Stainless Pots And Pans

Pots and Pans – Cooking Good Food is more than just Choosing Stainless Steel or Cast Iron Cookware

Cookware and Pots and Pans – Is what you personally bring to cooking more important?

The type and quality of the cookware you choose, whether you are looking for steel pans, an electric frying pan or a cast iron cookware set, is essential to your cooking success and like any job that you tackle, the better the tools to hand the more time and energy you save and the more you have control over the end result.

With cooking particularly this last point is vital.  If the wrong type of pan is selected and gets too hot, too quickly then food is easily spoilt or ruined.

In general cheaper, thinner cookware absorbs heat too quickly and risks burning the food and loses heat it too fast when removed from the energy source.  Heavier, better quality cookware will continue to cook food gently or keep it hot even when removed from the heat source.

Rice, for example, can be cooked this way after being brought to the boil and then left to cook on its own without additional heat input.

Your choice of cookware will also be influenced by its size, design, colour and appearance.  Good quality, well maintained cookware looks great in a modern kitchen as well as being useful.

The type of cooker you have will also determine the type of pan you might use.  Stainless steel works very well on electric and gas hobs; ranges such as an Aga generally cook best with much heavier pans.

However, more that anything else bear in mind that what we personally bring to our cooking influences the quality of the food that we produce.  If we are relaxed and enjoying what we are doing then that will be reflected in the food.  Conversely, if we are upset, angry or tense then that will be reflected in the food we produce too.  If food is made with care, enthusiasm and love it will show in the taste, texture and presentation.

Just think about the food at your favourite restaurant – if you go there often you will know whether the chef is having a good day or not by what arrives at your table!

Food is very subtle and when we put it in our mouth a lot of senses come into play, not just taste and smell but memory too.  Some people can recall particular events in their life years later just by recalling the food they ate on that particular occasion.

So bearing all these factors in mind choose those cookware items that best suit you and that will help you make the perfect meals for you, your family, friends or that special person in you life.

They say ” we are what we eat”, so start by choosing the best basic tools that you can afford, choose the best quality ingredients that you can find or grow yourself and enjoy what you do so that you can be the best chef you can be. It’s incredibly satisfying to produce and share great food!
