How to choose a pot

Before you go for the dishes, you need to prepare for this. An experienced housewife told Healthy Food Near Me how to choose the best pot for your kitchen Larisa Dementieva. She suggests taking into account details and circumstances.

Materials

Pots are made from different materials – stainless steel, cast iron, glass, ceramics, aluminum and copper. Each has its own characteristics. First decide what you need. In stainless steel pans you can cook any dishes, they are very durable and do not affect the beneficial properties of the products. True, such dishes cannot be cleaned with hard and metal brushes – traces remain. Plus, not always the models are really “stainless”.

Cast iron pans Suitable for those who are going to fry, stew and bake dishes. Product material is non-stick. Such models are heavy, they are uncomfortable to wear. If such dishes are not enameled, they can be put in the oven.

Enamelled pots inexpensive and heat up quickly. Enamel protects the metal base of the pan from the active substances contained in food. True, such pans are chipped when falling and from impacts, even the places of chips rust and release harmful substances into food.

Heat-resistant glass pans withstand high temperatures, but they need to be heated evenly: gas stove burners must be with a fire divider. A glass pan must be placed in a cold oven and only then turn on the heat, otherwise the glass may burst.

Aluminum pans versatile – they can be boiled, fried and steamed. In such dishes it is better not to cook sour dishes.

Ceramic pots Suitable for dishes that need to be baked in the oven.

copper pots expensive. But they store dishes better and stand out for their reliability. In such dishes, it is also undesirable to cook vegetables and fruits, as well as sour dishes.

Covers

Allocate glass and steel. First, you can watch the cooking process. It is important that they have good steam throughput, otherwise nothing will be visible. The latter are more reliable. Some lids are equipped with a funnel through which you can add ingredients during cooking. There are also modern models with temperature sensors that help control the process. Make sure that the handles on the lids do not get hot, so that it is convenient to remove them.

Покрытие

An important detail. Choose a pan with a special non-stick coating on the bottom. Its task is to make the pan smooth. In models with this coating, you can add less vegetable oil. Food in quality dishes should not stick to the surface.

Pens

They are made of silicone, bakelite, or the material from which the dishes themselves are made. It is important that they do not get hot. Cast handles in cast iron and enameled metal pans cannot boast of such. At the same time, plastic, silicone handles should not fall into the fire. If the handles are riveted, then they can loosen faster. Spot welding is a more reliable option, but this is not a significant difference. There are removable handles for easy cleaning.

Bottom and walls

The standard thickness of the bottom of the pan is from 1,9 to 8 mm. There are pans with a multilayer bottom. Such products heat up faster, this contributes to the fact that the dishes will be cooked in a shorter time and the food will be heated evenly. Multi-layer pans cool down slowly, so food stays warm longer. In the encapsulated bottom, all layers are visible, in the fused model, only the steel sheet is visible. The situation is the same with the walls of the pan – they vary from 0,4 to 5 mm. The thicker, the longer the dish will stay warm.

Plates

Before buying, decide on which stove you will cook on. On gas stoves, you can put any pots with a flat bottom. It is undesirable to put glassware on electric ones. Glass-ceramic hobs transfer heat better to flat-bottomed pans when the pan is as close to the surface as possible. For an induction cooker, you will need a pan with a bottom with a special magnetic plate. This is now in many, this moment should be indicated in the description.

Volume

Depends on what you are going to cook. For the preparation of pickles, compotes, large portions of soups and other things, there are more voluminous dishes – up to 18, up to 20 liters. There are pots for roasting or stewing vegetables. There are models with a small volume – for light and small portions.
