I only owned cast iron and carbon cookware. I watched countless videos and decided to get a stainless steel pan. ATK rated the D3 allclad the best so ordered one. Well it never made it past holding it. The handle is thin,curved, and extremely uncomfortable. Kept spinning in my hand. Sent it back and purchased the madein. Used it for the first time yesterday and love it.

The All-Clad handle is not cushy, and that's by design. It's not for everyone of course, but if you found that it kept spinning in your hand, then you likely were holding it incorrectly. One of the reasons that ATK likes the handle so much is that when you're holding it correctly (with your thumb in the groove), it is actually more spin resistant than most handles.

I own Victoria, Lodge,Stargazer,Matfer, Griswold, Missen, Madein, and numerous other companies products. I have never had a problem holding a single one. The allclad has a poorly designed handle in my opinion. I have a wide hand and could not get a comfortable grip on it even with my thumb in the groove. Trust me I was excited when it came and wanted to love it. Was really hesitant about sending it back but knew I would never use it.

If you haven't completely been turned off from All-Clad, you may like their D3 Everyday line, which has a completely redesigned handle, or the D3 "Curated" line, exclusive to Crate and Barrel, which also has a differently redesigned handle.

One suggestion (actually, I wish everyone producing cooking videos would do this): whenever you refer to "keep it on low heat, medium heat, whatever".... please zoom in on the flame so we have a visual representation of what exactly you mean by low/med/high. Everyone has different settings on their stove and everyone has different interpretations of what each of these levels mean. So a close-up of the burner showing the actual flame will be really helpful on these videos, especially for novice cooks. Thanks!

Whatever your settings are on your cooktop, you should have a start (lowest setting) and a end (highest setting). Chances are, the middle of those two points are medium heat. Between medium and low, is medium low heat. Between medium and high, is medium high heat.

It's actually called the Leidenfrost Effect.

Good job in picking this man to represent your cookware. He is great in front of the camera.

That golden temp is called Leidenfrost and it’s equal to 380 F for water (it’s different for other liquids) This is the temp for water to form a bead and will float over a layer of steam. The reason food doesn’t stick to the pan at this temp, is the same as the water doesn’t wet the pan. Food has water content and when it hits the surface, same as water bead, it’ll float over a layer of steam and prevent from sticking. Thanks a lot for the content! I love your video and your way of presentation! ❤❤

The reason that your food doesn't stick to your pan is not because of Leidenfrost effect, because the weight of your food will exceed that layer of steam, and your food is definitely not floating on steam. the reason I think your food doesn't stick is because the oil has exceeded smoking point and has formed a thin polymerised oil layer on your pan, which is a natural non stick layer, and you need enough oil to do that too, because the oil needs to fill the micro gaps on the surface of your pan. Therefore, your pan will still be non stick even after your pan cool down, which also prove it is not Leidenfrost effect because you don't need to keep your pan constantly at 380 F after you have heated your oil. Believe me, even if you heat up your oil from cold pan, if the oil reached smoking point for about 15 seconds, it will be non stick.

I'm late but am also a cook. This advice is objectively poor. If you want to shallow fry or saute, add oil to the pan cold and let it heat up to a shimmer. Your oil will not burn provided you arent using extra virgin olive oil (which is why we dont cook with but use it in sauces and for dressings). You are likely to hurt yourself if you add water to a very hot pan and then add oil, even if it looks like it has evaporated.

@shotarodeniet3301

2 жыл бұрын

@@alicebingham9796 this is just not true, water to hot oil is what causes the problems, reverse there is nothing to worry about. In fact your comment is completely redundant and really not helpful. Why adding oil later is key is that the pan is hotter than the oil. Once the oil is ready, and food is added, the pan holds heat to not drop the temperature of the oil/pan once you add food to the pan.

Loooong ago I got a book on Chinese cooking, written by an actual Chinese chef who was pretty funny and loved criticizing American cooking. He said there was a well known maxim in China that was “hot pan, cold oil.”

Thanks Mr. Barnett, your easy going attitude makes learning less stressful.

Its just knowing how to properly use stainless clad pans. I saw a couple of cooks once making eggs at a high end hotel once. The pans they were using were pretty banged up but those eggs would slide right off! Very impressive!

It doesn’t matter, if anything you want to make sure the oil is at the right temp period, you know how it WONT “explode” In the pan no matter what ya do? You put the oil in before pan gets super hot & bring it up to heat. This is how I already know this guys…..no pro lol also, one of the most common things to put in oil Initially when cooking? Garlic. And you never wanna put garlic in too early or in oil That’s too hot, winds up cooking to fast losing flavor & getting bitter instead of infusing the flavor into the oil.

Great video all around. I can't wait to see and hear more tips, techniques and tricks from Steve. Nice lemon juggling too.

I learned to take care and a little extra patients about when the heat is right. Thanks. I needed that. He actually showed cooking and piece of salmon which I love to do, but I never turn it over. I leave it on the skin side because it becomes like potato crisp which is how I like it. The heat rises to continue to reach the top of the salmon for just the right amount of cooking.

I had various sets of cookware in my almost 50 years of cooking. Mister decided I needed "real" pots and pans. I did my homework on what stainless cookware I wanted. I was dead set that all clad would win my heart. It didn't make it past reading about it. When I read about Made In, I was excited. I bought the small and larger saucepans and was impressed that the lids weren't "extra". I also ordered the md stew pot and the 10 qt stew pot with lids. Oh my!!! How much do I love this cookware? I love the performance of this cookware. I so love it that I ordered another small saucepan and a carbon wok sort of pan. I can't say enough good things about Made In products.

This is the best and most informative instructional I've come across on, as the title says, cooking properly with stainless steel pans (and I also highly recommend Steve's How To Properly Clean Stainless Steel Pans video). Thanks to this video I can now cook eggs in my 10" All-Clad stainless pan without ANY sticking at all. Thank you Steve!

I would just like to start off by saying that I am extremely happy that I purchased Made-In's stainless steel as my first ever stainless-steel cookware. These pans are just absolutely fantastic. I just started off college and because I was moving to a different country, i couldn't bring my trusty cast iron pan with me due to weight and size problems. I thought that I was doomed because I always did literally everything in my cast iron pan. But after some consideration, I decided to order a small 8-inch stainless steel pan from made in. After testing it with a steak, i was utterly amazed. The pan heated up extremely fast, way faster than my cast iron. It seared the steak absolutely beautifully, and the steak did not even stick at all. The handle was extremely comfortable, it stayed cool throughout the entire cooking process. At this exact moment, stainless steel became my new favorite material for cookware. I did not have to worry about using delicate utensils on the pan or treating it delicately, i did not have to worry about sticking, i did not have to worry about seasoning, i don't even have to think twice about touching the handle anymore unless it was put in the oven. I loved it so much that I ordered the 12-inch version. Let's just say that I was surprised at how big it was, but I didn't really care, because I love these pans and will order the 10 inch one too so i can complete the set. When i get more settled, i will definitely deck out my kitchen in made-in cookware. Beautiful design, superior comfort, great utility, and excellent craftsmanship. 5/5
