Stainless steel cookware, regardless of brand or cost, benefits from the application of a few very handy cleaning tips. Even though the name is “stainless” steel, failure to wash this cookware after even the smallest project will result in staining. This does not need to be anything more than basic sink washing or a run through the dishwasher. The outside of each pan should always have a regular metal cleaner applied to insure the beautiful finish is maintained. A little manual scrubbing usually removes any food that may be stuck on. Gentle application of steel wool and soap are sufficient.
Cookware made of other materials such as glass, ceramic and enamel are available. Ease of clean-up and heat resistance are traits of these materials. There have even been recent discoveries that allow cookware made of plastic to be used in storing and cooking. One the advantages of this over metal cookware is that it is microwave safe. It is also ahead of glass cookware since it is both unbreakable and lightweight. One of the difficulties cookware faces the need for even heat distribution that food is uniformly cooked rather than the one half cold, one half burned we have all seen. There are fewer chemical reactions with food, a lower price and greater ease of cleaning which keep it being praised so highly.
If you are seeking an excellent overall stainless cookware, Emerilware is the choice. You can depend on it’s markedly appealing appearance, endurance and preservation of food flavor just as professional chefs and home cooks around the globe so. This is one of those cases where a higher initial investment is a very wise choice.
