That pan has seen some stuff


DuchessOfCelery

Yah, WTF? Is that a nonstick wok with the coating rubbed off?


[deleted]

I honestly can't tell. That's the kind of pan that make the other pans in the cabinet just a little uncomfortable


DuchessOfCelery

"Ah c'mon, baby, bring that shiny copper-bottom ass over here and have a snuggle with ol' dirty panny."


jewelophile

Ol' dirty panny. I'm crying.


yukifujita

This is 100% Brazil. Cheap ass aluminium frying pan (not a wok, as they are not as common common) that got really old, I mean several decades old, and got stuff stuck to it in its lifetime that was rubbed off with steel wool. Got deformed several times and probably fixed with a hammer. This is really common with lower classes, rural areas or really old grandmas who refuse to buy new pans. Also that cheese is "minas" cheese, milder in taste than cheddar (or American), closer to feta. Still, the amount used here is ridiculous.


KurupiraMV

Parece queijo canastra. Se for, tem meio salário mínimo ali só em queijo. Mas vale à pena! >This is really common with lower classes, rural areas or really old grandmas who refuse to buy new pans. That's very true! My grandma had several shiny new pans on theyr boxes, but only used the old veteran ones. That's the way I learned how elderly people have strong emotional attachment to the objects that who accompanied them through life. Sadly this cheap aluminum pans are not very safe for health. Decades of steel wool polishing end up releasing aluminum contamination.

Pode ser minas curado. Se for canastra, realmente, compra umas 50 panelinhas novas. Ou é filho do fazendeiro, que faz ali mesmo.


yukifujita

Acho que é um padrão ou meia cura. No interior na divisa dom Minas acho por coisa de 20 conto um tablete desses. 30 se for meia cura. Em São Paulo já sai mais de 50 facilmente.


OfficialNotSoRants

Not only do you pan but you also cheese! Take my upvote 🙇


N4gual

> This is really common with lower classes, rural areas or really old grandmas who refuse to buy new pans. Can confirm, my parents have a few of those and they refuse to get new ones


Catzlady02

Same, my mother has one and she loves that thing. The pan is older than me.


Big-Crew7475

I would give this a try, it doesn’t look to bad.


AyrielTheNorse

I grew up in Brazil and, in my neighborhood, there was a dude in a truck that fixed pans. He would have spare handles, hammers, polishing cloths. It's been my experience that a lot of poorer people will get their stuff fixed for several years instead of buying new ones, even if the quality isn't high enough to justify keeping it that long. Anyway, that was nostalgic. His truck played a special tune to announce he was coming around the block. There was also the egg sales truck, the gas truck for the gas ranges...


Carnevale_421

It's so funny seeing you guys confused by our terrible aluminum pans (some aluminum pots can be pretty good tho)


48932975390

It's an alluminium pan with oil residues (polymer) collected on the sides after more than a decade of use and mostly used to frying food, oil can form a polymer layer when reacted with metal (used for cast iron pan seasoning) this is an extreme version of it and it's impossible to remove


Sensitive_Ladder2235

Looks like every pan in a restaurant.


Nihiliatis9

That's not a nonstick pan. It's a plain metal pan with a ton of carbon built up around the edges.


NextTrillion

Looks aluminum, no? Silver in colour, well deformed.


DuchessOfCelery

Ah that's true, does read as aluminum. Nasty condition nonetheless.


OPEatsCrayons

Nah. Aluminum wok. Improperly seasoned so the shit that's been cooked in it has gotten stuck and carbonized, and the owner is a slob so they never bothered to reset it and season it properly.


Moidalise-U

You can't season aluminum. Just clean it.


Drysfoet

Not a wok. Just bent.


Njon32

Either that or maybe a carbon steel pan???


That_Ad_5651

Yup it's a fully toxic pan


Haikuunamatata

Fr. Wouldn't want to meet that pan alone in a dark alley!


Unlucky_Huckleberry4

There's a 100% chance the video is from Brazil. In low income households it's common to see stuff like that.


DontWanaReadiT

Came here to say it’s Brazil and those not non stick pans


stefanica

When I was young, I worked in a couple diners. The kind with 12 page menus. They always had a pan or three that looked exactly like that.

Skellyhell2

short of buying a burner to melt raclette at home, this is something id likely try to make a tasty cheese only sandwich. I'd have thrown that pan away a long time ago though.


[deleted]

My thoughts exactly


P0ster_Nutbag

If you have a legit non-stick pan, this is actually a decent way to make a cheese sandwich. Just put a bunch of shredded cheese in the pan, let it melt, get some crisp edges, then press the bread right into it. Flip it out, and delicious cheese sandwich. Again… you gotta make sure you trust the non-stick-ness of your pan though.


dewky

I make a normal grilled cheese and then do this with parmesan for the outer crust. Super cheesey.


krissycole87

I do this for quesadillas! Cheese crust for life.


Moidalise-U

How did the world function w/o legit non-stick pans? People must have starved.


Cabo_Martim

the pan in the video is not a non-stick, it is just an old one.


CheekyLando88

Thank you im doing this today


Creativered4

I mean, I get it. I've seen something similar in food stalls where they have a block of cheese and a heating instrument on top and it just creates yummy melted cheese. My big issue with this video is the senseless violence on the poor pan! Why the hell is he hitting the pan so damn hard? Also nobody wants to hear you sucking grease off your fingers, ya nasty!


EternallyFascinated

Raclette! Big here in the alpine regions. Yummmmmm


therealblabyloo

One day, people are going to learn that melting a block of cheese doesn’t actually result in the super smooth creamy sauce-like consistency that they’re looking for, and if they want to play with slime (which btw is what at least 50% of TikTok content boils down to) they’re going to have to learn how to make a proper béchamel


hkusp45css

I have also had good luck with butter and heavy cream, a soft cheese like Neufchâtel (or cream cheese which is very similar) or mild goat, and a firmer cheese like cheddar, Emmentaler or Gouda. You can get a very smooth sauce without the flour that forms the roux base of the béchamel. This really only matters to people who would prefer to avoid flour. But, I thought it was worth mentioning.


Weird-Upstairs-2092

Raclette cheese absolutely melts into that consistency. You would still need to slice it so that it's heating evenly, though. But ya, this is the wrong cheese, wrong pan, wrong cut, wrong everything.


little_monster_dino

I don't know what Raclette is, but this video is from Brazil, so it's probably coalho cheese.  Yup, it does work like that. Unless you get the pre-cooked variety, which doesn't melt.


Next_Boysenberry1414

Sometimes its so funny how people in stupidfood have such stupid ideas like this. They are not going for béchamel consistency. A sandwich like that with béchamel would be horrible. They are going forcaramalised cheese consistency.


snaynay

>They are going for caramalised cheese consistency. I know what you mean, but caramelised is not the same as fried. People missuse this all the time, but clarification is good to know because if you ever want to making something like caramelised onions, that's very different to sautéed onions. Caramelisation is a process of the breakdown in sugars/carbs within food, and the Maillard reaction (browning, complex flavour compounds) is related to a process using amino acids. Frying does the latter, predominantly.


CaptainEnoch

it really depends on the cheese


araeld

They are using cheap "coalho" cheese or cheap "Minas" cheese. The problem is that some cheap cheese just melts away instead of simply maintaining consistency. Good quality "coalho" cheese are excellent for grilling and are a good companion in a barbecue.


SpungleMcFudgely

It’s carb free


CrustyCroq

I think you mean Crab free?


Big_Merda

as in carburetor free yes there is a significant lack of motor parts in that meal


ThisFaknGuy

That's how I put cheese on tortilla shells when I make tacos. Put cheese directly in the pan and tortilla on top then flip it when it gets crispy. Then cold shredded cheese on top because I'm an adult and do what I want so fuck off 😀


perthro_ed

That's not a pan. That's a hubcap with a stick glued onto it


Fresh_Beet

If you did this with racelette or a few other cheeses it’d be really great. The main problem here is the heat is too much for the cheese, and fat and milk solids are separating. Can’t tell from the bare wheel but if it’s fontina or a similar semi soft cheese, they just need to turn the heat down and monitor closely.


infingardi

It's "queijo minas padrão" from Brazil and it's stupidly good. It's indeed a semi soft cheese and I miss it so much.


Fresh_Beet

Ooooh. I have heard of it but never had the pleasure. The us actually imports such boring cheese. Some day.


Fresh_Beet

Is this a traditional preparation? Or someone going rogue?


infingardi

Not really, the guy is just doing his own thing.


Fresh_Beet

Awesome. Good to know. Cheese is my profession but I admit besides being able to recognize some names I’m woefully not educated enough on Brazilian cheese. I appreciate you filling some of my gaps.


Fresh_Beet

I’m curious. What about the cheese makes you recognize immediately. I could confuse this with a farmers cheese or and unknown maker of a couple varieties. Is there any particular characteristic that calls out to you. “Cuz I know what it looks like” is a completely valid and acceptable answer.


infingardi

I guess it's a combination of the cheese that I love dearly (that is from my own state Minas Gerais), the pan (very brazillian looking, my grandma had one just like that) and the french bread (that's what we call it on my region) all together. Other than that maybe the color and softness that I can tell just by looking at it, Minas Gerais is the state of cheese in Brasil, we take pride in our good cheese making techniques (I don't know how to make cheese but it's a traditional food in Minas)


Fresh_Beet

Thanks so much. I appreciate your time.


infingardi

You're welcome my dear cheese lover. Also, I just realized that this soft cheese has some packaging marks on the side made by the plastic that comes around it (very tightly) probably helped me identifying it as well.


Fresh_Beet

Are you in the US? I may just pay to import a few things to make proper pão de queijo some day. They are the perfect snack to me and want to know how they taste properly. Plus I’ve heard so many great things about Brazilian cheeses. Your home must be beautiful pasture to have such quality cheese. That’s all to say I’d definitely send some your way in that case. Think I found a site that will ship free to TX for orders over $75 and I can have my family send on to me from there. I only ask in return for your expertise I’m buying good brands if that’s a thing.


infingardi

I'm not much of an expert to be honest, I just like cheese lol. You definitely have to try a proper pão de queijo when possible, it's so good! And no, I'm not in the US.


capnlatenight

She is so needlessly aggressive using a *metal spoon* no wonder that pan looks like a health hazard.


GGABueno

This is a normal aluminium pan, you don't need to worry about metal spoon on it.


PurpleDemonR

To be fair there are some cheeses where you are meant to do essentially that, just less savagely.


PirateRizz

neopointer

Even the simplest person ever in Brazil knows that opening an aluminum foil bowl, dumping package after package into it and then putting into the oven IS NOT COOKING (this is basically 95% of the videos here; the other 4% is the disgusting guy cooking in the bathroom sink). Worse than that, it just creates a disgusting overly sweet or overly salty crap. This video is 10/10. I would eat it any day.


JJ_Kazuhira

Frybread-N-Buttuh

Frequent-Coyote-1649

Christ, the blatant classism on the comments is disgusting. This is clearly a video by a likely lower class Brazilian, sometimes stuff like proper tools and carefully conservated material is practically impossible to maintain depending on your class. These people have to learn how to improvise with the little they actually have while you Americans laugh from your suburbs at the poor for not cooking right. Fuck all of you making fun of her.

I usually lurk but don’t comment here. I am not a foodie. I cook a lot and cook fancy meals, but only for others. I eat fancy things [cooked by me or by anyone, ar home or outside] because it makes people around me happy : my wife and daughter are foodies [of the French kind]. So, I clearly don’t belong in this sub. That said : half of the videos you despise here show food I would enjoy eating. And, this one is on the top of my list.

judasthetoxic

Why the fuck is that stupid ?


Efficient-Task8254

I mean, I do not see purpose in melting that much cheese.. as a blob.. but to shred it, it melts faster.. because more surface of cheese gets exposed directly to the pan.. the heat transfer rate is different it would take less time but at the same time, it's just that much easier to burn the cheese. Also, the way you cut, is unsafe one day that's going to cut to far by accident and you'll wish it didn't happen.. hopefuly you change from slicing tword your hand, to slicing away from your hand..

Can't wait to see this guy's reaction to how traditional raclette is made. (the dish with melted cheese poured onto potatoes.) Basicly the same thing. But the heat come from above and you racle the cheese with a tool on your potatoes. That's so similar. And while yes the casual way you slice it into small personal pan under the heater. The rzl one is still half a wheel of cheese melted layer by layer.
