**Check out my newest video -- Soufflés, lattes, hot chocolate, and more — it's all about the magic of bubbles: youtu.be/rU5u9UzZnEU
Can a $4200 frying pan really cook 100X better than my $40 carbon steel pan? This video turned into metal mayhem: stainless steel, carbon steel, cast iron, aluminum, copper, and more in an effort to find my perfect pan.
Along the way, I show how heat really moves through different metals, and the one simple mistake that quietly makes almost every pan perform worse than it should.
