He's using $800 cookware because he read (presumably on Facebook) that teflon is poison that leeches into your food when you use non-stick pans.
He seems to think MultiClad (a Cuisinart brand) is some designation that is better than All Clad and is falling for the marketing that the more layers of steel in the bottom of a pan means it's better. Says it's the best cookware set, immediately after unboxing, before ever using it. Shill. Good thing he never cooks off camera, stainless steel sticks really well if you don't know what you're doing.
Not sure if he's getting this free or not, he says he called them up and wanted to "bring your cookware onto the show" which kinda insinuates he got it free. Then says he might keep it permanently after a year.
Brand new $800 cookware, first dish Jack makes in it? Frozen chicken thighs with salt, pepper, garlic and powdered chili peppers.
I have no fucking idea why it looks like that, those are the only ingredients he said he added. He mentioned "mushroom flavor" at the end so I guess he added some cream of mushroom.
Doesn't show clean up, doesn't show if the chicken stuck. He coulda cooked this in a foil lined ceramic bowl for all we know.
God damn that's a lot of food for 3 people. I counted about 12 chicken thighs.
Bonus footage. Enjoy Jack's dead arm dragging across the box:
