Be sure to read the rest of this text's useful additional explanations by clicking on more...! How do professional chefs make steel cookware non-stick? Is it even possible? Yes, it is completely possible, and it is very simple and fast, and in this video I will teach you the correct technique for doing this in the simplest way. At the beginning of the video, useful explanations are given about the health risks of using Teflon, aluminum, and traditional copper cookware. Hexclad cookware and similar types, known as "honeycomb (laser!) non-stick steel: They are far more dangerous than the integrated Teflon of famous European brands! The inside of the depressions of the steel surface (which is usually a cheap and poor-quality steel alloy) is filled with a non-stick coating of Teflon material, which is neither as integrated as Teflon, nor as healthy. Usually these parts start to peel off sooner and poison more food. The cheaper Chinese-made copies sold by fraudulent Iranian merchants called German and Korean are far more dangerous than Hex-Clad (which is a US-registered company that sells products made in China)! If you search the Internet, Mr. Gordon Ramsay has also been accused of fraud and immorality for fraudulently advertising these dishes, and there are currently several class action lawsuits pending in US courts for misleading and unhealthy advertising of these dishes, which you can see by searching the following phrase on Google: Class action lawsuit against hexclad ⚠❗🔴 Important explanation!! The answer to the question of many friends: Should the non-stick process of a steel pan (seasoning) be repeated before each use? Yes. This is not a permanent chemical coating like Teflon, etc.! The previous layer is removed during washing and the surface of the pan is completely cleaned, and before the next use **if the cooking technique you want to do requires a non-stick pan**, the pan is re-seasoned. ‼Seasoning is not required for all cooking techniques, use the resources below to master all cooking techniques in stainless steel cookware.

For more information about the serious health and environmental risks of Teflon cookware, you can refer to the following references or search for "health hazards of Teflon" on Google. https://www.webmd.com/food-recipes/ss... https://www.cookinglight.com/news/fda... Additional note: Using traditional cast iron cookware is relatively low risk, of course, provided you are skilled in using it correctly. Cast iron cookware with a special enamel coating (the good types of which are produced by several well-known French and German manufacturers and are at least twice as expensive as good steel) does not require any special considerations. The cheaper types of this type of cast iron cookware, which are also sold under the brand names of many American and European manufacturers, are all made in China and usually contain lead and other dangerous heavy metals in their glaze. Note that what has been sold as cast iron cookware in Iran in recent years is not cast iron, but is actually molded aluminum with a carcinogenic Teflon coating. To identify real cast iron (which is much heavier than these fake cast iron cookware), you can use a magnet that should stick completely to the body of the cookware.
