Definitely worth it tho, I started buying Made-In pans around 4 years ago. Still using the very same ones that I bought. Seriously good pans

I inherited an assortment of D3-D5 All-clad from my grandmother. After restoring them they have performed better than any pans I've used in 20 years of cooking in commercial kitchens.

I agree with you. Allclad is number one in my book and they are not low cost. You can spend a lot but worth it.

Bought a 13 piece set of all clad from Costco about 4 years ago, the best pans to use. Can throw them in the oven/broiler up to 600f°, which most home ovens only hit 550 so they can never get messed up. Stainless some really good crust on steaks. Never have to worry about Teflon flakes going into food either. They hold an annual sale every year. They're also pretty light compared to any cast iron pans. Also tomatoes/acid food will not leach an iron taste into food using stainless

In about 1996 I bought a set of All-Clad 5-ply pans, it was three sauce pans with lids, a 12" skillet with lid, and a couple other general purpose pans that are great for cooking pasta and casseroles. After nearly 30 years they are still like new, and we use them all the time. You can't go wrong with quality stainless cookware. I do love me some cast iron and enamel coated cast iron too.

If you’re tight on money but don’t want to sacrifice quality, I also always recommend learning the features that signify quality, maybe some good brands, and checking out the thrift store!! There’s a lot of low quality stuff but you’d be surprised what you can find! I have two vintage copper bottom revere ware pots that I found (and after I cleaned them up) I absolutely love them

I've bought a couple of five ply stainless steel pans for less than $15 each. One was an All-Clad D5 and the other was a Cutco. I thought Cutco only made knives, but the pan is decent.

Demeyere industry are amazing. Handles way more comfortable than all-clad and no rivets inside the pan

I have a set of Revere ware stainless steel pans with copper bottoms. Most of these pans are over 30 years old. I bought one by one at the thrift store for around $6 each. Cleaned up nicely with Bar Keeper Cleanser. These work horse pans are like the old Timex watches. They take alickin" but still keep ticking".

Just got demeyere industry a couple months back and absolutely love it. It’s still lightweight enough to flip around but it’s very solid

I haven't seen Cuisinart mentioned in any of your videos yet. I'm quite happy with the 3 ply stainless steel/copper set i bought almost 10 years ago.

Can you make a video on the best of the best minimalist cookware items for 1-2 people?

Get a used Griswold cast iron pan off of Ebay. Just make sure they say the pan is not warped. If you get a good pan, it will be your favorite cast iron pan and much better overall than Lodge. You can also sand down the Lodge pans to make the surface much smoother, but it is a pain to do. I used a rotary sander with a corse grit to remove some of the surface of the Lodge frying pan I have. It is better, but still not a smooth as the Griswold.

I bought a set of inexpensive stainless cookware, once. ONCE, because they have lasted that long. Well.....until I got old abd broken and need caregivers that is. Now I have one pan that is discolored and a few of them have been thrown away because I couldn't get anyone to clean them. That hurt my soul. I've replaced them with cheap non stick pans.

@@1streylight I don't do much cooking anymore but yeah, I really miss my stainless. I had quite a collection of old copper bottom pans I really loved. I also had some really sweet cast iron I miss terribly. Oh well. We can't take it with us right? I do intend to leave what I still have and am acquiring to my grandaughter. She loves to cook and she's really good at it. Warms my heart ❤️

Carbon steel is what I changed to after 40 years of cooking, would never go back to SS. Convection cooktop is also the best.

Vollrath Wearever also makes good, durable nonstick pans. Many commercial kitchens have them.

We have had Scanpans for over a decade and they are all perfect and NOTHING sticks to their nonstick surface, lifetime warranty.

I think the heritage steel, is the best bang for your buck, as they are 5 ply. Unlike many of the others listed. And the even offer a nano titanium if that’s your thing, and can’t beat the price for what you get!!

Heritage steel titanium series it serves me well😊

I love my blue diamond collection. I cook 5-6 days a week for dinner and the next day’s lunch. I’ve had them almost a year and all are spottless and look to have no heavy wear

Odd that you don’t mention Cuisinart stainless steel pans

Thanks great tips!

Please help. I’ve owned my Saladmaster T304-S tri-clad stainless steel “waterless” cookware set for over 40 years. We recently bought an induction stove. Since my Saladmaster set is made of stainless steel, I expected no issues using it on the new stove. To my shock, the 11” skillet doesn’t work on induction. Every other piece of the set works fine, so why doesn’t the skillet (which is supposedly made of the same stainless steel) work on induction too?

I am downsizing. What do you think about the handle less, nesting options like Carote?

I was surprised by how well I liked a Goldilocks pan I bought recently. Honestly if I was setting up my kitcheñ for the first time, I would by Goldilocks.

I have a lot of cast iron , it’s hard to say which is better,.. like a screwdriver or a wrench? Both tools needed for different things, so what’s better? See? ..I like the stargazer as an all around great skillet..field is light, great skillets..nothing wrong with Lodge, a great workhorse..can’t really say which is better..use the right tool for the right job. Stargazer is a multitasker. If I were to buy 1 only, ide get either Butterpat, or stargazer. If you need light, lodge blacklock, or field

What do you think of Tramontina? Lots of good reviews from other people. Very affordable, heats evenly and is built well.

My stainless and cast iron pans are extremely nonstick. The only reason for an actual “nonstick” is for eggs. I find that both cast iron and stainless require too much heat for eggs. But if you like your eggs well done or laced, then go ahead with stainless and cast iron

No matter what, in the NBA, contracts can be moved. Klay will be just fine for 2-3 years. He will be the stepping stool to what's next

Teach yourself to cook on a well seasoned carbon steel pan, and you will never have to waste your money replacing non stick pans again. Plus no chemicals.

Non of these. Good carbon steel is forever.

Ceramic pans? Not much out there about them but have had my eyes on the Techef CeraTerra ones

Don’t buy non stick at all. They are all garbage. From the cheapest to the most expensive, I’ve tried them all, scratch and chipped even after using all the utensils they tell you to use. Garbage pans, waste of money.

hated stainless when cooking and went to granite, so happy

Stainless steel pans are trash.

I pressed like but then you began to suggest toxic Teflon “non-stick” pans and I unliked. Anyone reading this: the steel options he talks about are good and non toxic, but the non stick pans are very dangerous to your health.
