Red Copper Pan Review (12 inch): 21 Day Test

red copper pan as today's review can it live up to the advertising that's something to find out in this review red copper pan all right so this is one review I wasn't going to do either but there's so many reviews out there that give this thing the thumbs-up and so many commenters out there they give it a thumbs down I think it ever view need to take into consideration some of the complaints that consumers have had not just use it one time and say that it works anybody just use some of these newer nonstick surfaces no did they degrade over time so the problem is using the first time and given a review is not accurate typically when I do a review I'll take the product I'll take the advertising I'll kind of compare the two and then see if the product works and how it compares would be advertising but with a red copper pan it's going to be a little bit different because it's been around for a while and there's a lot of reviews already out there and the reviews kind of vary in the results so I'm going to take a look not just at the advertising but it's some of the results from the top of the reviews out there and really I think there's Fault on both sides of it let's get started first thing you have to do is season the pan let's do it all right 300 degrees now the seasoning begins first up I'll tell you that the durability demonstration the commercials don't try those if you scratch it with a fork it's going to scratch if you use a mixer on it it's going to scratch if you run over it with your car it's probably going to chip so I'm not going to waste this 3-hour pan doing those demonstrations that have already been proven to be kind of bogus so I'm going to focus more on the merits of the pan and some of the reviews that maybe are a little bit biased one way or the other [Applause] just add a shiest - one fried one over easy day - boom day - still looking good with the school then I'm gonna wipe it out so the typical review for red copper pan kind of goes like this they open the packaging they put it on the stove sometimes without seasoning it like you're supposed to do toss an egg in there and some of the reviews might turn the egg up on high burn it and then say that it doesn't work or the other reviews might put it on low like you're supposed to cook an egg and then it flops out perfectly and they say hey it works I don't think either one of those are really that accurate because a nonstick pan is usually going to work well the first time you use it so the one time the one offer views on the first day how accurate can they really be so this review spans a total of three weeks and I used it every day sometimes a couple of times a day and you're going to see the pan after three weeks but I took the steps to really take care of the pan and try to make it last as best I could for getting some of those crazy advertising claims because they're not accurate [Music] this one I didn't using the oil because it has butter already on the bread and so far it's sliding around pretty good it doesn't look like it's sticking it off alright for the slide out test so there's a few steps you can take to get the most out of a nonstick pan like this number one is season it like they say to do in the instructions number two use a low flame I see these reviews out there where they've got a cranked up to eight and nine high heat can degrade a nonstick surface quickly sometimes on the first use I don't think in the three weeks I use that I ever went above five on my setting number three let it cool a little bit before you clean it off you don't let it cool completely actually probably shouldn't but let it cool down somewhat so you're not going right from the stove to the sink because that can warp through the pan and that can also degrade the nonstick surface also I don't even use a sponge when I clean it I only use a paper towel some dish soap it's in warm water and he's kind of scrubbing you do has a chance of degrading the nonstick surface I've had that problem even using just a sponge or it's ruined the pan before so you really have to kind of baby these pans if you want to get the most out of them I know that's not what the advertising states the advertising necks like they're really durable if you want to get a nonstick pan to last over time you have to go out of your way to take steps to protect the nonstick surface or it's not going to last very long it may having last one use if you don't take care of it so far to keep my red copper pan as in good a shape as possible I always put a little olive oil in and I always keep the heat really low and I always heat the pan and the oil up first to make sure they're all ready to go now today for some reason my luck wasn't quite as good the eggs are a little bit more difficult to flip kind of overcooked one a little bit and I'm seeing more residue in the pan than I did the first several days like this that was not there the first couple days I never had any residue at all then let it cool clean it out my usual technique and see if it's any different all right here's my technique for claiming these copper pans this is my egg from earlier I got a little bit stuck on there so here's what I do I don't use a sponge a little bit of soap in there paper towel get wet gently gently wipe it out with a paper towel that's all I do so far that's been the best way of helping make these last longer not scrubbing them with a sponge letting them cool after you've cooked using only low heat and using olive oil now that might limit what you can make but that's the best way I found to make these last unfortunately the steps you have to take to make one of these pans last it's not really what the advertiser is promoting so a lot of these reviewers are trying to duplicate the advertising and they're ruining the pans because the advertising isn't accurate I like to put a little bit of olive oil on the bottom and make sure it's nice and warm before I start I never heated above about three or four copper eggs for the copper pan and hopefully they slide out like they have been yesterday was a little bit stickier than the previous day so let's see how today goes you want to slide out you got to kind of get them off the bottom so let's do this light just not too bad [Music] [Music] non-stick pans do need a special kind of care and even still they don't always last especially if you have something that burns in there you have the heat hi there's there's always a chance that you can have that one item that can ruin a pan so far the red copper pan has held up pretty well with my gentle cleaning my low heat settings but let's try something a little bit more challenging like some sausage all right I'm going to fry these up see how they turn out still a mojito I still think that eventually the nonstick surface is going to degrade on this pan but I've done my best to follow all the steps to ensure that it lasts and so far it is lasting I've had enough eggs to last a lifetime so I bought a little bit of shrimp see how that fries up in here see what happens here should be pretty good all right these are looking pretty good let's see how they pour out of this pan here and I got some residue here I'll be curious to see how that cleans up if he's look really good they didn't stick to the pan I did have to turn up a little bit warmer because shrimp cook better on higher heat so it's talked about 5 so far so good this could be more challenging there's some stuff on the bottom here and it's safe let's went off it's coming off I doubted it but it's coming off gently gently very gently all right clean up pretty good so far it's hanging in there even after the fried shrimp here we are day 21 I'm going to end this like I began it with two eggs so let's see what happens alright my final slide test my three-week red copper pan review here we go so now that my 21 day test of the red copper pan is over I'm going to go back and edit all my video so I can post this review but I'll keep using this pan I'll keep using my techniques to extend a lifetime as long as I can and I'll give you an update in a few months and let you know how that's going so I'm still kind of on the fence about not just red copper pan but all this copper nonstick cookware out there because it always works really well at first and then it degrades over time but if you can take some steps to ensure that it lasts longer then you might get a lot more use out of it than if you just use it like you would a regular pan because it's not a regular pan the advertising kind of does a disservice by acting like it's so durable when they're really not you actually need to be more careful with them not less like the advertising promotes if
