The only argument I've seen is that tv chefs don't care because the pans are provided by the show and thus one use and disposable. Ramsay has a bunch of home shot videos where it looks like he uses the same nonstick pan to sear.
Why does Ramsay sear meat in a non stick pan?
Jason James
Nathan Hall
Does it work?
That's why.
Parker Parker
Because cast-iron is a fucking meme
Dominic Allen
Stick pans are hard to come by nowadays. They also catch fire too often.
Charles Young
That looks like a carbon steel pan.
William Rodriguez
better head distribution
Austin Bell
This annoys me as well. It's impossible to get a good sear on a non stick pan.
I'm guessing because these teflon pan guys are paying him to use the pans on his show. Trying to get people to use their chemical sprayed pans.
As many conspiracy theories there are out there these days I'm surprised that isn't one yet.
Brandon Moore
>It's impossible to get a good sear on a non stick pan.
Not true
Ayden Moore
OP here. This isn't a non stick hate thread. I have one myself for eggs. It's that you're not supposed to heat them past 500 degrees. To sear, you're going way above that.
Caleb Ward
that's carbon steel you dip
Jacob Garcia
it's not, notice the unseasoned ring where the nonstick surface meets the aluminum.
Asher Gutierrez
you literally aren't going to even 500 degrees unless you're using extremely high smoke point oil, of which there are like one or two that youd want to risk hearing to 500 degrees
Sebastian Lewis
Lol this. Where do these ultra high heat sear fags get their info from?
Jeremiah Reed
If you've never seared you meat against the corona of the sun, you just aren't doing it right.
Caleb Brooks
Raymond Blanc uses nonstick too.

Christopher Cruz
Are cast iron pans the new water filters?
Gabriel Moore
More like mason jars for cups.
Nolan Sullivan
Pans on TV are provided free by companies in exchange for being featured on the show
Robert Bennett
But they are still able to crust a steak.
Benjamin Gonzalez
That looks like anodized aluminum not nonstick.
Mason Cox
Look at the handle. It's seasoned carbon steel.
Joshua Powell
A lot of people are suspicious of teflon, me included. I came across something one time (maybe Wikipedia for all I know) that claimed a study found teflon in the blood of newborn babies. That kind of freaked me out.
Ryder Morris
What does the handle have to do with anything?
Charles Morgan
So you have a fonde for making sauce you pleb
Oliver Watson
>nonstick
>fond (you actually mean sucs)
Julian Sanchez
unless you're making a fond for further use, there is no point in a non-non-stick pan
Samuel Jackson
Not seeing the correct answer here, so I'll give it.
Typically, it's so you develop a fond for deglazing and sauce creation.
But what he's using is carbon steal, not non-stick. Big difference.
Liam Peterson
>he's using is carbon steal,
>steal
but he's not. It's shiny where the teflon and aluminum meet.
Benjamin Ortiz
Lol that's not Teflon.
Anthony Peterson
Think about what hes doing and then think about why you need it to stick.
Alexander Bennett
It's not carbon steel. Carbon steel shouldn't shine.
Jonathan Miller
William Davis
>ramsay uses unseasoned carbon steel.
Sure champ.
Dylan Price
a lot of these tv chefs seem to use metal implements on non-stick pans, i cringe everytime
Justin Hughes
Lol however you want to justify your being wrong.
I'm not the one losing sleep at night.
Christian Sanchez
Still not seeing your point.
Michael Clark
teflon emits toxic gas at high cooking temperatures.
Hunter Gonzalez
I don't see it, actually
not being ironic
Colton Smith
higher cooking temperatures than your equipment is capable of reaching
teflon emits toxic gas when put into like a broiler
Brandon Perry
...
William Hernandez
No reason to season the rim of the pan, dude.
Ayden Sullivan
sure, no reason not to, but no reason to believe it not having been seasoned is definitive proof of anything.
here's the info we have:
>searing is shit in non-stick skillets
>the shape of pan he is using looks very much like almost any carbon-steel pan, or potentially a handful of aluminum non-stick pans
>it's colour, both inside and out, is similar to that of a carbon steel pan and have not seen on a non-stick aluminum pan
>he's searing meat in it
there's more in the "it's carbon steel" column than there is in the "it's not carbon steel" column. At best, there's a slight element of doubt. To try and inflate that into "he's definitely using a non stick pan" is just silly. You can safely assume he's using carbon steel.
Oliver Richardson
Pretty sure that's ceramic, rather than teflon.
Justin Parker
no idea why he uses a non stick pan. But i've never gotten a Michelin star so ill shut the fuck up.
Christopher Flores
see the image in The edges will cook first on the ring of your burner, pulling the fibers making it concave away from the pan. If you use a pan that isn't non-stick it will lock to the pan and won't turn into a dry steak bowl.
You don't need to worry about that with a tenderloin that you're holding to your pan or a thiiick steak with enough weight to keep itself down.

Was La Galleria 33 staged?
Dylan Wood
Its all they had as well.. they will never recover.
Jeremiah Green
jimmy olive oil does it because he's constantly promoting his own brand, he only ever uses it. Not sure if ramsay has a brand of non-stick that he's promoting too?
Brandon Evans
OP back. Now I remember why I hate this board. A bunch of retards who have no idea what they're talking about who still spout their nonsense as fact and argue for pages.
Go to 2:10 for conclusive proof it's non stick. Argument, done.
