Are you really into cooking? A lot of people think that cooking is all about skill. The truth is, skill and experience have a lot to do with it. However, a lot of cooking depends on the tools in which you use. Good cookware can transform even the worst chefs into respectable ones. Not to mention, it can also make for a much easier cooking experience. However, finding the best cookware is not always easy. Below we will discuss some of the best ways to determine the best types for you and some of the top options currently on the market.

How To Find Good Cookware:

•  Reviews. 

The first thing that you are going to want to search for is reviews. Because there are a ton of marketplaces on the Internet that offer real user testimonials and reviews, you can generally find excellent products by doing a thorough search for reviews. Amazon is easily the best place to look for real and honest reviews about any product you are looking for. You can filter the reviews by best rated so that you do not waste your time on poorly rated products.

• Materials. 

The next thing that you are going to want to consider is the material that the cookware is made out of. There are pro’s and con’s to each different type of cookware material. One of the most popular materials used in producing cookware is stainless steel. Below we will discuss some of the pro’s and con’s of the different materials.

a) Stainless Steel. 

As noted previously, stainless steel is easily the most used material for cookware. The reason is that it is extremely durable and versatile. Pretty much any type of food can be cooked using stainless steel products. Plus, it is extremely easy to clean as they are dishwasher safe.

The cons to stainless steel revolve around one single fault. The problem with stainless steel is that many foods will stick to the bottom of the pan. There are ways to prevent this such as; utilizing oils and treating it with care. However, this is a problem that you will have to deal with at some point if you are planning on utilizing stainless steel cookware.

b) Treated Stainless Steel Cookware. 

A lot of people have been drawn to this new type of cookware that is treated with non-stick coating. The non stick coating that is used on the products is polytetrafluoroethylene. As you can see, sticking is an extremely high pain point for a lot of people. For this reason, manufacturers have produced tons of “non stick” cookware. The pro’s are obviously that they do not allow foods to stick as easily as regular stainless steel cookware.

The con’s to this particular option are that you generally cannot utilize metal and/or sharp utensils on them. For one, they will scratch. Also, the coating will rub off rendering them useless at what they are meant to do.

As you can see, there are a couple of options on the market that will bring you the best results when cooking. Choose what fits your style, tastes, and preferences. If you can deal with the downside of food sticking, stainless steel will be your best cookware option.
