There is a reason that you see stainless steel cookware in the kitchen of every restaurant (Well... every restaurant that isn’t sponsored by a celebrity chef with their own cookware brand).
Buying a cookware set is a BIG decision. Ideally you're buying the set that you’ll cook on everyday for decades. Your relationship with your pots and pans may outlive other friendships that you have.
But worst case scenario, you buy a trendy pan that you think can solve ALL your problems as you start off on your cooking journey. When the pan fails to do what it promises (conveniently just after the warranty expires), you assume that it's because you're a horrible cook, and you just order take out for the rest of your life.
Hopefully, after watching this video, you understand why the performance of stainless steel is better than other surfaces, and understand what features change the user experience for daily use.
I’ll probably make a longer video going into detail about all the common mistakes people make when using stainless steel pans, because I really think that it’s worth going through the growing pains and learning how to use a pan that will last you a lifetime.
It’s literally worth it for all the money you’ll save, but it’s also worth it because your food will be better, and you’ll love cooking more.
Thanks again to Hestan for sponsoring this video, providing extra pans to test, and supporting the creative vision I had to help others switch over to stainless steel cookware. I couldn’t have done it without them. The cookware you saw from them was from 5 different collections. They are ALL fully clad, with Hestan's signature flush rivets and grooved handles, and everything except the CopperBond is 100% dishwasher safe. No fine print. https://hestan-culinary.pxf.io/cookware
The NanoBond: The titanium-coated top of the line cookware (Best Overall)
The CopperBond: Fully clad stainless with a copper core (Best Conductivity)
The ProBond: Fully Clad stainless steel with aluminum cores (Most Affordable)
The Thomas Keller Insignia: The set with heat vents and flushly built handles (Best Design)
The TITUM Nonstsick: The diamond-plasma-titanium lifelong-warranty-truly-nonstick pans (Best Nonstick)
If you’re trying to make the move over to stainless and looking for pans that will last, Hestan is the only company I’ve found that doesn't have tons of qualifying fine print in their warranties about dishwashers and wear and tear. So as you search, check out Hestan, and you won’t be disappointed. https://hestan-culinary.pxf.io/cookware
Also, thanks to @beergr for letting me use some of his footage of his hybrid pans. He has a great video on his channel going into his experiences cooking on them.
