The Rock - Heritage Deep Fry Pan Review

Published 2017-11-26
This is my review on the Heritage deep fry pan from the company “The Rock”. I am using one egg and no oil or butter to see how well the frying pan releases the egg from the brand new cooking surface.

  • I have two of these pans and absolutely love them, best pans I have ever used...if you read the instructions it says to never heat an empty cooking utensil, be sure there is oil, butter, liquid or food before placing the cookware on the burner....for better non-stick performance, it is recommended to add a teaspoon of cooking oil prior to each use. I have never had anything to stick and cleaning is effortless, most of the time just requires wiping out with paper towel, or a light wash. This is a great pan.
  • I've used one for over a year now and wipe around a little butter or margarine before frying eggs and I never have a problem. These pans clean up very easily too. I just bought two more at Crappy Tire today. On sale , 70% off.
  • Ok friend, I just saw your video. I have this pan, and believe it or not, it is the very best pan I have ever had in my 46 years. But you need to use it correctly.. Its a picky pan, but it works fabulously. 1st, try to never use it above 5 (for best results) while its cold, just shoot a minuscule shot of oil (NOT BUTTER) unless its very little and its for taste (Not for no sticking) and when it reaches it right temperature, you can put anything on it, and you won't believe your eyes, "or tastebuds" and when your done, just take a damp cloth, just to remove some pieces of residue let it cool down, and wash it with simple dish soap and a soft sponge. I've been using it for the past 2 years, and its still just like new, and it cooks like nothing else. Try it for yourself and you'll see! Good Luck!

    So I went threw to actually buy one and it's amazing. I got one for frying and one for pancakes . Product is by far the best pan I've used.

    You have the temperature WAY to high! This is not an accurate test.

    I bought a two pack of these pans specifically for transfers into the oven. On the front label it said good to 450 degrees, so I purchased. On the inside instructions ( the ones this guy ignored ), it said not recommended to use on the burner at high heat. Seems strange to not be able to use on high heat. Any thoughts or did I read wrong. The wrap went to garbage so I can't check.

    You don’t need to put oil or butter. I do it without. I however believe you must have had the heat on high. Lower the heat if you don’t want to use oil. And let it cook a little before you lift it or it will stick.

    We bought ours 4 months ago. It was super.. Loved it.. For some reason the non stick coating inside the pan is gone. You can see that the little rocks are no longer there. I can't use the pan anymore. I can't get in touch with the company.. I leave messages but they don't get back to me.
  • @trhl1155
    Bro, you need to at least season it for the first time by a little oil. The instructions on the pan also advises never to cook without any oil or butter. Thanks for the video though.

    I only cook my eggs at 2.8 on my stove haha, you went scorched earth on that thing!
  • @randymurray934
    Not sure why you got some many down thumbs. I think this was a good demonstration. I cook eggs on T-fal with no oil for testing and they never stuck until about a year later after so many washings. Cheers

    I LOVE this video. It's good to see there's someone just as inept with a frying pan as I am. :0). Came here for insight into the Heritage pan and all I have to say is this: at the local thrift shop there are four or five of them with their coatings in various states of deterioration. That alone is discouraging because I would think they'd be more durable than the garden variety non-stick pans. Question to the OP: how's the pan holding up after five years?

    Me: I checked on the manufacturers website and it says this pan does indeed containt PTFE (forever chemical). GPT: If the Heritage The Rock Fry Pan specifically mentions containing PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene), this indicates that the non-stick coating on the pan includes this synthetic polymer, which is the same substance used in traditional Teflon coatings. Understanding PTFE and Its Implications: Non-Stick Properties: PTFE is well-known for its exceptional non-stick properties and heat resistance, which make it popular in cookware. It allows for low-fat cooking and easy food release. Safety Concerns: High Temperatures: While PTFE is generally considered safe for normal cooking temperatures, it can start to degrade and release fumes when overheated above approximately 500°F (260°C). These fumes can cause polymer fume fever, a temporary flu-like condition in humans, and can be fatal to birds. PFOA: Historically, the production of PTFE involved perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), a type of PFAS that has been linked to several health issues. Most manufacturers now produce PTFE without PFOA, but concerns about other PFAS chemicals possibly used in or resulting from the manufacturing process remain for some consumers. PFAS Concerns: While PTFE itself is not a PFAS, the manufacturing process previously used PFOA. Modern "PFOA-free" labels indicate that PFOA is not used in the manufacturing process anymore. However, this does not address all PFAS, which is a broad class of chemicals. If you are trying to avoid all PFAS, it's essential to verify the specific substances used in and potentially released from the product. Recommendations for Use and Alternatives: Careful Usage: If you choose to use PTFE-coated cookware, ensure not to overheat it. Keep cooking temperatures moderate, especially when the pan is empty, to avoid the degradation of the coating. Ventilation: Use adequate ventilation when cooking with PTFE-coated pans to minimize inhalation of any potential fumes. Alternative Cookware: If you're concerned about chemical exposure and prefer completely PFAS-free options, consider alternatives like: Ceramic Coated Pans: These are often marketed as free of PTFE and PFOA and provide a non-stick surface without the use of traditional non-stick chemicals. Cast Iron: When well-seasoned, cast iron offers a natural non-stick surface and is devoid of synthetic coatings. Stainless Steel: While not non-stick, stainless steel is durable and free from chemical coatings, making it a safe option for various cooking tasks. By understanding the specifics of the materials used in your cookware and their properties, you can make more informed decisions that align with your health and safety priorities.

    Well, I bought such pan few days ago. I fried some mushrooms in butter first, then I tried eggs with no grease whatsoever. They did stick to the pan partially and ended up messed up.
  • @allisonmerz2251
    I've had the pan for over a month, have cooked at least a couple dozen eggs in it WITH oil and they still stick. Would love to see if there is some special magic trick for cooking eggs in this pan.
  • @MrCougar214
    Not a fail. You set the temp too high! You had that damn thing on nearly 8! Cook eggs at a temp of around 5, or medium, heat!
  • @panda55c
    Read the instructions before using it bro!
