    TL;DW as this was honestly 15 minutes (well 7.5 in my case as I watched on 2x speed) that could have been condensed into a single sentence in an article and a table of results: Fully clad pans

    Stainless clad if just wanting durability, stainless and carbon steel clad if you want to get a semi-non-stick surface through seasoning without PTFE/Teflon.

      I see you're data driven rather than story driven. That's fair. Thanks for the run-down.

      I'm on the same page. A quick graphic and we're done. The lighting was nice.

    Chris Young is an inventor who makes an intriguing product that he advertises at least once in his video, but the rest of the video is him bringing the same obsessiveness that he put into his invention into testing cooking tools and techniques. This is his latest, where he compares five types of pan to talk about their diffusivity and properties, including testing a silver pan. Yes, silver. It cost him about $4,000 USD.

        Ah! I didn't know his pedigree, to be honest. I encountered him on YouTube and other than mentioning that he cooked at The Fat Duck and talking about his probe thermometer, he mostly just focuses on his deep dive into whatever topic he's currently interested in for the video.

          Kenji says nice (unsponsored) things about the thermometer too. Yeah, along with Fallow IMHO he's the most interesting cooking channel around. His video on hot and cold coffee is amazing.
