The Best Stainless Steel Pan For Under $40

The Best Stainless Steel Pan For Under $40 | Amazon Commerical Review

Күн бұрын

In this video, I'm going to review the Amazon Commercial 3 Ply 8in and 10in Stainless Steel Skillet. I'll tell you why these are the best budget-friendly stainless steel skillets and how they stack up to All-Clad. I'll also talk about the differences between no ply, 3 ply, and 5 ply stainless steel pans and food-grade stainless steel. What makes a good stainless steel pan or skillet? For under $40, this may be worth considering.
UPDATE: since filming this video, Amazon has released a 12 inch 3 ply skillet for only $32. That’s incredible! amzn.to/3DSUYx3

Another great video! A lot of great info, and especially loved your B roll! I always look forward to your new videos. What's your opinion on 5 ply vs. 3 ply? Is it worth the price difference to get the All-Clad D5 pans for a home cook? Thanks! Also, Made-in has 18-10 stainless steel and is 5 ply, but is cheaper than All-Clad. Not sure about their warranty though.

As I watch videos and listen to experts like you break it all down, it's so rewarding....but I digress. This is an old video. Amazon now offers a 3 piece set of their Commercial 3 ply SS skillet set; 8, 10 and 12 inch for $60! Before I order, tell me how to monetize YOU....hopefully you respond soon....I'm excited to get the set. Thanks....and I've subscribed as well.

All of my stainless is 18/8. It has been used and abused, so much so that to had to spend hours to get all of the burnt on build up over 25 years of use off of them because I was tired of looking at it on my beautiful stainless cookware. That was cosmetic, and did not deter function in any way. They have lasted 25 years, and I fully expect to be dead before they wear out. I have zero issues with 18/8 stainless. These look like nice pans; if I was needing one, even at the tiny price bump these have gotten, I'd grab one in an instant.

Loved your reviews, as I am All-Clad owner, and love all my *All-Clad* skillets! I totally agree with all you said. Great Tips! BTW: I am also a Landlord, and sometimes, I find cookware, in vacant apartments, after they moved out, If I have a forward address, I will contact them to pick them up. However, sometimes, people just SKIP OUT, and leave stuff. Mostly in a dirty sink. I am extremely picky via my cookware, so I usually don't take anything home left behind. However, a few years ago, I took home a 10" *Anolon* non-stick skillet. I am so in-love with it, I bought 2 more! I don't see that you have made a review on this brand. Do you mind sharing your thoughts? (I know it's not All-Clad, by a long shot, however a very well crafted skillet.

I washed it a couple times and when I dried with a paper towel grey residue showed up & seems to still be occurring. Anyone know about this, safe or dangerous, part of the manufacturing process or something leaching out that should not be? Any safe way to resolve this (even if it's benign, I still don't want a pan doing this) or should I just return it?

Is it rainbow heat stains? If so, it’s very common and completely normal with stainless steel. Even the most expensive pans do it. You can clean the pan and remove the rainbow stains that are usually caused by heat by adding a mixture of distilled white vinegar and water and lightly scrubbing it with the soft side of a sponge pad. You could also use bar keepers friend

Don't worry if only the inner layer is 18/10, rather you should worry if the outer layer is if you have induction, as generally 18/10 stainless steel is not magnetic, and 18/8 is little better. Often you will find the outer layer being 18/0 which while not quite as 'stainless' or good for food, is very magnetic, since it is the level of nickel (the /x bit) which reduces how magnetic it is. All I can say is that if your daughter can know what you need better than you at 18 months, I don't envy you as she gets older!
