Pots and pans

Pots and pans: how do you choose quality pots?

Of all the cooking utensils, pots and pans are undoubtedly one of the most essential tools in the kitchen. For this reason it is important to choose quality pots and pans, which upgrade the cooking experience and affect the quality, taste and health of the food. To be sure that these are indeed quality pots, it is recommended to pay attention to some important details before ordering them.

3 important factors in choosing pots

1. The raw materials: the material from which the pot is made has a great influence on its quality. For example, good pots made of stainless steel excel in durability and ease of cleaning. In contrast, aluminum pots are lighter and allow for quick heating.
2. The thickness of the sides and the base: the thickness of the pots and pans directly affects the distribution of heat. Pots and pans with thick sides provide uniform heating and prevent the food from burning, which ensures better cooking results. Therefore, it is recommended to prefer multi-layer aluminum pots, or stainless steel pots with a bottom that has several layers and durable and strong coatings that prevent the food from sticking.
3. Type of coating: high-quality non-stick coating prevents the food from sticking to the bottom and allows cooking without oil. However, in case a very high fire is needed, it is advisable to use a pot without coating. For example, in wok pans we prefer fewer layers and coatings.
