very helpful video, especially considering the price of cookware these days. I have the Ninja and another pan that didn’t get mentioned but that is very similar to the Ninja, the OXO stick free. I like both of them. Thank you.
Great video brother but Matfer carbon steel for me for ever!🙏🙏🙏
a great video! love it. Even though i won't buy anything, i still like watching these.
Just an fyi .. pan diameter is measured inside to inside lip not outside to outside, it's also supposed to be a standard for lid sizing. ✌
Over the past 5 or 6 years I have collected nearly all of the cookware made by OXO, including their nonstick and stainless steel pans. (I got a very good deal on them--more than 50% off.) OXO makes some wonderful pans, too. I use them almost every day along with my Lodge pieces. After 5+ years my OXO pans still look great and perform beautifully.
I'm planning to test OXO very soon. Good to hear you like them.
@@PrudentReviews Nice. Was wondering if you would. America's Test Kitchen recommended the OXO Good Grips nonstick pan, and was wondering what you thought of it.
I have owned tons of the All Clad D3 , Master chef 2 , LTD2 Mauviel M'Cook (if you can find it)and Viking is great too ( but the Belgium ones ) And yes I even have the very basic Farberware classic..............simple and cheap !!! American made All Clad is a great choice , period !!!
I'm outlooking you ever replacing them so I won't sealed rims though
@@NoZenith I like to have a variety of pans and I used to sell Kitchen supplies and like new stuff anyways but buy it used many !!!
My favorite pan..which I left behind in my last move was made by Martha Stewart. Thick stainless with a copper bottom and a silicone sleeved handle
I bought several Hestan pans. Stainless and titanium. Love them!
I’ll be posting my in-depth review of Hestan next week 😀
For the price, Legend copper core might be a really good option for stainless steel on induction! That copper should help quite a bit with heating evenly, but it wont be as good as a Deymyere proline.
I've had All-Clad D3 pans for almost 25 years. Except for the issue with the rims, they are excellent pans and practically indestructible. I've never regretted buying them or my Le Creusets.
2 Brands I would be interested in seeing in your reviews/comparisons are Vigor and Vollrath. Both are available through Webstaurant and I am curious how they compare to the retail brands. I like my Vigor SS3 Saucier and have been thinking about adding other pieces but I would also like to see where those options fit in this crowded marketplace.
My wife loves her Hestan nanobond. It did cost around $400 but we will be able to pass it to the kids
Very well done review, wish I'd have stumbled upon it before buying my first carbon steel.
I'd be very curious about your opinion of Darto carbon steel pans or anyone in this comments section.
Thank you very much. I have not tried Darto yet but plan to
I know you’re not a proponent of celebrity cookware, but I’ve have the Emeril fully clad copper core stainless for many years (think I bought it in the mid 90’s, but it could have been later). Really like it, including the glass lids. Main “complaint” is the handles are thru-riveted, making cleaning harder than a welded handle or flush riveted.
I also have the Lodge Classic cast iron, I agree it’s a very good value.
It's been 20 years since my Cookshop days, there are sure a lot of new pans on the market. I have three Heritage The Rock nonstick pans and they are superior to the Starfrit iRock pans, much thicker and are on sale every second month at Canadian Tire for 75% off ... I do recommend them. Thanks for the info!
Great video! 😊 Thanks! Would love to see your take on a comparison of high-end cast iron: smithey, stargazer, field, finex. Most comparisons are sort of subjetive IMHO.
Great suggestion! I'm planning to do a video comparing Lodge, Stargazer, Smithey, and Field very soon.
Outstanding reviews. Great job! I Couldn’t thank you enough! Impressive!
Great video - thanks for getting right to the point and not wasting time. I am looking for a non-stick pan and this helps. For anyone looking for stainless steel, I have been using All-Clad Copper Core for about 12 years and love it!
Excellent video, it aligns with the research I've been doing over the past few months. I ended up going with nanobond for my home and Demeyere Atlantis for my family's home (they have induction)
Some brands I ran across while researching that are not in this video: Borough Furnace, Lancaster Cast Iron, Ruffoni (copper and stainless)
Can you compare thes two that you have? what is the key difference that make you choose Nanobond over other pan? I'm so interrested in Nanobond after the review but its price is too high :(
Excellent review! I do wish you had included De Buyer carbon steel.
Thx for the Review. Did you ever try a silampos product?
Something I noticed about the Great Jones pan that really shows it’s just for looks is the fact that they have their logo etched into the cooking surface. I wonder why no one else does that?😂
Caphalon is everywhere. I was hoping you'd of included that brand in your opinion of quality.
You should do a video on which pans are the safest. Free of all the unnecessary junk
thank you for your work!!! no idea how I ended up here but I enjoyed this review - recently I gave a set of stainless steel cuisinart to my sister because it was cheaper than most, but she's afraid to use it ha!! I'll stay on the look for your review on that brand!!!
Thank you! It’s coming soon :)
Nice video, can you test please Falk Flandria Serie or Signature Serie?
Whoa! A lot of pans to test. I downloaded the PDF your provided (thank you) but what I am looking for is a lightweight nonstick enameled 11" or so skillet to cook eggs, quiche, large omelets. Do you have any recommendations? Thank you.
I was leaning towards Caraway but after this video. Misen and that Heston Nano Bond.
Thank you for such detailed work! I'm really thinking about the Demeyere skillet, but I really am concerned about the welded handle. I saw in your video that you had one with a handle that came off. If I was to go for one of the all clad stainless skillets instead, which one of them would you recommend? I use gas now, but plan to move to induction in the next few years.
I was also thinking about investing in one of their pans, but the idea of the handle coming off is concerning.
I purchased a FORGED IN FIRE pan, for a test on my cooking channel. The pan has been a very much a fav pan to use. It is getting to the point that it is sticking, and smoking when it is used. I am guessing it is getting to the end of its life..
I learned recently that Target now sells their own cookware line called Figmint. Would like to see you do a review on that. They look similar to Caraway's cookware but a lot cheaper. Their tri-ply 12 inch skillet is $30 and includes a lid.
No Tromantina Professional or T-Fal Platinum, huh? Those two are my favs as far as cost-performance and they both punch way above their weight. I can get a good sear on steak using butter and ghee and eggs stay non-stick. Best balance of as many features as possible, imo. Big list, though, so thanks for that. Quite encompassing
@Prudent Reviews you chose the wrong circulon model.. You should try the new series sold at Costco and other retailers. In my opinion using induction stove it is superb and the non-stick surface is top of the line. I chose this brand when I heard about it as my 12 year old shallow circulon pan still makes amazing plate sized pancakes. I am speaking of A1 series
Thanks for the info!
Thanks a lot mate, I appreciate your work. Decided on two All-Clad units, stainless and non-stick to replace a worn out non-stick and warped stainless. I have a glass top stove and the rocking and uneven heating annoys the hell out of me.
Wish you included the caphalon cladded frying pans. They look great and you can find them cheap at discount stores.
Great review!!! And very helpful, thank you!
Good review. So much information, it will take time to digest.
Was that an intended pun😂
I followed your suggestion and purchased the All Clad essentials... its a good pan. However you said it has a good handle and i feel like it easily rotates in your hand as the sides are more rounded. I wish you would have made that notation as you did make this for other brands. I feel i have to choke up on the handle to really make sure i have a good grasp on it.
Excellent video but I wish you had included Tramontina, OXO, and Cuisinart
Another great video. Thank you so much for this info. I may have to save up for that Atlantis. It’s beautiful!
Looking for a new 14” non-stick frying pan. Usually I make fried rice, chicken Marsala, French toast, fish, seafood pasta, various meats and vegetables, taco fillings etc., in good size batches. Current and prior pan is Analon hard anodized Advanced. It has held up really well but is starting to show some wear. What’s your recommendation for a new 14” non-stick. I’ve looked on line at a few but can’t really tell much by raw specification data.
Heat retention and heat responsiveness are mutually exclusive. Each has their benefits.
An amazing job of summarizing.
Thank you
I'm impressed you don't have any DeBuyer nor Darto
Agreed. I have DeBuyer carbon steel and it has been great. Forgiving enough to learn carbon steel use & maintenance with, and works great for a more seasoned (pun intended) cook 3+ years in... ;-)
Best non stick or carbon steel pan for an induction oven exclusively for cooking eggs?
Great indepth reviews dude. Thank you as always.
Thank you!
@@PrudentReviews You said that you would compare cutting boards, wood versus plastic.
Also in one of your many upcoming videos can you do a review on the best automatic sharpening tool.
Not a stone, but automatic... Electric, guided, etc.... THANK YOU!
@@kpnitrl38 good idea. It will take time. I have the next few months scheduled
I just want to put in my 2 cents, for non stick I just buy cheap enamel pans right now it's the Rachel Ray pans, they last about 6 months to a year depending on how you care for them. When they start chipping or stuff starts sticking recycle them... but I should also point out 80-90% of my cooking is done on a lodge cast iron.
After watching this video twice. I understand all but the finale -- best quality SS skillets. I don't understand why you relegate Misen to the budget category. Based solely on your reviews, it seems comparable to Made In, and even better in some ways -- esp its flared, sealed edges and more comfortable handle, all with a better price. I don't see a direct Misen to Made In comparison video, please consider one!
O Wow what an extensive review! Thanks
What do you think of Cristel?
Where is your review of Deane & White (D&W) bring l frying pan? Can you please include your thoughts and evaluation that brand?
Great video! You know what would be great, if you could do a video that reviews the celebrity chef cookware. This is a category that I think deserves some review. Many consumers buy cookware based on the celebrity's name that is on it. For example, I believe that Gordon Ramsey endorses the worst stainless cookware ever made. I only know this because I found some at a thrift store and it was priced to move. I should have saved my money! Still, I'd like to see how these rank.
I'm always surprised by bad Great Jones reviews, haha. I got the Fry Family duo in 2021 bf sale, have used them since then, and think they've held up really well and work great. I also love the handle and I don't find it hard to clean at all. Also the heat retention thing...I don't know how I could "tell"? Like, it's on the stove top, the stove is warming it continually. They say stove safe to 500, and I've chucked them into the oven with some regularity and been fine. Admittedly I am also quite lazy, and I usually put them in the dishwasher even though hand washing is "recommended." I don't find stuff still lingering in the handle or anything, whether or not I pre-rinse the handle by hand. Basically I don't baby them and they're doing good. How many years should I expect to get from a great nonstick pan?
Thank you. Carbon steel reviews?
Coming soon
I totally agree about Circulon.
I totally agree about Blue Diamond. Last non-stick I ever bought, completely turned me against non-stick. I'm in the carbon steel and stainless steel camps now.
Thank you for a very interesting comparison. Perhaps it's also time to do a mass comparison of the new generation of generic imported pans like the multitudes you find on Amazon, etc. such as Delarlo, Lolykitch, and others that advertise many of the same features and performance of the mid- to higher-priced pans I've seen on your reviews. Apparently they are pretty popular and occupy a broad space in the lower-cost segment that deserves to be looked at, especially as people are trying very hard to save money but still want something with decent performance and quality. It would be nice to know if they deliver on their promises - or not!
Great suggestion! I’m working on something like that but focused on non-stick.
Out of curiosity, I looked for all of them here in Europe. Except for two (Demeyere and Hestan), all others don't exist here or are way more expensive. It's crazy because other products are generally found here, not for fry pans, apparently.
Still happy with my Le Creuset 3-Ply and De Buyer Affinity
Interesting. Is All-Clad in Europe?
Vollrath wear-ever, OXO, Green Pan tri-ply, Tramotina tri-ply often sold as house brand at Warehouse stores. All highly rated pans not in the competition .
Anyone else root for their pan?
Like a March Madness for pans, eh. “16th seed Cinderellon has upset #3 seed Steady Stainless!” 😅
The Ninja pan review had me rolling 🤣
Damn! You work your ass off. Thank you for your hard work.
You’re welcome - this one took a while but it will hopefully help a lot of people
great review, thanks for sharing
But you never mentioned tramontina, too bad?
Tramontina Professional non-stick and Tramontina Tri-Ply Clad are two great collections. Unfortunately, I gave those pans away before making this video so I couldn't get the true specs and footage. I may re-buy them in the future to film a proper review.
@@PrudentReviews Would you recommend them then? Costco has a deal where you get a 12.5" and 8" tri-ply for $29.99.
@@parth7092YES I WOULD RECOMMEND THESE , AND WOUKD LIVE TO SEE A REVIEW
i have no clue where to start or which should be my first!?
I like the straight handles on the All Clad D3 original better than the "Upgraded" Everyday curved version personally.
I am downsizing. What do you think of the removable handles and stacking options? I would love a set like the Carote. Is there a good option? Don't judge!! :)
I haven’t tested Carot so can’t speak to that particular brand. But in general, I’m not a big fan of the detachable handles. They are simply not as sturdy and usually have mechanisms that can break. Instead, I would focus on just buying the essentials like a fry pan, saucepan and stock pot. Stainless steel is durable and versatile. You don’t need a ton of pans, a few good ones will do 90% of it. Email me at Andrew@PrudentReviews.com if you have specific questions, I can give you some resources and 1:1 advice.
Thank you for this! Any thoughts on the Le Creuset enameled cast iron pans?
They’re excellent but expensive
I'm getting pretty good with my americcraft. Stateless steel while I'm practicing. Seeing what I want to get into... And I think a nano bond is in my near future
I have a Nanobond 8" pan. It's beautiful, cooks well, cleans wonderfully easy, and was a loss leader when I bought it.
Watch out for sales. And if you buy direct from Hestan, they throw in a full bottle of polish.
@lizcademy4809 thank you! Cooking a lot of little things, definitely need this smaller skillet. I'm gonna need a bigger one as well. So those were the 2 big items (with lids) I figured I'd purchase in that line. I still haven't decided if I want the 11 or the 13 inch. Or whatever it is
@@NoZenith I bought my 8" (9"?) skillet ayear ago for $119, just a bit more than an All-Clad D3 factory second. From Hestan, the shipping was free and as I said, they threw in a full bottle of polish.
The pan has spoiled me ... I now want one of the everything pans, I'm not sure which size.
One thing to note - America's Test Kitchen gave the pan a minus point because it discolors. It does, but it's not bad and cleans up immediately with a tiny drop of polish. It doesn't bother me, but if you want your pans to look shiny new all the time, it's something to note.
@lizcademy4809 I thoroughly appreciate your response! I want a Pan i can throw in the dishwasher when I don't feel like cleaning. And I want something that isn't going to be damaged when I mess up since I'm not an experienced cook, but I'm learning. I also wanna reduce my learning curve and just have it work with everything I wanna do and this pan seems to be that sweet spot, if you don't necessarily Need non stick
I recently bought electric rice cooker/ steamer. Is there a good safe frying pan? Similar?
