How To Choose A Quality Cookware Set
By Sharon Chennault, Fri Dec 9th
If you are considering purchasing new cookware, you probably arewondering how to make the most sensible purchase and still getall the pieces and features you need. Price is always a majorfactor in deciding which cookware set is right for you. Choosingthe perfect cookware set involves much more than color and theavailability of nifty glass lids that you can see through. Ifyou are a serious cook, or simply want the best deal for theprice, you will need to be more practical in making yourdecision. The main factor in choosing cookware is the material from whichit is made. Copper is very expensive, but conducts heat betterthan any other material. Heat conduction allows your food tocook evenly. You will undoubtedly find cookware that isconstructed from stainless steel with a copper reinforcedbottom. The problem with this type of cookware is that thebottom of the food will cook faster than the rest, making itvery difficult to avoiding burning and/or scorching your food.Braising is out of the question in a stainless steel pan with acopper reinforced bottom. You need cookware that allows heat to be distributed evenly. Youare probably very familiar with pans that have hot spots. Hotspots are places in the pan where the food cooksdisproportionately faster than in the rest of the pan. Cookwarewith even heat distribution is imperative if you are seriousabout the food you cook. The problem with copper, cast iron, andaluminum cookware is that certain foods will absorb a metaltaste and color from the pans, not to mention you will ingestsome of the metal that is transferred to the food. Copper willscratch and discolors easily, but every cook should have atleast one copper

bowl for beating egg whites. Copper bowls willallow you to beat eggs whites to their maximum volume.
Aluminum is inexpensive, but as mentioned before, will reactwith certain foods in an unfavorable manner. Aluminum wears downquickly, although there are anodized pans that will cut down onreactivity and increase durability. If you opt for aluminumcookware, anodized is the best choice. Cast iron is good forsearing steaks and a few other specialized cooking tasks, butyou must keep your cast iron cookware seasoned to avoid stickingand pitting of the pan. The fact is that there is no perfect cookware. Each has its ownbenefits and drawbacks. Stainless steel is probably the bestcompromise. Stainless steel is in the middle price range andheat conductivity. It is durable and cleans easily and will notreact with any type of food you cook. Another good choice isstainless steel with an aluminum insert that goes all the way upthe sides of the pan. The conclusion would seem to be that in order to get a good setof cookware, you will have to spend some money, but it is notnecessary to get the most expensive type. A good stainless steelcookware set with a few special pieces such as a non-stickfrying pan, a copper bowl, and any other extras you desire willbe your best choice.
