so that's the big big advantage of why you would spend money on atlantis and on proline is that it gives you that nice buffer things happen more slowly heat kind of moves through the pan up and down at a slower rate and you don't find all of a sudden you've gone from kind of browning to burning it just doesn't happen…

it is you know the capacity in terms of the searing is much much higher with a prolong okay and i would even say it's disproportional um when you consider the 30 percent temperature sorry when you consider the 30 percent weight difference okay it seems that this perline can handle much much more in you know relative…

in the last video i i said that um even with a 28 centimeter model pro line i was able to beautifully seal ten chicken drumsticks and that's a pretty heavy load you know 10 chicken drumsticks that's what is a kilogram or maybe even more medium sized chicken drumsticks

so in that sense the pro line for me is also an easier pen it's a more friendly pen to use because it gives you a larger margin for error and that was you know in my cooking test and that was very easy to see

this is 2.4 kilograms so the 28 centimeter model of the problem 7 is still heavier than the 32 centimeter version of the industry 5. okay and this is able to give you that really beautiful sear it's able to take a much higher load compared to this 32 centimeter industry 5.

Over the 7 years plus of talking about Nano Bond, I have yet to have anybody have it so where they couldn't get it clean and remove

So, for all of these reasons, we have Nanobond. No chemicals. Toxin-free.

Is Titanium Cookware a Scam? I Tested 5 Pans to Find Out

One thing I noticed is that the knife was much quieter on the Hestan pan compared to the others. The surface is so smooth and hard that the knife almost glides across it.

Since the surface is incredibly hard and highly polished, it's slicker and more scratch resistant than standard stainless steel.

The egg stuck badly to the Hestan, Heritage Steel, and Taima pans.

The pancakes stuck a little bit to the Hestan pan, but not much.

Hestan had a very tiny spot that stuck, but it was barely noticeable.

First, titanium is bonded to the surface, which makes it harder and more resistant to scratches. I tested it with the rough side of a sponge and a knife and although it’s not scratch-proof, it resists damage far better than standard stainless steel.

Titanium ions are vaporized in a vacuum chamber and bonded to the steel surface, creating a layer that's four times harder than typical stainless steel. You can see and feel the difference immediately.

This NanoBond 12.5-inch frying pan is currently listed on Hestan's website for $450. For comparison, Demeyere's most expensive pan, the 12.5-inch pan in the Atlantis collection, is $350, and All-Clad's most expensive pan, the 12-inch Copper Core frying pan, is $365, but it's often on sale for much less.

one thing I will say which is something that they do claim is that you can barely scratch this and I'll say I'm going like I'm not reefing on this guy with this fish bat but there is like no scratching on the surface whatsoever which I realize when it comes to actually cooking it has nothing to do with how it's going…
