Cookware Buying Guide

Knowing the distinctions and which are best for cooking different dishes is a good idea. So, breaking the notion of good quality cookware being expensive, let us have a look at some tips for buying kitchen cookware.

Check your collection of pots and pans to see what needs to be replaced and what more you need to add. If you decide to get a new cookware set, ensure the components complement your cooking style to avoid collecting pots you won’t use often.
Remember that your new cookware must work with your stove. For a smooth-top range, flat-bottomed, non-warping pans are required. Although gas ranges are a little forgiving, proper contact between the bottom of the pan and the burners is still needed. Likewise, magnetic cookware is required for use on an induction cooktop.
Select cookware material that is suitable for the cooking method. Sautéed foods, for example, benefit from pans that transmit heat quickly, while braised foods require pans that retain heat for long periods. White sauces and tomato sauces, on the other hand, should not be cooked in unlined copper or aluminium cookware because the ingredients react with the metal.

A Guide to Frying Pans

To help you make the right choice, Bash has a few suggestions to keep in mind. The type of pan you purchase should be influenced by what you plan to use it for.

In general, non-stick reacts negatively to high heat; therefore, cook on medium to low heat to protect the coating's life. Always use wooden, plastic, or nylon tools to avoid scratching the surface.
Many professional cooks prefer pans made of stainless steel because they are durable, long-lasting, often lighter in weight than cast iron pans, and fully non-reactive.
Cast iron is a heavy metal that distributes heat evenly. It efficiently transfers heat and retains it for more extended periods. Because of its efficiency, it’s best to be used at medium to low heat. To sear a steak impeccably – give the pan some time to heat up before adding on the meat.
After the pan has cooled down, scrub it using a sponge and a natural abrasive, such as salt. To avoid stains caused by rust, spread a thin layer of cooking oil on the surface, and you can maintain the pan for a considerable amount of time.
