That’s what this channel is all about now. If you run a small business, work in marketing, video production or content creation or just want to get smarter about strategy, branding, and content creation...hit subscribe. Every week, I share real-world insights, tools, and ideas you can put to use immediately. Let’s cut through the noise and build something that matters.

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
Cites heat retention, searing and crust
but a five ply will do that also
but this is great for like I love doing stir fries in this I love doing searing steaks in this is great
Cites heat retention, searing and crust
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
I'd go with the big cast iron because it's so useful for so many things on the fire
there is no nonstick in my house anymore we have stopped using non-stick for a little over a year now and we will never go back you really don't need that crutch or that gimmick
Cites durability (against), price (against)
get rid of the nonstick folks you don't need it it's a crutch it's a gimmick it's a waste of money and it goes right into the landfill
and we also have these incredible sponges from Heritage steel that are forever sponges they've replaced every sponge we have in our house they're freaking awesome I never thought I'd geek out about a sponge before but I absolutely love these sponges
I can honestly tell you that the first time my wife and I cooked on the Heritage steel pans there was a flavor component that we had been missing for the last 18 19 months while using hexclad the crust the my art effect the golden brown whatever you want to call it that we are getting out of these pans for our food is…
Cites ease of cleaning, flavour impact
and then if there are moments where you get some food stuck on your pan it h for us so far they have scraped off very easily just with a silicone spatula or with a wooden spoon
I would also have a saier like this I love using this for desserts like custards and things like that or pan sauces or Poached Eggs I love the curved Edge for the Poached Eggs you get that water swirling in that curved Edge helps keep the eggs moving in that circular motion really really well I love this pot for that
Cites shape and form
for that and I do a lot of a lot of Poached Eggs it's one of my favorite breakfast
so I really do love the made in brand I love Heritage steel
Two judgements rest on this sentence:
- recommendation about Made In Owns it
- recommendation about Heritage Steel Owns it
their handle starts off skinny towards the bottom and gets a little wider in the middle but then tapers off and I actually prefer that for my hand It just fits my hand really really well
Cites handle
but I do love my carbon steel Skillet cuz I eat like three to four eggs a day so I eat a lot of eggs and uh that's my favorite pan
which doesn't sound like a lot but when you're holding it in your hand and you've got carpal tunnel like I do this is a heavy heavy heavy pan
Cites weight (against)
so Lodge is a brand of cast iron it's very very affordable so as far as affordability goes in cast iron Lodge is probably one of the best for what you get for the price you pay

this pot I love this is the Heritage steel paa pan and if you do paa or long cooking big batches of things like shakshuka or something like that this is a great pan very specialty pan for something like that
Heritage Steel's titanium line is really exceptional cookware
so uh but I do like to use that for heavier jobs like steaks and pan sauces and stuff like that just because it does hold the heat extremely well
Cites heat retention
this this is um a weapon and also an extremely well-made pan this is from De this is their Atlanta Series this is a seven ply now this one is I think this is almost 6 and 12 lbs this one
Cites base and rim, build quality
demire makes exceptional cookware very heavyduty and wellmade this is their Atlantis series and this is an extremely heavy bottomed pot
what I really love to use this pan for is pancakes believe it or not if you do a lot of delicate stuff like pancakes or Crepes like that and you don't want them to stick but you still want to get nice color on them enameled cast iron is perfect for that
Cites non-stick surface
there's also enamel coated cast iron now this is from stab this is a beautiful beautiful pan heavy pan
Cites appearance
I use this every every single day for my eggs I use it for sunny side up eggs I use it for OV easy eggs I mean they just surf around on this pan they never stick so I use that every day
Cites non-stick surface
I also like to use this for toasting sandwiches things like that
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
Cites appearance, durability
Owned 9 years
but this pan has been a Workhorse I think this is a 14inch I've had this pan for 9 years I don't even know the brand of this one but I I think I bought this one in HomeGoods or something like that a long long time ago
but for me I don't want to have to replace my pots and pans every 18 to 20 months because the non-stick coating is wearing off on them so I won't be using these anymore I'm going to be switching to like a stainless steel all clad type of pot and pan and I'm not really sure what brand to buy yet
so after all of that I have decided that hexclad pans are not right for me and therefore I don't recommend them on my channel anymore
look the first time I made some eggs in this fry pan I flipped them over and they were perfectly golden brown crusted which is the way I like them some people don't like a little crispiness on their eggs but that's the way I like mine and I mean compared to the hexclad ones no there is no comparison they were way…
Cites flavour impact, heat control
and they have replaced our knives without question for free twice and in fact on that second warranty claim they upgraded us to a better knife so I would say that they would honor honor their warranty
Cites warranty
so after spending about 2 weeks researching and quite honestly going down a very steep Rabbit Hole the clear winner for us was Heritage steel
about a month ago I posted a video called called I can't recommend hexclad cookware anymore and in that video I mentioned how almost all of the claims made by hexclad were pretty much just marketing
spoiler yes hexclad will eventually fall apart on you whether you use it exactly how it's marketed or even if you baby it with a pair of white gloves

you can make it last as long as you can don't use metal utensils on it even though they say you can and that it's safe it's not don't stick them in the dishwasher don't cook with them at high temperatures and you'll pretty much be fine if you can get three to five years out of them I'd say you're probably winning the…
don't use metal utensils on it even though they say you can and that it's safe it's not
that nonstick PTFE coating Teflon coating that they put on there will eventually wear off and the tricky part here is you don't actually notice when it starts starts to become unviable you may eventually notice that it peeled off or flaked off or chipped off or scratched off yes but PTFE or Teflon can start to degrade…
de makes this I think it's the black five there's five pieces to this cookware and it has this black coating on the stainless steel this is five ply stainless steel but this black coating enables you to put it over an open fire on the grill without staining or damaging the stainless steel and it's really beautiful…

the titanium line is a little bit more expensive not much though so if you want a higher-end line of cookware without spending an absorbent amount of money the Heritage steel titanium line is really exceptional

and my trusted carbon steel egg pan no you can use it for more than eggs but that's particularly what I focus on and that would be my All-Star pick

I wouldn't use this to sear steaks because of the enamel coating

if you're like me and you do a lot of soups and homemade pasta sauces we do a homemade pasta sauce probably every month and a half or so so a big 8.9 quart like this made in pot is fantastic for that

I mean you could really honestly just get away with one 12in stainless steel pan I mean you could use this for small jobs you could use it for large jobs so if you really wanted to save money and just get one pan to do pretty much every job your 12-in stainless steel frying pan or Skillet is the way to go
Cites price, versatility
so now for my Allstar picks of what if I had to start over what would I buy I would go with a 12-in fry pan
Onex Cloud's website and in their marketing they have all always touted that their pans are dishwasher safe and metal utensil safe metal utensil safe because the stainless steel is risen just slightly above their non-stick surface but we all know that if you put something in the dishwasher it is going to reduce the…

and in fact the 8 in pan that I always use to cook my eggs in you can see here hopefully um it's missing this is where it's the non-stick coating really started to scrape off and right there my eggs stick there all the time and it's very hard to kind of avoid that section when you're cooking cooking eggs in an 8 in…

this Pan the 12in has definitely food sticks to this more than it does the 10-in and I probably use the 10-in more
I once thought that this was a really great purchase so I kind of feel let down even though they did Supply new ones with their warranty uh but I don't want to have to go through the hassle of having to get new pots and pans every 18 months for a a pot and pan that they claim should last well they say cooking lifetime…
the transparency in their messaging in their marketing and on their website was so clear no marketing terms no crazy claims of what it can and can't do it's just this is good ass cookware okay and we think you'll like it like I like that messaging that's direct to the point and I appreciate that

and also in the care section you'll find that there are ways to make your stainless steel cookware very nonstick into efficient it's just absolutely amazing
I'd also go cast iron Dutch oven

and I would absolutely I might even go bigger than the 8.9 I'd probably go 12 qu pot because I've been using this and uh really coming close to overflowing it several times

I would also have a two qu pot I would also have a six quart pot
so this is a smoking pot this is also from De now you can smoke on your stove top this is a really interesting pot I've only used this twice so so far though
if you wanted to get that smoked flavor a smoking pot like this from deire is a lot of fun or you could use that to steam as well for um clams and things like that clams and muscles
I kind of prefer herir to Steel's handle just because it fits my hand a little better
Cites handle
that's to me most households could get away with just those three to four pots and pants I really do believe that there's probably not much else that most households these days need in order to accomplish their the majority of their cooking requirements
still what do we really really need a 12-in skillet two to three pots I mean that's really all we really need
I did and it lasted about 20 months 18 to 20 months until my cookwar started to Chip and all of the non-stick coating started to come off of it so now that's not very long considering the price tag for the price that they charge for their cookware it should last a little bit more than 18 to 20 months using it how they…

I've had issues of other things sticking to the Pan um so they're not super non-stick like some of those other pots and pans that are out on the market to me I think that's because of that stainless steel those peaks of stainless steel so stainless steel obviously isn't nonstick and that plays a plays a role in the…
obviously it does affect the performance because everything sticks to that section
it feels like sort of a scam that non-stick cookware manufacturers know they're selling a product with planned obsolescence and customers should have to Reby their pots and pans every couple of years Bingo buddy yeah 100% okay

so if you like a little wider handle on the edge go for the ma in but if you like a little bit more of a straight handle then you would go for the eater series
