Why don't you guys do full videos on here? These short videos are a huge turn-off and I'm going to start avoiding even clicking on them from here on out. I do appreciate what you guys do though, huge fan. Just not a fan of the youtube content being so weirdly cut-off/shortened.
every frying pan is great the moment you buy it. come back 1 year later after you've used it to cook breakfast and dinner every day for that whole year THEN tell me if its good or not. I'm not looking to buy one that i treat like a paper plate using it just 1 time than tossing it out cause it was only good for that 1 time. that's what all these review videos are missing, the test of time. I have bought too many 5 star rated cookware that was great for about a month then they stuck like crazy and started to fall apart or the coating would come off in my food even when I took very good care of it never using metal utensils and always cleaning and drying it after use.
according to all the reviewers on amazon for the winning frying pan in this video. after 6 months it began to lose its coating and scratched very easily even when cleaned.
I used to buy T-Fal, but the last two 12" skillets I've bought caused everything to burn on or stick. Even the Pro line were awful
A 12 inch non stick skillet, and your testers were concerned with weight?? Laughable. They definitely wouldn’t like cooking with the rest of our kitchen that is cast iron.
Well, that was a waste of time. I expected a review of all the pans. The OXO is the best? Where is the test? I didn't see or hear anything as to why these are the best! If you are going to state that, prove it!
Would you consider testing the new OXO 8-in ceramic pan?
Cost on Amazon when video was posted in 6/2022: $42.50
Cost on Amazon in 10/2022: $55
VERY DISAPPOINTED BY THIS REVIEW. No testing of how they put up with abuse and remain nonstick, no alternative materials tested, no induction mentioned. Plain stupid.
Hi!
Less than 2 months ago, it was $42.50 on Amazon. In Aug. 2022 it's now $54.98. Still not a bad price but over $12 increase in less than 2 months?
All of these pans were way too shallow. Plus it appeared their handles were all, but one, non heat proof. I also wonder if any of them came with lids. None of them had a helper handle either which is deal breaker for me.
42 dollars and fifty cents you say? Even apparently at "16 percent off" it's 60 dollars right now.
Thank you for chapters
Can you add the playlist in description please
Need second and third place plus induction favorite!
My Oxo didn't last very long. I bought a Sardel to replace it. More expensive but way worth the money.
That might as well have just been a commercial. 🤪
Thanks for all the thoughts and deep insight … on that one pan.
Its actually 59 dollars when using your link and it's not even listed on OXO's own website anymore?
⚠PFOA, PFOS, GenX are just 3 of thousand types of PFAS. PFAS is NOT safe. No matter how they say it is PFOA free, it is not PFAS free. Manufacturers just switch a different PFAS to use when the toxicology result of 1 particular PFAS concludes it not safe, which take MANY MANY years, and switch to a different PFAS takes no time. It is not safe at low temperature either. Why do you think non stick pan works the best only for a period of time? When it stops being non stick, guess where the chipped off Teflon went.
Just like BPA free plastic, BPA, BPS, BPF, BPAF, BPZ, BPP, BHPF are some of the many bisphenol… You can call it BPA free, does not make it bisphenol free, and it is still not something you want to ingest.
America's Test Kitchen really need to do the basic research and stop recommending things that contain PFAS.
I just replaced my All-Clad 10” stainless non-stick with a 10” Made In 5-ply ($110 on Amazon) and am very impressed with its quality and performance on a GE CAFE induction range.
Where can I find this pan for $42.50?
Granite stone diamond is my bag
I didn’t even hit play on video and thought yep oxo. Sure enough 😂. I got some all clad at tj max cheap. I also have oxo. Both good pans.
Not eating off of .teflon,copper,granite, or a hubcap.
No such thing as a nonstick pan…☮
