Saladmaster belongs on this list. It's as good as Allclad or any other stainless steel cookware. My mother received a set as a wedding gift in 1954. In 2012 the handle broke on one of the pans and the company sent her a free replacement under the lifetime warranty. When she passed in 2017 three of my sisters wanted that cookware so they cut cards to decide who would get it. It is still used daily even though it's 69 years old.

@rickdanner8682 8 ай бұрын

I worked for Regal Ware the parent company of saladmaster for 4 years out of college. I have a 23 piece set of 5 ply stainless steel called Seal-o-matic. When they talk about vapor cooking several of Regal Ware's specialty cookware in their direct sales division had what they called temp-tone knobs. These knobs whistled when the temp rose and then you closed them off an reduced the heat down to low. Everything cooked with less energy due to the great heat distribution. Ah the memories. :)

I was just about to say "What about Saladmaster?". I'm in almost exactly the same situation, my mom also has a set of stainless steel pots from Saladmaster that she purchased around 1979 and still cooks with them to this day. 44 years later still going strong, my mom and her cookware ;D I remember hearing the clanging of those vapor vents whenever water got to boiling with the lid on. We knew something good was cooking whenever we would hear that noise. All these years later and the pot is about as good as new ... minus some wear and tear on the handle of both the pot and the lid. Neither are destroyed, far from it, just some staining from years and years of washing and use. The pot and lid are still pretty much exactly like new. My mom isn't savvy about how to either wash, clean, or store pots and pans, it's just never really crossed her mind that she should treat stainless steel any different than any other pot or pan, and even then, the cookware remains as resilient as ever. A true testament to the longevity of that cookware!

@@rickdanner8682 Regal Ware made some excellent tri-ply cookware sold under the Duncan Hines and Twin Star brands. They weren't quite as nice as Saladmaster but they are still better than any inexpensive cookware sold today in any big box store. If you find any at yard sales or thrift stores they are worth buying. It will be an upgrade for most people compared to what they already have.

There is an old advertising slogan which says, "the customer is always right" which I think is total BS. I prefer to say "An educated and informed customer makes a better decision". Great video. The only other disclosure about 360 which should be noted is they also own and operate Lusterware a cookware company which Bryan's dad got involved with at the beginning. My own mother still has some Lusterware cookware pieces which are as good as they day they were new.

At a lot of the Home & Garden Expo's, you can find Kitchen Craft. It's only sold at these shows and I believe it's made by the same family in West Bend. I've had my set for over 20 years. The product is excellent. I find Lodge way too heavy for me as I have carpal tunnel. Finex, made in Oregon is beautiful, expensive and heavy too, as is Smithey, in South Carolina. Smithey also makes carbon steel with a permanent non stick finish. I hope to try theirs soon. Lastly, Lancaster, in Pennsylvania. Their cast iron is lightweight and non stick! So you can have cast iron without the weight. Great video. Thanks!

@violetviolet888 Жыл бұрын

It's because All-clad is a professional brand they were designed with professional chefs in mind. The handles can make more sense if you're holding them with a towel which is standard for chefs so they don't burn their hands on hot handles. From cheesepage: "Ambidextrous pro chef here. The handle works well for me with either hand. I like it because it works well with the tennis racket grip. (Think of the flat, (top and bottom) of the pan as the face of the racket and your hand doing the handshake grip.) This means that when you saute and flip food you have the use of the same muscle in your forearm that you would use pulling a rope. It works well in this context. If you don't do this that's okay but that seems to be the way the grip is designed. The handle also provides a good grip for rotating the pan from left to right and right to left. The rolled up sides of the handle allow you a sturdy thumb placement and a solid finger wrap around. IF you don't hold your pan this way, or use these techniques I understand why this pan might not be your first choice. The handle sort of forces you into this hold, and it does not work for everyone. I would agree with the critique that the pour is less than perfect. But I'm willing to compromise for the great heat distribution and weight balance."

@kellyname5733 4 ай бұрын

@@violetviolet888 Ok, designed for professionals with a towel in their hand. Problem is they are largely marketing to the home cook. Solve the problem by separating professional series and home cook. People have been complaining about All Clad handles forever. You could not pay me to have All Clad specifically because of the handles. I was in my 20's (looong time ago) and I remember the first time I handled an All Clad. I wasn't too interested in cooking at that time as I am now, but I tried to like the feel. Nope. It was out of balance, uncomfortable, I had no control of the pan. 45 years later I still feel the same. Too many other brands with the same quality or better out there.

I wish I had seen these videos before I ordered my new Heritage Steel 3qt saucepot. I needed a quality piece of cookware that was big enough to boil large hotdogs in, and my 2qt pot wasn't cutting it. I wanted quality and craftsmanship, so I opted to go American. It just got here today, and I am NOT disappointed! It's VERY high quality and very well made! I paid $159 for it, but it was worth it. I do, however, wish that I had seen your two videos before I made the choice of what brand to go with. I think I would have liked some other brands on here just as much that weren't as expensive. I do also question Heritage Steel when they say "Made In USA of Domestic and Global Materials"......where do they source the "global materials" from, and where exactly are they used? I imagine it's probably the bolts that secure the handle to the pot that are made in Asia, but I'm hoping that the "global materials" come from France or Germany. The lid that came with the pot is also high-quality and also made in the same factory, which is very nice. Oftentimes you'll see companies cutting corners by sourcing the lids from China or Taiwan.....not in this case! All in all, I'm very happy with the purchase! I'm glad Heritage Steel is getting recognition.

The USA is a net titanium importer and the tenth-ish largest producer of titanium in the world (dwarfed by the top 3). I almost guarantee you they import the titanium they dope the steel with. I don't think any of the other brands use titanium at all--I have made in, I know they don't.

I get what you are saying about the weight of Lodge Cast Iron and that is why I bought Le Creuset. It is soooo much lighter. I also bought some Brandani brand, made in Italy, thin cast iron skillets with the non toxic, non stick coating. I bought 2 thin cast iron WOK's, plus some smaller enameled cast iron skillet type pieces, and smaller sauce pans. All bought at a fraction of the cost at Home Goods. Bought 4 Staub baking dishes at Marshall's on sale. All of these are much lighter than Lodge cast iron by far. Im older too and am wondering how long I'll be able to use all this cast iron cookware? For now Im loving all that I have and use them often. Keep an eye out at Home Goods and Marshals for Le Creuset and Brandani. You might find some thin cast iron cookware.

being a avid foodie, and cook, i have so many ideas, which i shall of course going to try and create knowing how much various degrees of temperature on stove top matters for so many dishes, delicate like sauce hollaindasie and sitz bath sauces types and other foods on slow flame temp.... now cones the pots and pans all of it is going to have a change.. especially non stick new forms...especially when full milk delicacies sweets i make invaribaly it sticks in bottom so that layered bottom stainless steel or other has to have quality that it doesnt stick, steel doesnt retain food smells even the most spicy ones when washed properly while other metals do and ofcourse all of other saftey cooking gear from aprons to gloves for professional cooks...new and clean good...

As a metallurgist myself (who at one point in my career worked at a consumer stainless steel tableware manufacturer in the USA), I was puzzled by the mention that Heritage Steel uses “titanium strengthened stainless steel”. I had to look it up. They use a grade designated 316Ti. While the claims on their website are technically correct, the difference in corrosion performance will not be noticeable to the ordinary cook. 316Ti is be more resistant to pitting corrosion in certain circumstances, almost none of which a fry pan will (or should) ever experience. I’m sure it makes a fine pan, but it shouldn’t perform any different than a competing pan made with 304 (18-8) or 308 (18-10) stainless steel. I admit it sounds cool, but it will make no difference otherwise. This seems to be little more than marketing hype.

Really interested in recommendations for induction cooktops. This is an up and coming market. I really love my induction, and I'm ready to invest in good pans.

Great review. But, I was expecting in the end which company had the best cookware to purchase regardless of price.

They’re all great in their own ways. My top picks are All-Clad and Made In.

I have a set of stainless skillets from Emeril that my sister had. Don't know who made them for his line but they still work great. Has an aluminum then copper layer on the bottom.

They came about via collaboration between All-Clad and famous chef, Emeril Lagasse. All-Clad agreed to allow them to be made in China, but they had to conform to the same high quality standard as All-Clad, which they do! So there is Emeril Pro-Clad made in China, but of excellent quality, and there is All-Clad, mostly made in the USA. I have pieces from both, but like others have commented, the stick handles on All-Clad are not desirable. I like my Emeril better. Emeril is supposedly no longer made. So if you come across one somewhere, grab it.
