How is it? I don't buy it; it's too expensive. The design is also very outdated. Even if I were offered to buy that product for a third of the current selling price, I still wouldn't buy it. Nowadays, our pot videos are getting a lot of views, which is great. Many people are curious in the comments about which pots they should buy. There are so many types of pots in the market, like Saladmaster, BRK, and AMT. Since you've been a kitchen expert for a long time, I'm curious about your thoughts. It seems like there are some comments coming in, right? As for the material used in Saladmaster, I believe it's made of higher-end materials like 316 or 316 Ti. Personally, I know that Saladmaster is a direct sales product and an American brand, but I’m not sure about that part. The price is quite high.

It's expensive. So, regardless of the sales method, the material is good, but it's too pricey. The design is also very outdated. Even if I were to buy that product at the current selling price, I wouldn't. That's how far I would go; I just won't buy it. That's my personal preference. When I look at pots, the first thing I check is the specifications. Specifications are important, and then I look at the design and functionality. After that, I consider whether the company has expertise and if I can trust the product. The thing is, as you know, stainless steel has various materials and sometimes different production origins. We know brands like BRK or Wüsthof, and there are many imported brands as well. Domestic brands also have a range of stainless steel pots. But what's important is to know where the original source is; that needs to be clear.

You need to specify the labeling, and then the important thing is what the material is. The material also has a price difference. As I mentioned earlier, there is a price difference between 316 and 304 stainless steel, as well as differences in construction costs. Furthermore, although we do not produce it in our country, there are many stainless steels produced in China and other countries. Therefore, once this stainless steel is polished and processed, it becomes impossible to determine what the material is. I can't do it either. That’s why it’s important to choose a reliable brand. However, I believe that the specifications are very important; I look at the thickness, handle design, functionality, and such before making a purchase. In the past, there were many excellent products from Japan and Germany, and it is true that German brands have been quite popular. However, as many of you may know, most products are now made in China. This doesn't mean that China is bad; it’s not that simple.

Can we clearly identify the material produced in China? Personally, I find it a bit hard to trust. I wonder if they used 304, 316, or 220 stainless steel. In the past, manufacturers from Germany or Japan were really reliable, but recently, with production moving to China or Vietnam, I can't trust the material specifications. That's why I've been preferring domestic products lately. As I mentioned in a previous video, there are many manufacturers that purchase directly from POSCO to produce their items, like Hanil, Chef, and Sesin. If you look for them, you'll find some good manufacturing plants in Korea. However, I do feel disappointed with the design aspect. As you mentioned earlier about fatigue, on Naver...

The prices are the lowest, but I feel a bit disappointed with the design aspects, such as the handles. The price is decent, but when it comes to pots, as I mentioned in the video, once you buy one, it's not just for one or two years. Some people may use them for a lifetime, and they will use them until they get tired of them. So, you can't ignore the design. While specifications are important, I advise you to pay attention to the design as well. The quality is really good, and I think the Chef-in brand is quite nice. The latest models are good, and Hanil products are also good, but I feel they could improve a bit in terms of design. If the design were upgraded, I would say the price is good, but I'm a bit disappointed with the design. On the other hand, the design of the Wüsthof products is really good. I acknowledge that; when you see them in department stores, the design is really beautiful.

Looking at it this way, there are many braising products, such as impact pots with a flat bottom. These products can be good for induction or highlight cooktops, but for gas cooking, solid cast products are actually the best. In our country, cooking over gas has its advantages, especially for things like making broth or dishes that need to be simmered for a long time; gas can be better in those cases. As for highlight cookware, in Korea, solid multi-layer products with a thickness of about 2.5mm or more are considered good. In the case of self-heating products, they use specs of around 3.5mm, and if you use something like that, it's really great. However, I also think that being too heavy isn't necessarily good. I believe that as long as the thickness is over 2.5mm, it's acceptable. Regarding the lid...

I mentioned earlier that around 1.2 tons would be good. You've talked for about 20 minutes now, and the questions from those who commented were about this. So, what do you think about Saladmaster? Personally, I don’t buy it; I use aluminum pots and don’t use Saladmaster. How about BRK AMT? I believe it's a German brand, but I wouldn't recommend it. The price is low, but as I mentioned earlier, the handles and some parts are a bit weak, so I’m not fond of it and probably wouldn’t buy it. As for the AMT brand, those who know it are aware that it's made by Dongwon. Since it’s a chef brand, I like AMT pots. I want to say that the products are good; however, I can't confirm right now whether the prices are expensive or not, so simply put, the products are reliable.

Is Dongwon the name of a factory? Yes, it is Dongwon Metal, a manufacturing plant located in Namdong, Incheon. So, in conclusion, I wouldn't recommend Salad Master or BRK in terms of price-to-value ratio, but AMT Chef is quite good. As I mentioned earlier, Hanil Stainless also has manufacturing plants like Kinsense. There are companies that use this brand for royalties, and their products are affordable and decent. However, as I mentioned earlier, there are some aspects of the handles or design that might not be to your liking, but in terms of price, it's reasonable since Hanil is selling at a low cost. I understand.
