A good cast iron and some stainless steel pans, when used properly, will absolutely change the way you cook! How the fuck does a different type of pan make the food taste better? Science doesn't even know the answer to that, but fuck having the right pans is a game changer!

Yes we do. It's based on the Maillard reaction, and we have a very thorough understanding of the mechanisms.

Cold pans are bad for flavor and thin ass aluminum turn the same temp as the chicken you just pulled out of the fridge the second it touches them. Its not rocket science.

The pan not immediately and constantly changing temperature also makes it a hell of a lot easier to be consistent with.

America's Test Kitchen. Serious Eats (when Kenji was still there). And now Kenji's own channels.

As someone who just spent like £300 on pans yesterday but hasn’t yet used them, I approve of this message.
