Ming Tsai Cookware?

Icegoddess — Fri, 27 Jan 2017 19:48:42 GMT

Has anybody used Chef Ming Tsai's Platinum Ceramic or new Diamond Platinum cookware? Just wondering how it stacks up. I'm intrigued, but It seems rather pricey.

I have. Not the brand new one. I ordered the large square one and liked it so much I bought a set. So far so good. Have only had them a few months. They clean up well!

He had a big deep fryer that looked great. His stuff isn't cheap, true.

Is that the annoying cook on PBS? Not a fab of his dishes or his presentations.

I have no idea if he's on PBS or not; however, whether he is annoying or not has no bearing on whether he has good cookware or not. I have his Air Fryer and like it a lot although it's not as easy to clean as advertised. Can't get the baked on grease off and it's probably more noticeable becaue the coating is copper colored vs black.

Ice goddess try cleaning it with a paste made from baking soda and hydrogen peroxide. Just rub it gently so you don't scratch it. Works like a charm for me.

I know Alton is on The Food Network. Didn't know he was on PBS.

Alton Browns "Good Eats" is too silly for me and his humor is juvenile. I turn the channel if I see him on the air.

@Icegoddess I don't know if this is helpful but I have Ming's original version of his wok and cannot say enough good things about it. Cooks great and cleans like a breeze. I was lucky to purchase it when they had a great sale so the price was very good too. I like the new hammered finish on his new pieces, very pretty!

Thanks. Not looking to get a wok; I just don't use them. But, I did just get his induction burner and then discovered none of my cookware will work with it. I'm also considering the Curtis Stone Durapan cookware, but the Ming stuff is so much prettier. I know, it's cookware, and I should consider form over function. But, if I can get both......

Ah now here I can help you @Icegoddess as I have the latest TS set of Curtis Stone pans and love them! Again, cook like a dream and clean up is incredibly easy. There are a couple of very complimentary threads if you have time to do a quick search, lots of good, hands on reviews.

I love my Ming pans.The colors are vibrant and nothing sticks.The pan has to be warm before you put meat or fish.
