I feel there was a missed opportunity to use the phrase “Let’s see how this “pans out”...

Updates after regular use for a year are truly helpful! Great job. Hope you never stop your reviews. You are my go-to before I buy stuff.

I've had a granite rock pan for over a year now. I remember watching your review a year ago and can't remember if I bought it before or after the review, but it was around the same time. I also had the blue diamond before it, which the blue diamond I thought was really good when I got it but didn't last long as one time stuff got stuck to it and it never recovered. The granite rock is the best pan I've ever used, I've absolutely abused mine, seasoned it and used metal utensils on it, cut things on it, put it in the oven, actually burned my hand twice on the handle after taking it out of the oven and forgetting it was still hot, probably used it at least 200+ times. It's a little discolored around the edges because I'm messy, maybe a little rust or burnt residue on the outer metal rim, but the surface I cook on looks brand new, still functions like it's brand new too. FYI I'm the kind of guy to cook eggs, just wipe with a paper towel, then cook a steak on it later, then some other stuff and I might leave it dirty in my sink for a few days or until I decide I need to cook again. I recommend this pan to everyone. I prefer using this skillet over grilling outside, much more convenient and I've cooked many steaks on it. It's basically a cast iron skillet that you don't have to worry about it rusting or throwing in the dishwasher or oiling. It's so convenient and I can't go back to any other skillet. I have a big circular one, and I plan on buying the bigger square one eventually, I might keep that one nicer.

I love these followup videos. It's great to see how these products hold up over time rather than just initially. Makes me want a granite rock pan myself!

This 1 year review video really clinched it, I will definitely be buying one of these Granite Rock pans. You can't expect more from a pan that costs $20ish dollars. Love the 1 year later reviews. Great job, thanks.

Solid video. Ive been needing a good cooking pan, and it looks like this is the way to go. Thanks James!

Cutting in the pan, should be a Class A Misdemeanor.

So when I watched the vid last year, I was super interested in a durable, and effective non-stick pan. The way you ran the tests comparative to how they did it gave a great example of how effective it was with little to manipulation. I was considering on getting one of these, but never did. Watched this now, and definitely with the aging test and retesting, it still holds up extremely well. You may not be sponsored, but I'm extremely likely to buy a full set or two of these (if there was a set). Their quality and durability, plus your care tips and in depth demonstrations show the full effectiveness of this pan. Well done. Edit: I am more than happy to support you by using your affiliate Amazon link to buy the pans. Normally if I don't have a desire to support a person's affiliate link (be it because they just gave a quick article and slapped a link in there, or made a 1 paragraph forum post with a link), I'll copy the location and come back to it from the outside and get an item. For you though, I'll see to it that I use yours.

“We’re going in there raw, and see how it goes!” James White -2019

FREAKIN' REVIEWS!!!!! i dont understand why i enjoy watching these reviews of random products i'd never buy, but man i love your vids

Holy crap... I just realized that the first review of the rock pan was what brought me to you. I have been subbed to you for a year. Damn... Congrats on another year, dude!

Just bought a 10” GraniteRock fry pan. I like the look and feel of the pan but haven’t had a chance yet to really test it. So I’m glad to see your test results - gives me more confidence I made a good purchase.

Your first review of this was so good I bought the granite rock set. They are great pans and I love them. Thanks for reviewing them.

Have two granite rock pans and actually love these pans . Cook everything from scrambled eggs Blackened salmon , pork chops,steaks, chicken chunks for fajitas. and more . So good I bought some for my daughter too and she loves them

I love how honest and real you are. I enjoy watching your genuine reactions. Thank you, James.

The slight differences could be do to something as simple as humidity and or wear on the pan for use.

I got one half a year ago after watching your 2018 video and it has been the best frying pan I've ever used. The surface is still nonstick and hasn't chipped or cracked like teflon pans which I would have thrown out by now.

Even though i can't afford it because of different country but it's always nice to see items and review from you, keep it up, James !!

I was searching for a good nonstick pan back in March and I stumbled across your video and it convinced me to try the Granite Rock skillet. I have used it almost every day for all that time and it is still going strong. The ONLY difference I noticed from then to now is that when I first bought it, not even water would stick to the pan when I washed it; didn't even have to dry it after washing. Now, after rinsing, there are a few beads of water left. However, food never sticks to it and it still works fantastic for cooking. I also bought some Tfal nonstick pans at the same time and they all work great too- but I don't use them nearly as much as I do the Granite Rock pan. I think it is important to note that I never knew it was bad to use cooking spray on nonstick pans and I may have ruined all the ones I had in the past because of it. Just in case anyone else is ignorant to that fact....Don't ever use cooking spray on non-stick pans! It eats the non-stick coating.

I purchased this pan about 6 months ago because of your review and it’s my favorite pan to use. Thank you for all the reviews you post. Helps me not to waste money when making purchases of As Seen On TV items 😉

Just bought one last week. We needed a new pan and checked your reviews and watched last years and saw how well it worked. Really cool that you did this right after we got ours and we love it.

I bought mine earlier this year after seeing your review and i love my pan

If anybody's interested I bought a Starfrit "The Rock" frying pan a while ago and it passed all the tests this guy has shown plus a few. Honestly, it was the best pan I had ever used until the three-month mark at which it started to degrade and become "semi-stick" instead of "no-stick". Now you can fry an egg but it doesn't slide around in the butter anymore and when you fry a lot of things all sorts of stuff gets stuck to the bottom. I am now getting ready to throw the thing out even though it sort of works a bit. So forget about the Starfrit "The Rock". Oh, and I was extra careful about not damaging the bottom...

I love your channel. I believe that you give a truly unbiased opinion of the products that you review. I disbelieve all the infomercials of any product, but I trust you and really enjoy the time and effort you put into your videos. Great channel.

I purchased one of these after your reviews. I really like the pan and use it almost everyday. It does what it says with no issues. I do have one note, if you make a lot of an item such as scrambled eggs for the whole family, the residue around the metal bolts inside the pan are harder to clean. Other than that, great pan.

I've been looking for a new egg pan since last year when you reviewed this, guess I have to buy it now. Played the long game, thanks for the follow up.

Thanks for the follow up review. All these pans are decent right out of the gate but the important thing is how they hold up after regular use.

Love your follow up reviews. It really gives a clear picture of how the pan does... I wouldn't melt /burn cheese in a pan anyway.. I can't wait to get my pan first sure! Thanks for all you do!

I'd say do to a year's use with so little sticking I'd buy it in a heartbeat -- maybe on my next trip out!

Love mine. I have one that's been absolutely abused. And can still cool eggs with no oil or butter. I'm talking metal spatula, high heats, hot and put in water, dropped.

I’ve had a granite rock pan and a granite stone pan for more than a year. Use them a lot and am happy with both. Have one blue diamond, also good and one small red copper my husband likes for eggs, he always wants to cook at higher temps than needed. All have held up well

I have been using the Rock (3 different styles) for years, and always use a little (sometimes a lot) of oil. I wipe them out instead of washing, just like granny treated her cast iron, and they are actually better 'cause they are aluminum which has better heat transfer. The aluminum handle never gets hot, unless used in the oven, but hey, you can, and they work great. The only problem I ever had was forgetting to turn the burner off (medium) under the pan, which filled the house with smoke & scorched the finish. My only recourse was to go buy another one. My big one came with a vented glass lid, and I can cook everything with that, including stews, stir fry, chili, you name it. It also has a small "bale" handle on the outer end for heavy loads & it doesn't get hot either. I have used many different types of cookware in the past, but not any more. Thanks for the opportunity to plug this product, it has made my life a whole lot easier.

change this guys shirt and hes a real life runecape bot

I always put a little butter in the pan, even if its non-stick.

Thanks for this! Bought this pan a few months ago based on your results and am loving it. Keep up the good work!

I just watched a 10 minute video about a pan for no reason. Thank you KZfaq!

Can you please do a 2 year review?! I have now on this for two days but I would love to see 2 year performance. Thanks!!!

James, After seeing your review of the GranitStone pro today, I decided to purchase two sets. After making my order I had to Email them with a correction on my Email address. I explained in my Email that I saw your review, and you gave it high ratings. Within 5 minutes Zach Toste answered my Email. He said that they were kind of nervous about what you were going to say, because you are always so tough. A shout out to Zach for being so prompt with his reply and quick attention to correcting my email mistake. A shout out to GranitStone for making such a high quality product, and a shout out to you for being "so tough" of a critic. Because without you being so tough, MANY people would have wasted a lot of money on unacceptable products.

Thanks most of these pans always fail after 30-60 days regular use. Good to see your results.

I'm seriously thinking about getting one of those pans just to cook eggs in. My stainless steel ones are wonderful getting anything but eggs out of. Thanks for the review!

Love how he had the exact same look of yuck on his face when trying the choco-caramel-cheez... 🤢🤮😬

I'm a household of 5 people ranging from 29yrs to 60yrs, we all cook and we all use the fry pans, I own about 6 different rock fry pans {Medium to large}. I loved them at first and it's been about 5yrs since I've had them and they are just starting to stick in the middle, the crisp, clearness of the pan is now a light brown instead of a vibrant black. Takes a little more to clean than it did in the beginning. I never use any steel utensils on it and I never use an abrasive to clean. I received a letter back from the company and a new pan, inside the letter they were honest in telling me that the none stick isn't for life and the length it will remain depends on usage, heat and what is used in the pan, {Teflon/plastic or steel} I use the plastic and what is used to clean the pan, {abrasive or cloth} I use a cloth. They were impressed that it's lasted as long as it did {none stick} with the amount of people using it each day.

You are the first youtuber that shows the video you refer to instead of telling us to click link to it

I gotta get one of these. My favorite pan i own is the green ceramic one but there's staining that i can't get off. This one looks way better

8:34 *_Hell yeah!_* That's the way to do it!

Thanks to your initial review my wife and I bought this. We use it almost every day, well, fair to say is our go to pan and it's still exceptional

Tried various frying pans over many years. The granite rock pan seems to be the best of the nonstick and cast iron is classic, but I've settled on carbon steel for use from anything from campfire to induction cooktop. Had a little trial-and-error with cleaning and a bit more with keeping it seasoned so that it was rustproof and nonstick, but after hundreds of uses, eggs slide around like it was a new nonstick pan, and it is next to indestructible.

"We're going in raw and we'll see how it goes" we all know how that goes James! Hahaha!

Was looking on the net for this the Granite Rock pan, but have discovered another brand called Granite Stone. Wonder if the two are the same. Thanks for the review.

I think the different results this year are largely to do with varying heat and cooking lengths. I think the pan has held up great and still is just as capable as when you first bought it and put it through its paces!

I HAD a Red Copper pan but for some reason it warped after a month of uses. The bottom no longer lay flat on my glass topped stove. To the best of my knowledge I never overheated the pan or tried to cool it down too quickly. Shortly thereafter I noticed that the interior finish was crazing! Red Copper got recycled. Granite Rock, however, has done so well that I purchased a larger version to use for some recipes. The interior did not stick ever, even after washing it in the dishwasher (no, Red Copper never went into the dishwasher)so I for one, am pleased with the pan.

Best home cooking pan I've ever used.

I'm impressed... might have to buy one of these.

Hey I'm very pleased to see how good your pan looks & works after a year. I've never had any of those pans but maybe one day I'll have that Granite Rock Pan. Thanks 👍

Wasn't sure if I would buy one but now I'm probably going to get one. Thanks for your review

Wait, you've only used that pan 100x in a year? Dude that pan is brand f*ing new!

When I cook my Jolly Ranchers I will ONLY use Granite Rock pans.

I bought one about 8 months ago. I don't use metal utensils in it and let it cool slowly. No warping or any visible wear. Works as well today as the day I bought it and I use it for something every night. I use my cast iron to sear and cook meats so it never really sees high temperature use so that might make a difference. A few months after I got this I bought the smaller size to go along with it.

Yeah, most channels rarely, if ever, do a follow up review after good use. Thanks for being one of the few. BTW: your reviews are interesting and informative.

Talking to the shrimp “come on, guys“ 😂 Good demo. Makes me want to buy this 🍳 💪🏼

Really is the best pan I’ve ever used, I wish it had a lid

I bought one in Leclerc supermarket 5 yrs ago.(27 Euros for large frying pan) The underside of the pan is all burnt (gas rings) but inside is as good as new. Best pan I have ever bought!!!

I've had 2 Rock frying pans for 3 or 4 years... used almost daily and often more than once a day ( 5 adults in this house). I LOVE them both still. I will admit that they have been treated pretty badly by some people here. They are not quite as slippery as they used to be due to *someone* who left one of them on the burner, with olive oil no less LOL. That being said, these are my favorites in the world! I have a Zwilling J.A. Henckels Spirit Thermolon Ceramic Nonstick Tri-Ply Clad Pans (also known as Sol CeraForce) which I only keep because it's much larger than my largest "Rock" pan. That one lost its non-stick quality within the first 8 months. I was at Canadian Tire (yes I'm Canadian) and checked out the Rock pans there. I think I'll stick to my old ones because they felt so light and flimsy compared to what I have now. If someone can tell compare the heavy substantial Rock against the new flimsy ones I'd love to see it. You see, I have RA, which is getting worse, and I'm thinking I just might have no choice to buy the light pans in the future. Well... I double checked my pans and I guess we're talking about 2 different animals here. I have "The Rock" pans ... LOVE THEM. These are from Heritage, but I'm not going to remove my post because it still applies.

This guy looks like a white Terry Crews Or if Walter White did Crossfit and honestly I'm okay with either

In my opinion the best non stick pan is a well taken care off well seasoned pan

watching this has become a family tradition for me and my family. thank you so much for the joy that you bring to this house. cannot wait for this years!!! (rewatching this now LOL)

This is fantastic as I'm hunting around deciding on getting a new pan. Thanks so much for doing this extended followup review.

Company: goodness our pan isn't destroyed. Our sales will go down!

I believe the ultimate test is corned beef hash. Those potatoes stick like nothing else

I love watching your reviews, you present the facts as you've tested. Thx for this follow up, I'm gonna add this to my other pans. 😁 When I think of buying a new product, I ck to see if you've reviewed it, and if so, what the results were. You've saved me money for sure!

My wife and I bought a whole set of Bialetti they're still holding well. Its been a 1 1/2 years now. But before we bought the set we bought the small 8 inch fry pan a few months before the set. The coating is 60% gone only because I used it so much and cleaned it with the green scotch brite pad more often than I probably should have.. Even so with limited imitation rock coating food will stick to it.. When using butter to fry eggs at low temperature it's still does fine.. still moves around in the pan without sticking otherwise eggs will stick to the old pan without coating with butter.. Any kind of coated cookware for the stove will not last long when subjected to the high heat setting anyway..

Can't wait to see how this PANS OUT........ 👀

I've had two of the medium size frying pans since they first came out at the store so that was quite a few years ago. They are by far the best cookware I have ever used in my entire life. And I have used a lot of the expensive brands thinking they were going to last me a lifetime or at least 10 years, but I have found that they are all just "HIGH PRICED" with "EXTREMELY LOW QUALITY"!!! Granite Stone cookware is so terrific that I want the whole entire set that is called the "Stack Master" that has the "Entire" set and are Stackable. They all fit perfectly inside of one another. Plus as a bonus you get all of the oven cookware. As soon as I can afford it I am going to buy the "Granite Stone Stack Master" set because I know it will be the last kitchen cookware that I will ever have to purchase again. These are the best out there. And when you love to cook this is the perfect cookware to work with. There's just no other that compares.

It's actually really impressive even a year later.

I have one and use it everyday. Absolutely the best pan I've ever had and it's holding up well.

I bought a Nuwave induction cooktop which included 2 ceramic coated frying pans. The cooktop still works like a charm, but the frying pans after about a year began to stick and after 3 years were toast! I have friends who bought the Copper Chef and Cathy Mitchell's Red Copper pans and they all say the same. It appears your Blue Diamond pan is also pretty much the same. Is your Granite Rock pan following suit? It would be interesting to test your Granite Rock pan today, 2 years after purchase just to see how well it has lasted. Love your videos! They have given me good food for thought (pardon the pun) in my shopping! John Shaw

So basically like cast iron and requires seasoning of the pan, regardless it's better than majority of pans I've seen and I'm impressed

"I wouldn't do this" does it.

We bought ours earlier this year after we saw your first review. It's our go to pan. We're hoping to eventually get a whole set of them but sadly they're becoming hard to find in our area.

I use Curtis Stone pans handed down from Mom. I moved into a house with an induction stove top and these were induction-ready. Been using them for a year and have been very careful, treated them well and they still look and work like brand new. You can find them on HSN.

I bought mine a year ago, and everything sticks to it just as bad as it did when it was new.

This has to be the best product so far .

Bought this after your review last year, I usually put a small amount of oil when cooking but it works fantastic, even now.

Another Great video, thanks! I also have a Granite Rock pan and love it. We have tried the copper ones also, but as you show the granite one is far superior. It is our go to pan.

...I gonna go find a large rock and start cooking on it.

can you confirm graniterock and granitestone to be the same, or is one a knock-off?

Great review. This is by far more useful to me than the new tests. All these non-stick pans work the first few weeks, its only after use that they degrade. The fact that this one didn't is a huge endorsement for this pan. thanks!

My Granite Rock is still loved in my household after almost a year. Thanks for the update.

Best pan I've ever owned, I just wish it were bigger.

after a year, I'm going to find this pan.

We bought a couple of Granite Rock frying pans for our motorhome about 3 years ago, mostly because they were cheap at Canadian Tire. Then, a little over a year ago we got an induction cooktop in our home and needed new cookware that worked with it. We bought a complete set, in the tan color, and they too have performed well. They are all still non-stick and there has been no discoloration.

This is why this channel can be trusted, bought one after the first review and mine has held up really well!

04:10 That fourth flavor is called cancer... that's what cancer tastes like

I got the copper pans, totally failed

49 dollars off thanks! I’m when I purchased the largest set - your review really sold me I was struggling trying to find a good quality set. I’ve been using the copper pan but it’s just not good after a few months use.

I was interested in this pan but wasn't sure how it do I'm glad you're here. :)

Theres not one person i know that cooks with no butter or oil unless they like bland food so i say the pan is worth every penny

That’s criminal to cook that chicken breast like that with no seasoning lol 😂 nice pan tho 👍

I bought this pan for my husband last year based off of your review. He still loves and uses it all the time!

nice, i like how you did same exact tests as before seems like a great product
