performance Tested it Stargazer Cast Iron Skillet

Cites coating, non-stick surface, seasoning durability, surface finish, warp resistance

and they've machined the entire inside so the outside has the traditional texture in fact it's way smoother right out of the right out of the box than you would get on like say a lodge or some other mass produced Skillet

but what they've done is put this Pan on a lathe the entire pan and spun it uh to completely machine the inside so it's very smooth but it's not so smooth that that you would think that it's not going to hold seasoning

and as I'm heating it up to uh take care of that extra seasoning uh the pan doesn't Flex at all stays perfectly flat

oh yeah I can tell already you know you just can't get a fried egg to do this in a Teflon pan I mean look at that this look at that it's like almost almost non-stick I mean it's fantastic

You can use these outdoors. They're excellent over a fire, uh on the grill, um or on your range at home. That's really one of the real benefits of cast iron is it's very versatile.

if you do a lot of steaks and you love a really thick Dark Crust on your steaks with a medium Center like I do there's really nothing better than cast iron

performance Owns it If I Started Over, I'd Only Buy These Pots & Pans

but a five ply will do that also

cast iron if I'm going to seirus steak I'm probably going to do it in a cast iron pan

this cast iron I particularly love to use for frittatas it's the perfect depth it holds the heat really well and it Cooks the frittatas perfectly like a nice thick frittata so I do love that small 8 in

I love to use cast iron on open fire on the grill on the smoker there's really nothing better for open fire than cast iron and Searing a steak

but like I mentioned in the beginning of this video a very well-made 5 to S ply stainless steel pan will SE a steak very well also

I'd go with the big cast iron because it's so useful for so many things on the fire

there's three ply there's five ply there's seven ply Alloys that are stainless steel with titanium to make them stronger and last longer and look better for a longer time period

cast iron awesome example of how you get this wonderful buffer of kind of hot to cold in there you can cook things at a kind of different results because of this really nice buffer of low heat low-ish heat will give you that non-stick and high-ish heat will give you that non-stick and you can kind of regulate the heat…

where it might be in your best interest to spend the 80 bucks and pick up a cast iron skillet from somewhere like amazon with a lid and be done with it full disclosure anything that i have linked down below at no cost to you i get a little tiny commission off of it but hey it helps to support this channel and it may…

recommendation Watch This Review Before You Buy All-Clad

5:01 supports George Giannaris

realistically i can pick up a cast iron skillet with a lid to keep from splattering and take that cast iron skillet and finish it off in the oven and it'll be really easy to clean you just wipe it down

Two judgements rest on this sentence:

performance cites ease of cleaning
use-case fit cites oven safe

0:30 objects Isaac Morton speaking on House Beautiful Collectors

The cast iron market wasn't really delivering what it had a hundred years ago, and there wasn't a good reason for that. And most modern cast iron is rough and has this sandy surface, it's difficult to clean and it's not quite as enjoyable to cook on.

Three judgements rest on this sentence:

appearance cites surface finish (against)
handling cites ease of cleaning (against)

How do skillets score among Gear Review YouTube?

Computed only from claims about skillets by people we have grounds to call Gear Review YouTube, so the axes answer “according to Gear Review YouTube” rather than “according to everyone”.

Domain authority

1 recommender, weighted by demonstrated expertise in skillets. Weighted by expertise in this category, never by audience size.

Independent consensus

1 independent voice across 1 source. How many independent voices converge, unweighted.

Long-term ownership

no dated ownership reports yet. Volume and length of dated first-hand ownership reports.

Performance

Community breadth

all evidence from a single community so far. How many distinct communities converge, rather than one echo chamber.

Recency of evidence

most recent evidence from 2016. How recent the evidence is. Old evidence is not wrong, just older.

Objections raised

2 negative claims, mostly performance and ergonomics. How much complaint is on the record. A high figure means the drawbacks have been stated and quoted, not that the thing is worse.

These are separate measurements, not components of a score. They are never added together, and there is no overall rating, because which of them matters depends on what you are buying the thing for. An axis that says no evidence means nobody has spoken about it, not that the answer is low.
