There are endless disputes when it comes to which cookware sets are the finest and the best for cooking without neglecting the health benefits accorded to people. With the plethora of options or brands and its composition in the market, picking the right one becomes harder for people to decide especially if you have no idea of its difference.
Searching around the net will expose you to various attractive brands and makes such as Titanium cookware, enameled cookware, non-stick, and stainless steel pots and pans each with its corresponding advantages. However, stainless steel pots and pans give cooks, chefs, hobbyist, or anyone a multitude of selections therefore a lot of choices may be made.
Here are some of the features of quality stainless steel cooking sets:
1. The main components of stainless steel are nickel and chromium. If you want to ensure durability make sure that your set is made of higher nickel contents, although most cooks are satisfied with the 18/8 or 18/10 ratio.
2. Stainless steel alone is not a good conductor of heat but by adding other materials at the base of the pan like copper allows quicker heating and cooling. Aluminum on the other hand, may take longer to heat up but retains heat longer. Copper is best use in gas range while aluminum is perfect for electric stoves.
3. Copper or Aluminum disc added to the base may vary in thickness. Three inches thickness in aluminum is good enough but with 5 inches thickness is considered excellent. Copper may come in 1 inch which is sufficient enough but with 2 inches base thickness it is considered of great excellence. Apparently, the thickness may also vary in price this is done so that consumers may have options depending on the size of their pockets.
4. A tri-ply base is also available when stainless steel is added together with copper or aluminum which may result to a shinier outer appearance and more durable.
5. There is also what you call clad-pans which have extended base up to the sides of the pan which contributes to a better heat conduction throughout the entire cooking pot and not just at the bottom of the base.
High-grade stainless steel is the most friendly, the most healthy, efficient, and care-free cookware sets today. It has the eye for beauty and versatility.
