Because of that and the lightweight design, it's by far the easiest Dutch oven to pick up, wash, and store.

The lid has ridges that prevent a spoon from slipping off

the knob has a wide top and a thick stem, which makes it easy to grip and control

In my test, both knobs stayed cooler than most other brands, but the plastic knob barely heated up at all.

Now, that does not in any way make this pan a pain in the ass to clean. A bit of scrubbing, soap and water, maybe some Bar Keepers Friend, some baking soda make short work of any of the like build-up that comes at the bottom of this pan.

So, I guess it's still easier than a stainless steel pan that's got some food stuck onto it, but it's by no means as easy to clean as a nonstick pan.

Because of its nonstick enough qualities, it's really great for searing meat and the crust that you can get on this thing is absolutely beautiful.

And not only that, because there is no actual like nonstick coating that I have to worry about, I can take a blowtorch to this and sear the top of whatever I want. If I wanted to use open flame on this thing, I will do it with all confidence.

And because it is still just that much easier to clean, it has taken a lot of work from this guy as well.

It just fulfills that one sweet spot of being nonstick enough, easy enough to clean, dishwasher friendly, and extremely durable. There is a lot of convenience in that combination.

and the thing that's great with the matte fur is that the handle can go into whatever temperature into the oven we want

it now is kind of kind of turned like a golden orange color because it's oxidizing a little bit so it's very obvious that that pan is being exposed the raw metal is being exposed to the air

and now the new matte fur come without anything on them they're really nice and easy to clean

but this guy is definitely you know non-stick on there there's no doubt about that right

so looking at these two pans we've got that this was the first time that I ever cooked on them you know that you know nothing's really stuck on here

this guy here behaved a lot better in being at a preheat of 250 previously like I was saying I was at 250 preheat it looked like I got too hot I went down it got too cool and it wasn't a great result this guy's looking quite perfect at the moment sitting at 250

so that's a really nice result right there doing its thing induction burner gets a little bit mad when you do that this guy here same thing so great result okay so definitely that factor of that first cook with a new pan you know seedling that surface definitely helps so our second result here is really great

right now there is zero spinning from this is the one that was abused this is the one that was not and they are not spinning whatsoever

okay so clean and cool cool zero spinning so that is great that cheap what I think is kind of crappy induction cooktop I have been able to make spinners out of other carbon steel with that cooktop um it does make spinners these guys didn't that's a tremendous result so super stoked

so you know Matt fur I would give you know a big big thumbs up I think they're tremendous I love that they have non-vivided handles onto the pans the shape of them of course are ideal I really enjoy that they the handles don't have epoxy on them and they can easily just go straight into the oven they're great

I let the eggs cook for about a minute before touching them, and when I finally nudged them with a spatula, they moved freely with zero sticking. I also flipped the eggs with no issues.

I tested it again by making an omelet, and again, the egg cooked perfectly and didn't stick at all.

And even though some of the eggs stuck, cleaning the pan was easy - the stuck-on bits came right off with a quick rinse.

This pan is not only good with eggs, but it does a good job searing, too. I cooked burgers, steak, salmon, and chicken in this pan, and it browns well and cooks evenly.

A bonus of the textured surface is that it keeps oil in the center of the pan. You can still coat the entire surface by tilting the pan, but the oil doesn't immediately run to the edges and leave the center dry like it does with some non-stick pans.

Based on these tests, this pan has average heat conduction but above-average heat retention.

Performance-wise, I’m impressed.

But it's way less fussy than stainless steel, and, at least in my experience, it releases food better than a well-seasoned cast iron or carbon steel pan.

As the water heated up, tiny bubbles were uniform across the entire cooking surface, which indicates even heat distribution.

The only noticeable difference between the two pans is that the HexClad pan barely had any residue or discoloration from the oils. It took less than 30 seconds to clean.

Because HexClad’s cooking surface has non-stick coating beneath the steel hexagons, it releases food better than a traditional stainless steel pan.

This time, the eggs slid around both pans without any sticking.

You you don't need to try and sort of scrub that out. And as you use the pans with time, that will sort of even out across the…

And that's it. You don't need to dry it. You can let them air dry just like nonstick.

Titanium Pro and cast iron you can use metal utensils in. The Teflon you can't.

Both collections have Y-shaped handles that stay cool while you're cooking on the stove, but the actual shape and the finish is different.

Industry handles are straighter with squared edges and the surface is bead blasted for a matte non-slip finish.

If you want to spend less or prefer lighter cookware that's a little easier to maneuver, go with Industry.

The handles on the Atlantis collection are angled higher which keeps your hand further away from the heat and also makes it a little easier to tip and rotate the pan.

something that sets Stargazer apart is uh the cool touch handle

handling about Stargazer cast iron skillet Tested it Stargazer Cast Iron Skillet

Cites handle, heat resistance, shape and form, weight

it's lighter weight for the size significantly lighter weight you can feel how they've taken down the material here on the side and the bottom actually feels thicker than the sides so there's some engineering going on there

and then it's got this nice handle on the end here I assume this would probably get pretty hot uh but my experience with these is uh anything that's forked stays cool to the touch and you don't really need a uh hot pad to hold on to it

the thumb area here I mean it's a great handle feels really comfortable

and this is different from most of the the pans I have most of the pans I have have much longer handles so this will be a a welcome change

another thing I wanted to mention is uh they PRI themselves on this lip so some of the lodge pans of a similar size you'll they have a pour spout this doesn't you know you could pour from pretty much anywhere

I have to tell you this handle is toasty warm but not something you can't touch

Another thing that makes this Skillet unique is its long handles which are significantly longer than most cast iron skillets. The handle on the 12-inch Stargazer Skillet is 7.6 inches long. For comparison, the handle on this 12 inch Calphalon Skillet is 4.75 inches.

The extra length makes it easier to maneuver the skillet while keeping your hand away from the heat.

I've also noticed that the Stargazer handle stays cooler thanks to the y-shaped design that disperses heat.

The helper handle opposite the main handle is also much larger and easier to grip than the ones on most cast iron skillets.

Another feature I really like about Stargazer is that it has a flared rim all the way around for easy pouring from any angle. Most cast iron skillets have a pour spout on each side which is a bit more limiting.

It has a cup-shaped design that ensures your hand won't slip or rotate when you tilt the skillet

Thanks to its relatively thin construction, the carbon steel pan wasn't far behind.

The stainless steel pan cooked the pancake fast and evenly, carbon steel heated quickly but one side of the pancake cooked more than the other, and the cast iron pan heated so slowly that the pancake wasn’t close to done when the timer went off.

In fact, the Made In carbon steel pan is safe up to 1200°F.

Carbon steel is the thinner, lighter version of cast iron. It's made from about 99% iron and 1% carbon. And like cast iron, it's durable, it can handle extremely high temperatures, and it's naturally non-stick when well seasoned. It's widely considered one of the safest cookware materials.
