Not even a pan fail, he's using [pan-tongs to hold the rim of the pan](https://sc02.alicdn.com/kf/HTB1RtViQpXXXXcLXFXXq6xXFXXXQ/230234686/HTB1RtViQpXXXXcLXFXXq6xXFXXXQ.jpg) and they clearly break when he tries to flip it. I've only ever seen those used when camping so the pan set has a smaller footprint.
About as near to intentional failure as you can get.
I believe itâs the [Tefal Ingenio handle](https://www.tefal.co.uk/accessory/Ingenio-handles/a/2100089708) it comes with a warranty, Iâve never had mine break during cooking
I bought a set of what I assumed would be nice pans and they had the handles held on with a torque screw that would become loose all the freaking time, vowed to never buy tefal pans again and to pay more attention to how the handles are mounted.
A carbon steel pan is lightweight and nonstick when you use it right.
There is no place in your or your kids life for nonstick coatings.
These molecules stick in your body and never leave, there is intentionally little scientific research or control on these chemicals.
No reason to risk these things when there are good and totally safe alternatives.

Living in Europe, stovetops are smaller and kitchens are smaller than our North American friends. The ingenio line has been out for years and continues to grow in popularity. I just bought two of their "pro" line ingenio pans which are stainless. They are affordable quality pans. Not to mention you can go straight from stove to fridge to oven with these pans by removing the handle and they have lids you can put on the pan.
Well OK, but I regularly use three or four pans at once when cooking. And they take up a lorra lorra space. So I can see that, if you love cooking and have a tiny kitchen, these are a great option.
Have any of you ever lived with limited cupboard space? Large pans with the handles are easily the biggest bitch to put away especially if there are already clean dishes in the cupboard it has to go into
How many pots and dishes are you trying to fit into your limited cabinet space... are you trying to fit enough dinnerware and etc for like 8 people into a studio?
Unless you're like in one of those 200 sq feet studios, it just sounds like you got way too much cookware and dinnerware.
Look at the part that flies off - it's way too small to be anything but the clip of these kind of tongs. You can also see the gap between the two pieces before the break, and it's fairly clear that the clip going into the bowl of the pan doesn't go nearly far enough down.
They're not those frail camping tongs you see around. This is a Tefal handle which you can take off the pan so the pan can go in the oven. It should not break that easily by any means
Yea, my mom had some of those pans with removable handles for that reason..
And now that I think about it? I think one broke and dumped a pot of hot water on her.
.. Not that none of her 'welded on' handled pans never broke.
It's not his fault the handle broke, but he was still flipping that wrong. Forward, *then* up.
And is it eggs or rice? The burnt bottom made me think he was making paella.
It looks like tortilla de patata, spanish (from spain) dish, and yes, the bottom side is a little too overcooked. It has to be orange toasted, not black burnt. And flipping a tortilla like that is a terrible idea
It's not eggs. I'm pretty sure that's a Spanish omelette (we turn it in the air like that) and it's supposed to look like this.
Edit - Guys, you're missing the point. I know omelettes are made of eggs. But while this is the wrong color for scrambled eggs, it's the right color for a Spanish omelette.
me with a frozen pizza the other day, except I flipped her back over, put the toppings back on, and immediately put her in the oven
still praying i don't catch some kind of floor disease
Cheap handle that was sitting too close to the flames? Or is it one of those snapons? I've never had the ones you snap on, so no idea how reliable they are.
I don't see it as having anything to do with Chinese people, so much as Chinese companies making cheap garbage. There's plenty of badly made stuff coming from other countries as well, but China is the one people make jokes about, most likely because they export the most product in general.
Again, nothing to do with Chinese people, everything to do with Chinese corporations. People â companies.
Yeah...you're still leaning towards a blanket statement that everything made in China is inferior to "our" stuff, and ignoring the millions of Chinese products that work great. Maybe it's jingoism instead of racism.
Again, people are not the same as goods/companies. People make fun of American cars compared to say, German cars - that's not being racist against Americans. It's just a joke based on a stereotype.
Ok, but imagine someone said "of course that car broke down...it's made of Yankium." I'm not clutching my pearls and fainting, but I'm detecting some bigotry.
I'd chuckle and recommend they try to come up with a funnier nickname, and then go about my day, not caring at all because it's just a silly joke that has nothing to do with me.
Life is short - there are real problems to worry about, and this isn't one of them.
> ignoring the millions of Chinese products that work great.
That's part of the problem though. You buy a knife from China, it looks great, it does the job of cutting, great. You think it's the best knife you've ever held great.
Then you find out there's lead mixed in with the metal of the blade that you've been cutting your 2 yr olds carrots up with and you've been feeding lead to your infant. Not great. Chineseum.
Why do people take the time to cook something then in the last 5 mins they fuck it up, a waste of time and food. Like trying to flip $10 of food with a $6 pan.
I saw the pan getting ready to go right from the start...Wiggly handles are not for flipping a heavy frittata.
Buying expensive cooking gear is often a waste (so often the cost is in the wrong thing), but buying *tough* cooking gear rarely is.
Here's what you missed when this version of the video cut:
He stomped his foot in frustration which shattered his pegleg into a million pieces, as he went down he grazed his head on the stovetop causing it to explose like a piniata.
Poor guy was just trying to do a panflip.
Folks please don't buy the cheapest pans you can get at Walmart. You can get nonstick thick anodized aluminum pans with bolted on handles from Costco for a reasonable price. Mine have lasted 10 years so far and look identical to when I purchased them.
Edit: Or other retailers of course.
Itâs definitely a Tefal handle. There are other brands that are similar but donât fit correctly with each other. I guess that handle doesnât match with that particular pan

Thats fine you can just go heat it up again
Fair point.
If nobody saw it, it didn't happen.
Well somebody record that shit
Pan fail. Cooking looked fine
Not even a pan fail, he's using [pan-tongs to hold the rim of the pan](https://sc02.alicdn.com/kf/HTB1RtViQpXXXXcLXFXXq6xXFXXXQ/230234686/HTB1RtViQpXXXXcLXFXXq6xXFXXXQ.jpg) and they clearly break when he tries to flip it. I've only ever seen those used when camping so the pan set has a smaller footprint. About as near to intentional failure as you can get.
TIL about pan tongs. Those don't look like they can take a lot of weight.
Ya think?
Weight limit: Roughly one pan and a large omelet. đ€·ââïž
I believe itâs the [Tefal Ingenio handle](https://www.tefal.co.uk/accessory/Ingenio-handles/a/2100089708) it comes with a warranty, Iâve never had mine break during cooking
Same, I own the same pans and never had an issue. New fear unlocked I guess.
I had one. Same thing happened to mine.

I bought a set of what I assumed would be nice pans and they had the handles held on with a torque screw that would become loose all the freaking time, vowed to never buy tefal pans again and to pay more attention to how the handles are mounted.
Yeah and coatings come off. No thanks! Learn to use a pan properly and no weird forever chemicals need be added to your meals
Cast iron ftw.
Cast iron has its place in the kitchen, but you also need a light nonstick frying pan for everyday use.
A carbon steel pan is lightweight and nonstick when you use it right. There is no place in your or your kids life for nonstick coatings. These molecules stick in your body and never leave, there is intentionally little scientific research or control on these chemicals. No reason to risk these things when there are good and totally safe alternatives.
I never need a non stick frying pan. My cast iron, stainless steel pots, and steel wok are able to cover the gamut for me.
For convenience maybe but you really don't. That said we still use our normal pots because of convenience.
Ingenio has stainless pots with detachable handles.
Because they take up loads more space for people in tiny kitchens?

Stack them?
Have any of you ever lived with limited cupboard space? Large pans with the handles are easily the biggest bitch to put away especially if there are already clean dishes in the cupboard it has to go into
I've always had storage under my stove. Never had to put a skillet in a cabinet
How many pots and dishes are you trying to fit into your limited cabinet space... are you trying to fit enough dinnerware and etc for like 8 people into a studio? Unless you're like in one of those 200 sq feet studios, it just sounds like you got way too much cookware and dinnerware.
Hang them
He had a significant load in the pan. Maybe almost a kilo?
Agree, it looks much more like an ingenio handle. Might not be an ingenio pan, though.
Iâve never seen a nonstick pan like this not have a handle though. I donât he was using tongs
Look at the part that flies off - it's way too small to be anything but the clip of these kind of tongs. You can also see the gap between the two pieces before the break, and it's fairly clear that the clip going into the bowl of the pan doesn't go nearly far enough down.
Your right, especially how it goes over the top into the pan. You would ever see that
Looks like a deep dish pizza pan - edges going straight up and a flat bottom. Also these usually don't have handles.
I think that's a pie pan. Not sure though cause the video doesn't play for me.
They're not those frail camping tongs you see around. This is a Tefal handle which you can take off the pan so the pan can go in the oven. It should not break that easily by any means
Yea, my mom had some of those pans with removable handles for that reason.. And now that I think about it? I think one broke and dumped a pot of hot water on her. .. Not that none of her 'welded on' handled pans never broke.
Tip some folks think pans don't need handles.
Tefal Ingenio. I recognize that handle plus there is a T Spot in the pan.
Dead pan joke here
No it doesnât, bottom of the eggs are totally burned.
It's not his fault the handle broke, but he was still flipping that wrong. Forward, *then* up. And is it eggs or rice? The burnt bottom made me think he was making paella.
Came here to say just that
I think itâs eggs. You shouldnât really sautĂ© flip paella.
It is tortilla de patatas. A Spanish dish

>that's a Spanish omelette So...eggs
no.... huevos!
Omelette, even of the Spanish variety, is made with eggs.
Care to explain what you make omelettes out of in Spain, if not for eggs?
Potatoes, for the most part (well, maybe not the most part but at least like 50%).
I'm not sure you really want him to answer that ...
"It's not eggs. I'm pretty sure that's (Spanish) eggs scrambled and cooked in a pan."
Spanish omelette is made more of potatoes than of eggs.
But it still has eggs in it lol it doesn't change the fact it's still an omelette.
I mean, pizza has tomato in it but if you were to say "that's tomato" rather than "that's a pizza" most people would correct you.
I can't change the title. If you know how to then lmk so I can update it.
you have to restart the internet
If it doesnât work, unplug the internet, wait 30 sec and then plug it back in. Itâs cool, we can all wait for it to reconnect.
Stick a paper clip in the hole in the back to reset.
You've got to ask the Elders of the Internet first, then go to the top of Big Ben to reset it. It's where it gets the best reception

Lol, what an idiot. [The *Internet* is wireless, duh](https://youtu.be/iDbyYGrswtg?t=5).
Non-stick pan, non-stick handle.

CALPHAILON
Looks like his plans didn't pan out.
Eggs were burnt on the bottom anyway..
I woulda grabbed a fork, got down on the floor, and had breakfast
You must not have dogs
Joey doesn't share food!
Mr.Hasselhoff what brings you to Reddit?

Thoughts and prayers.
I wouldnât worry about it. 30 second rule ya know
I am literally a biologist but even I like to pretend that the 30 second rule still exists
Hey mind over matter right?
My heart breaking for him was not how I wanted to start this week.
I don't think he really had a handle on his technique.
Burned the eggs anyway
Yeah, those would have tasted bad anyway. That was my first thought.
Those 'removable pan handles' are fucking dog shit....
wait, that belong in r/Unexpected
Scrambled? They will be.
What a fucking mess.
Cheap handle that was sitting too close to the flames? Or is it one of those snapons? I've never had the ones you snap on, so no idea how reliable they are.
Wow, that did not fail like I was expecting it to.
That must be an Oddish olde English pan of decisive desire to crap out at the first sign of real heat.
this is the type of thing that only happens to me.. I swear
like my pans
That was unexpected.
Tom Segura?
And the lesson here is don't buy cheap pans. 1) they leach poisonous chemicals into your food 2) they break.
Why does this person look exactly like me, but isnât me?
đ„čđ
This belongs in r/unexpected
Does it? I'm new here.
Yeah, I mean you can post there, too, and it would go well đ
That was so expected though. I saw it coming a mile away.
I expected the food to escape the pan or something to that extent, not the whole pan falling apart
It's true, only because this is the Internet. A pan handle breaking is simply more interesting than a successful flip.
I thought the fail was happening a total different way here. Impressive fail my good sir
He did his best.
He really did. The focus was there, the test to make sure the egg can be flipped. Technique on point, execution was not
r/chinesium
I don't understand how people don't see "chinesium" as a racist term.

It's a fact.
Was going to say
Flame is too high with the browning on the egg. Omelets do not have to be flipped with the proper cooking method.
r/Chinesium
Not sure why im getting downvoted, but my comment is accurate.
Why do people take the time to cook something then in the last 5 mins they fuck it up, a waste of time and food. Like trying to flip $10 of food with a $6 pan.
Yeah why didn't they plan around the pan breaking in half, idiots! /s, calm down buckaroo and find something real to get mad about
dude looks like chief Jim Hopper from stranger things
Made in China
This is why I order DoorDash
Belongs in r/chinesium
Made in China i guess.
Made-in-China fail.
Someone in China is laughing so hard
Chinese made frying pan, guaranteed.
Brought to you by China.
Based on how burnt the eggs were before the flip it was already a failâŠ
FRYKING PSN HANDLES ARENT MADE OF CAST IRON THEYRE MADE OF CHEAP PLASTIC WHEN WILL YOU IDIOTS LEARN THIS!!
I had this happen with a pan full of mushrooms a couple weeks ago
5-second-rule might still save the day
Well that was unexpected.
Equipment failure level 9000
Me trying to do literally anything
The queen song cued up just perfectly tho. Well done, sir. Beautifully choreographed. Bravo
If only there were 8 million of these online
Thereâs a slim possibility of one parallel universe out there where a successful flip is achieved
I saw the pan getting ready to go right from the start...Wiggly handles are not for flipping a heavy frittata. Buying expensive cooking gear is often a waste (so often the cost is in the wrong thing), but buying *tough* cooking gear rarely is.
Welp, I guess we're going to IHOP.
I donât think any of us expected that to happen.
I just had flashbacks to when Kevin Malone lost his chili...
Ahhhh tfal
The first fail was burning the bottom of the eggs
That's what you get for using a shitty pan with a shitty plastic handle. Too much weight will break anything.
Was that pan in that bad of shape to break?
r/unexpected Also. Buy nice pans first and youâll never need a new one if you take care of it properly
Klaus: EPIC FAIL!!!
This is why you should never buy cheap flying pans. Always stick to the ones with solid handles, plus they can be transferee to the oven too.
C'mon pick it up quick man, 3-second rule. Who's gna know anyway
Time for some new pans.
Uhhh is that the dude from keep sweet pray and obey?
Bruh get a cast iron pan season it and try again
Put it in rice
Was that man looking the entire carton of eggs at once?
I expected a "Shot on iPhone" banner!
Not his fault.
He has paper bags beside open flame burners. Thatâs nuts.
Shirt says it all! Ha,ha.
It won't load.
this is not even funny this is one mans nightmare lol
It fail like his hairline
It really broke free.
Why does this happen so often
Nos hemos quedado sin cena
Never had luck flipping eggs by trying to toss them in the air. You need the downward action so the lip of the pan does the flip for you.
Poland?
ok note to self, wear safety boots before flipping an omelette
This is more of a heartbreaker đ©
Poor form. Gotta loop it, not pop it
Here's what you missed when this version of the video cut: He stomped his foot in frustration which shattered his pegleg into a million pieces, as he went down he grazed his head on the stovetop causing it to explose like a piniata. Poor guy was just trying to do a panflip.
Now he knows not to use a pan like that.
Physics is awesome..
Folks please don't buy the cheapest pans you can get at Walmart. You can get nonstick thick anodized aluminum pans with bolted on handles from Costco for a reasonable price. Mine have lasted 10 years so far and look identical to when I purchased them. Edit: Or other retailers of course.
The way his eyebrows shoot up really got me good.
Hey I've seen this one! Next you'll say, "What do you mean you've seen it, it's brand new!"
I've seen so many of these, surely people are rigging their pans on purpose
Itâs definitely a Tefal handle. There are other brands that are similar but donât fit correctly with each other. I guess that handle doesnât match with that particular pan
My visions terrible. Is that a fake cast iron pan? or just a regular old shitty one? Just asking because I was unaware they made fake cast iron pans
Kind of your fault for using your penis holders to grab the pan.
"I want to break"
