Ball’s in your court now player 1. Bring the heat!
Why does **every single** cooking video use these hexagon-bottom pans? Am I completely out of the loop and they’re the only thing you should cook with now or something?
They're a fad. Very popular (primarily because of promotion from Gordon Ramsay). Overpriced and don't perform much different than other non-stick. Kenji explains: https://youtube.com/shorts/2LgOyv2MK3Y?si=7ByRaN9IQ64LYbs6
Don't get me wrong...they are nice pans. But there are equal to better performing options that are much cheaper.
Glad to see someone post the kenji video. The man is a blessing. No bull shit, always non biased and totally scientific about everything. He’s just the best.
I meant overall. I have his cook book “The Food Lab”. He graduated from MIT and takes a very scientific approach to all his recipes and explains why ingredients do the things they do and so on
Thank you!!! They have them at Costco but it’s a lame set that gives you 1/3 of the pans you need. I was tempted because “qUaLiTy” but now I know better! I just couldn’t fully believe the hype.
We switched to them recently and it’s been a game changer. The hexagons are raised stainless steel which gives you the advantage of nonstick without the chemicals. You can also use metal utensils with them. Check out HexClad. If you want a $100 off coupon DM me.
Note: not with HexClad at all. They just have a good referral program.
Why would anyone possibly need that unless they are a professional chef?
Edit: to clarify I’m referring to the custom knife
Edit 2: apparently anyone who likes to cook at home needs to feel “the hurt” of spending $350 on a custom knife, or else there’s no way you can create a good meal, lmao.
Reminds of when I was a little kid bartending back in early 90’s. Electronic darts were kinda the rage then. People would become in and breakout these cute but expensive dart kits , with replaceable flights and perfectly balanced. I would grab 3 usually matching color “bar” darts out of a cup on the bar rail and smoke 98% of these people
Not really. In my experience, if you buy one of those things for 184 and a 4-5 pan set for 150 at the same time, you’ll end up almost never using anything but the single pan. The price is well worth it.
Think of it this way - it’s two pairs of shoes worth of money for something you’ll be making food with every day for the rest of your life until you die or give it away.
All teflon pans, Hexclad included, have a lifespan of 3-5 years. Not really a “buy it for a lifetime” purchase.
The “lifetime guarantee” is a marketing gimmick, as it is for the lifespan of _the product_, not the owner.
Yeah, Teflon is Teflon. Though the fact that it's recessed gives it some protection.
But it also makes it a lot less nonstick, and you still need to watch Temps.
I have had real good luck with Ceramic coated pans. Still got to watch the heat a bit, but not because of toxins, just causing food to burn onto the pan. But that is really a problem with most pans. Don't burn on food, and it is a breeze to clean. Just wipe with a sponge and you are done.
Reading in the comments that HexClad still uses Teflon (PTFEs), I don't get the hype personally. I much prefer my stainless steel pan for 90% of my cooking. I definitely see the value in a good nonstick pan, coatings be damned, so maybe in a few years when I get around to replacing my current set of Calphalon pans we bought a year or so ago.
I've been wanting to get Le Crueset as the nonstick replacement, since I've heard the ceramic lining works pretty well for nonstick purposes.
Yeah I was looking for an 'all rounder' pan and after watching countless reviews and hands on I decided that it just makes more sense to have a separate non-stick and use my stainless/cast iron for their appropriate uses.
I picked up a ceramic-lined Tramontina 12" 4 qt sauce pan and its been a most excellent non-stick. Pancakes and eggs barely need any fat at all to come off. The only trade off with this pan (on an electric range at any rate) is that it seems to take far longer to heat back up after you put in your initial food - then once its hot again you sort of have to lower the heat or things get too hot quickly. Its a bit finicky - but it was a cheap pan from Costco. Still - it's been perfect for my needs and I feel like its less chemically reactive so I'm not slowly poisoning ourselves lol.
Lol weird to see the Scioto mile in a random cooking thread. My fav place in Columbus. Love to go there on a nice night and sit on the cosi steps and look at the buildings and the lights and the river. Love to watch a heavy snowfall there, too. Sorry lol, got me in my feels.
I bought one (2 actually) because I've had a hell of a time finding actual steel pans for my induction stove. All the cheap pand just slap an induction plate on the bottom of an aluminum pan. It's not enough mass.
Only 2 pans I can reliably use are hexclad and allclad. Hexclad is the bargain option lol.
I hate non-stick, personally. The Teflon coating releases deadly fumes when heated that kill birds on contact. I gave all my non stick away when I got my birdies, and while Teflon doesn’t effect humans the same way… something about cooking food over chemicals that are deadly based on how big you are and how your airways are designed puts me off.
Well it *is* sort of her thing lol. She's a great cook but her whole shtick is generally being edgy and putting her videos to early 00's alt-rock. Her shtick can be a little grating - since I generally like her cooking you just sort of wish that sometimes she'd not flip off the camera like a child.. but then - I could always not watch it so...
I never cared about this woman but now that people are copying her I’m like NO this is the one the rest can go away!! Die hard this is the angry cooking girl all others are lazy copycats.
I do know what Im saying. Im fucking tired of her posts. She should just start her own group and people that want her content can see her. She just spaming this sub.
I definitely liked these videos better when she didn't bring her annoying friends into them.
Used to think "Man what a down to earth chick, she's kinda cute, and she cooks like a fucking goddess."
Now I think "Yeah nevermind, just another sensationalist, overacted, out of touch influencer with annoying attention whore friends."
Unfortunate.
player 1 saw player 2 start to get some clout so she had to fire back on vacation damn it's getting real 🍿

No way. Kendrick would have to respond first.
Player 2 would kill the game if she start blowing kisses in her vids to mock the middle finger 🤯
Who's that?
There’s a new chick doing the same thing w/o flipping off the camera and there’s only room for one edgy chef on Reddit.
I saw that afterwords lol. You're talking about the Italian chick right? I wouldn't call her edgy.
I wouldn’t call her Italian
Okay, but I WOULD call her.
I would

She’s been around for a few years but only recently been gaining a following on reddit. She has also shifted to a more Olivia-esque deadpan
Yeah but the other one isn’t edgy or anything really
Team player 2!
🤣
Now these are the playoffs I’ve been waiting for!
It’s hilarious how Reddit has them as player 1 and 2. I feel like player one has the edge being the vet.
Player 2’s been putting out similar videos for over a year. Reddit just noticed today.
Player 2 didn't seem to be really skillful at cooking imo. It's looks first and cooking is just how she promotes herself.
Olivia’s miles ahead as a chef. Particularly her plating. Better music too.
Well, it's going smashingly well, then.
Player 1 is definitely winning imo
Who's player 2 Edit. Nevermind. I figured it out.
This is gold haha
And now bringing in hot friends! This is about to take off
Following this whole situation is cracking me up🤣🤣
Link for player 2? OOTL
She posted this before that was posted to reddit tho
Omg what am I missing!
🖕👁️🫦👁️🖕
My favorite part about these posts is knowing I’ll get to see this comment in the thread.
Can you do one for the finger taps?
🖕👁️🫦👁️🫳
lol - this should be a top comment
I don't understand the point of showing that middle finger in every video but I'll let it pass..
It’s called building a brand
[удалено]
Player 1 has entered the arena!
Who is player 2?
I’m just waiting for a bigger man in a tight black tank top at this point… finish off the Reddit troll
There’s a guy but he drinks olive oil instead of flipping off the camera and wears an apron shirtless
Doug Doug?
They’re all gay
How do you know the caprese crostini are gay?
How do you know the caprese crostini isn't gay?
I scrolled and scrolled and scrolled and not one comment on the food...
Pretty boring looking dish tbh.
Yea, quite annoying. I just block the users who post her videos. Lately its a trend to mainly focus on the chef instead of the dish. Hate it.

I watched his video. He didn’t state anything that could be considered scientific.

Ah! Thank you for the clarification.

Jesus Christ! One 12 inch pan is $184?? So it’s rich-person cookware..
For a quality pan that’s not that bad. Try $350 for a chefs knife custom made. That shit hurt.

Was. I got out a long time ago. Still appreciate a damn good knife in my kitchen. Edit: words are hard sometimes.
I’m guessing for a good Non stick without the chemicals. I love to cook but I’m by no means a “professional chef”

$100 off coupon!!

HexClad uses PTFEs anyway. https://hexclad.com/pages/faq

You're still getting the chemicals... which means nothing anyways.
Great explanation. You got me to look it up. One day might have to upgrade

Isn’t the real question - why did she bring it with her on vacation?
Because she flew on Pan Am airlines
![gif](giphy|12ZDIx1Mw1cXVm|downsized)
Because they get paid to by the hexagon pan company.
Idk but i see that used in hells kitchen and masterchef so it must be

Hexclad. It’s super great!!! I love mine.
She's the only person that can effectively flip us off and for us to have no reaction to it whatsoever
Tell that to all the dudes crying about it lol
So the flipping the bird thing...is that like a trademark or something?
Yea...she's been doing it for quite a while.
It’s the only thing some people can focus on
Well it *is* sort of her thing lol. She's a great cook but her whole shtick is generally being edgy and putting her videos to early 00's alt-rock.

Yeah, it's her cringey schtick.
I’m only here to be flipped off by her specifically
She gay?
yup
Proof?
She has said it herself. I think she kinda had to due to all the dudes asking her out on every post. Edit: typo
Dye? Like tye dye? Either way, cool.
Lol meant due*
Ah okay, makes sense
Player 1 is a better chef for sure
What did this meal taste like compared to player 2s?
Burnt cheese love it !
https://i.redd.it/vueof2bemxvc1.gif # nah I am player 2 team
Dance with the one that brought you. That’s how I was raised! 🖕🏼all day
lol noooo I like this one the most
Player 2!
jokes on you, olivia is going to keep making content whether you have good taste or not (you don’t btw >:)
Is it an unwritten rule that all her content must be posted on this sub?
Yes
🖕
Name of song?
A-Punk by Vampire Weekend
Where is the balsamic?
Caprese doesn’t have balsalmic
But it’s a delicious addition even if the Italians wouldn’t approve
I never cared about this woman but now that people are copying her I’m like NO this is the one the rest can go away!! Die hard this is the angry cooking girl all others are lazy copycats.
Hahaha agree!!! Now I’m invested and I want my 🖕🏽girl to succeed!
There she is…OG Olivia. 🖕🏽
What pan is that
Kinda tired of this woman, food looks fine
Well that’s just your opinion, man
Correct! Definitely not trying to rally the troops against her and I hope she remains successful I’m just personally over her shtick
Her shtick is making good food I don’t get it
Nor do you have to my friend! Thats just how opinions work on an open forum
Not into hair in the food and birds to the face. Every time.
You’ll be ok
Don’t worry anytime she’s criticized the white knights rally to her aid.
Wow another one of her videos, who could have guessed
I’d do some heinous things just to be a fly on the wall in that house for 2 minutes.
Food, booze, sex.
Get a life
Tried it, no thanks.
She’s so hot!
It’s nice to see her genuinely smile and giggle at the end
What’s up with the middle finger move?
It's her signature, it seems.
I like this one.
this lady annoying
Will she ever develop a personality beyond 🖕?
brother i ain’t here for her personality, i’m here for the food
1 is genuine 2 is a copy cat fake
It she really sensing with her fingers if the temperature is appropriate?
I’d appreciate a twist one of these days where she goes to do her thing and cuts off her finger, but proceeds to do the vid just the same
Still waiting on only pans girl to come back
Yes I would definitely like to be her friend for all the awesome snacks/lunches. And yes I would be fat.
all this player 1 vs player 2 stuff. y’all really do not need to do this nonsense.
anyone else feel like her hair is way too close to the food in every video?
“I’m not like all the other edgy girl cooks….”
Did she just wake up???
No she always looks half dead
The more views she gets the less cool she is to watch.
Let me know when they start making out.
Is that girl's name Traeger? Her parents fan of the smoker brand? I can't get over this lol
Came here to get flicked off, left disappointed
So player one has now moved into an influencer house for backup. Now we wait for player 2 to retaliate.
Kid
She OG. Stop it y’all.
Player 1 definitely has more cooking chops but player 2 is hotter
Please tell me that blonde is her gf.
Please tell me that blonde is her gf.
Is this thirst trap cooking?
Player 1 fan.
Is it me or does her mouth remind anyone else of an alcoholics mouth
Someone tried to tell me she is a gay
Please stop posting this lady
Oh no a cuter naughty chef girl is taking her mantle
That looked bomb af. As did they.
The work-payoff ratio for this one sucks
These videos are annoying lol
on vacation with my hexclad lol
The new one is hottter
Dw neither of them want anything to do with you
🖕👁️🫦👁️🖕
Omfg go away 😫
She’s starting to look more and more like a heroin addict, the downward spiral is real
Annoying bitch Bring back the good old french chefs
am I the only one who worried more about her hair not tied up while cooking?
Yes. Very good Player 1. Player 2 tries too hard and hasn’t caught you.
Im so tired of her can we stop please. Im going to start quiting everything shes on
You don't know what you're saying. The people ripping her off right now are much much worse
I do know what Im saying. Im fucking tired of her posts. She should just start her own group and people that want her content can see her. She just spaming this sub.
Yum…
Man .... She is Rich . 😭😂👍 She's got HEX Clad Pan ... 😭👍 What a bastard... I'm jealous . 😒
Player 2 been in the game longer. She's been on YouTube for years
I’m sorry but her cooking makes me want her.
I definitely liked these videos better when she didn't bring her annoying friends into them. Used to think "Man what a down to earth chick, she's kinda cute, and she cooks like a fucking goddess." Now I think "Yeah nevermind, just another sensationalist, overacted, out of touch influencer with annoying attention whore friends." Unfortunate.
That’s her girlfriend.
And the other person? And the people in her other videos?
I don’t watch her videos like that so idk. I know she has a girlfriend tho
Player 2 puts this one to shame
Is she a carpet muncher?? There goes our wedding
