I Need Some Pots And Pans To Cook In - What Should I Buy?
If you've shopped for cookware recently, you may have gotten a
headache from looking at all the choices and brands available.
And all of them seem to be telling you the same things - I'm the
best; I'm a great value; buy me.
What should you buy? Before you start considering your cookware
options consider the following five questions.
1) Do you cook for a few people or a lot of people? This will
determine how many pots and pans you need and also how big you
need them to be.
2) What kind of cooking do you most often do? I like to make
homemade soup so a large stockpot is essential for me. On the
other hand, I never steam anything on the stovetop (I use an
electric steamer) so a stovetop steamer is useless to me. Think
about what you cook or what you want to learn how to cook so you
can determine what pieces of cookware you'll need.
3) How important is ease of cleanup to you? If you hate cleanup
you should probably buy non-stick cookware. If you want to be
able to put your cookware in the dishwasher you'll need to look
at the sets you're considering to see if it's advisable. For
example, hard-anodized aluminum cookware (http://www.acooksdelight.com/cookware/anodizedaluminumcookware
) is a very popular type of cookware but the outside of the
pots will change color and darken if you wash them in your
dishwasher. I own this type of cookware and I love it. But there
are days when I don't love having to take the time to hand-wash
it, but I do because I don't want it to get discolored in my
dishwasher. Most professional cooks prefer stainless steel
cookware. It's nice to cook with but clean-up can be fairly
time-consuming.
4) What type of stove do you have? Do you have a smooth-top
electric stovetop? If you do, you need flat-bottom pots and
pans. I didn't think about this when I purchased my smooth-top
stove. I quickly discovered my pots and pans weren't flat
bottomed and that they didn't work well on my new stove. As a
result I had to go buy new cookware that had flat bottoms. If
you have an induction cooktop you needs pots and pans with
ferrite in them, which means they need to be magnetic.
5) What is your budget? I highly recommend buying the best
quality cookware you can
afford. The best quality is not always
the most expensive cookware available, but it's never the
cheapest. If you buy a $49.99 set of cookware, you'll be getting
a bargain but you won't be getting a good set of cookware.
Now that you've thought about your needs and know how much you
can afford to spend, it's time to go look at cookware. You'll
likely be using your cookware every day so you want something
that you're comfortable working with. But the number one thing
to look for in cookware is weight and heft. Heavier weight
cookware won't warp over time which causes you to lose the flat,
even cooking surface on the bottom of your pan; and you can
control the heat better in heavier weight cookware. I'm not
saying you have to buy cookware that you need to join the gym to
be able to lift out of the cupboard but don't buy cheap flimsy
pots and pans.
If a pan feels like you could bend it, don't buy it. I'm not
suggesting you walk into a store, pick up every pot and pan and
try to bend it, but look at one of the saucepans. If you push a
little on the sides and that saucepan has some "give" to it,
it's not going to hold up well on your stove.
To get a good quality cookware set you'll probably need to spend
a minimum of $200 (. If you don't have that much to spend
consider buying only the essential pieces you need to get you
started such as a 2-quart saucepan, a sauté pan and a stockpot.
Add pieces as you can afford them. Although you'll typically get
the best value for your money if you buy a cookware set versus
buying the individual pieces don't buy a poor quality set just
so you have an entire set of cookware. You'll end up spending
more money in the long run replacing those pots and pans when
they get warped and ruined (which won't take long).
If you take the time to consider your needs, do some shopping
around, and purchase the best quality set of cookware you can
afford, you're likely to be happy with your purchase for a long
time.
