I've Been Secretly Working On This For 2 Years...

this video is sponsored by ag1 [Music] I'm so pleased with what we did [Music] sanity the amount of work required to make this they definitely can improve my source game hold on a second it's taking a long time to get to this point so maybe maybe we should start from the beginning [Music] so some of you may remember that back in October 2020 as part of the mother social series I travel all the way to Istanbul to try and make the perfect saucepan with the help of my good friend Emmy [Applause] is the founder and owner of Sawyer company that makes some of the world's best professional copper cookware now he came up with a with a new kind of cookware silver plated copper cookware that's right silver plated this is not just to be flash there is a very practical reason if you want perfect heat control these two metals are the two most inductive Metals in the universe and you will not need to mix for example you know when you do sauces you don't need to mix no since the pan itself is a full vessel for conduction so if you take incredible materials like this and also apply crazy levels of craftsmanship then what you end up with is the saucepan that not only outperforms any cookware out there and lasts a lifetime but it's also beautiful turns out it wasn't just me that thought it was beautiful [Music] I mean even if they are quite expensive a lot of you guys decided to buy a pan straight from emir and that gave me an idea [Music] now at this point I've been using my soy sauce Panthers sometime and it is true you don't have to stir too much and it's insanely responsive to heat changes there are no hot spots it's amazing but to be honest if I were to be designing my own saucepan I would want it to be lighter on the wrist obviously but also on the wallet I would want it to reflect my style something a little more modern with clean surfaces and straight lines to be honest I have been thinking about this a lot I did not really believe that anything would come out of this reflection but this happened okay and now a few words from our sponsor ag1 so for the past few months on an empty stomach I have been drinking every morning it's like a ritual now ag1 this nutritional drink has 75 different ingredients including vitamins minerals superfoods probiotics and adaptogens ag1 has no GMOs no herbicides no pesticides no artificial color flavors preservative or sweeteners

to give it a try go to athleticgreens.com Alex to get started on your order ag1 is going to give my community a free one year supply of immune supporting vitamin D3 plus K2 and 5f free travel packs with your first purchase thanks ag1 for sponsoring this video alright back to the video this happened so I had to start making design decisions about how this dream part of mine was going to be from using emir's original plan I knew I wanted something smaller for two reasons first for the weight as I mentioned before but also for control I mainly wanted the saucepan for finishing sauces and I've learned from my time with Master sushi that a smaller pan means more control I also wanted the band to look different to look more modern turns out this was also going to help with my next requirement you see all this hammering there's a lot of man hours and therefore it just cost a lot [Music] with the modern Vibe I thought the handle needed to match and so I asked Amir and he suggested something sleeker and smoother made from lighter materials as things progress I decided I would need a company to sell and distribute these pants of course it's a collaboration with soy yes but I wanted to be the one dealing with you guys I wanted to be the conveyor of what I believe in now obviously every company needs a name and so I had to think of one for mine what's up guys and that's how Salu company was born if you're a fan of the channel you may remember that I did a limited run of blue fridge notebooks a year back all inspired by my original notebook which was in turn inspired by my blue fridge it's a beautiful Circle the point is that I wanted to see how you guys would react to me selling things directly to you through my new company turns out pretty well the final thing was the packaging design thank you [Music] [Applause] [Music] thank you [Music] [Music] [Music] this is the result of two years of hard work it's gorgeous yes but that's not the only quality it has the number one thing to mention is the unparalleled performances okay on the outside you've got copper you're one of the most heat reactive metal on the planet only topped by another one which is on the inside silver Emir from soy mostly sells to high-end money doesn't seem to be an issue for them however for us passionate home Cooks price is in the equation one of my aim one of my goal was also to lower the price a bit one of the ways we did that was to use a slightly smaller saucepan but also I've asked soy to use a slightly thinner layer of copper on the outside by reducing the thickness of the walls yes we kept the cost a little lower which is always good but also we made the saucepan a bit lighter it still is pretty hefty to be honest compared to normal and saucepan but compared to the original one this one you you're really building up some strength but it's just a little too much to my taste this one I feel like it's perfectly balanced solid it's Hefty but not to the point of like causing you know wrist pain at least the original handle had the very organic almost root like feel to it this one is way more modern the material used for that handle is carbon steel but it's then it's heated and it's plunged in hot oil and you've got that beautiful black carbon finish now something to keep in mind is that this saucepan is not going to be working on induction stove and but it does work on gas and electric okay wait a minute don't move I got something for you since you guys have provided me with useful feedback that you would love to own a saucepan that is also super super easy to maintain we went and made a second version the pan is exactly similar you've got the same handle the same outside the same thickness the only thing that differs is that the inside is now made out of stainless steel more scratch resistant it's also just a little less conductive than silver obviously this one is easier to maintain this one has slightly higher performances also this one is made out of silver on the inside but this one with the stainless on the inside maybe looks a little more modern in the end I'll let you decide which one you want to pick because yes that's obviously the beauty of this whole story we've made these saucepan available for you whether you're based in the US in North America or you're based in Europe or anywhere else in the world you can buy these right now so if you want to head over to cellucompany.com and secure your order there we went for 750 units and that's all we've got for the whole world of course if the demand is super super high maybe we'll do another batch in the future but I can't guarantee that at this moment this was just like a stupid idea on paper this was just me going to Istanbul wanting to forge my own saucepan out of bare metal and then the concept and then the trials and error and all the way to this two products which you you can now own in your own kitchen I think it's a beautiful Circle honestly when I started this YouTube Adventure I had no idea whatsoever that at some point in the future I was going to be able to create something like this and even further make it available for you guys I'm Humbert I'm thankful I'm happy I'm proud when I see these bad boys so I guess we see us in the next one bye-bye [Music] [Music] [Applause] foreign [Applause]
