What should you look for in a stainless steel cookware set? Stainless cookware does not react with any food, although individuals who are particularly sensitive to nickel should avoid it. The primary drawback to stainless cookware is that it is not the best heat conductor. So why does heat conduction matter? A single-layer stainless steel cookware set, such as the cheap stockpots sold in supermarkets, will heat unevenly and can result in scorched food unless you micro-manage your stove top heating elements.
Types & Uses of Stainless Steel Cookware
However, stainless steel cookware sets with an aluminum or copper disk in the base or with full cladding are a good choice for many purposes. Copper or aluminum heat distribution layers give your stainless cookware the necessary performance boost that stainless steel alone cannot provide. If the aluminum or copper is completely encased in your stainless cookware, inside and out, then you can clean the pans in the dishwasher.
For cooking on an induction range, look for stainless cookware with a layer of carbon steel known as "magnetic stainless steel," or 18/0 stainless steel, either as the outside layer or as one of the encased layers in the base or cladding. Designed and manufactured correctly, stainless cookware can continue to look like new forever.
In every home kitchen, you should carefully consider the entire cooking process. In determining your overall kitchenware needs, start off by selecting a quality stainless steel cookware set (with an imbedded conductor metal such as copper or aluminum, fully cladded). Getting a well balanced set of pots and pans means that your stainless cookware can hold up for your entire life time. Add a quality Cuisinart food processor, a Kitchen Aid stand mixer, Wilton cake pans and bakeware, good quality knives and cutting boards, and reliable cook top and range.
