With so many cookware on the market today it is hard for consumers to know what cookware in the best. You may have even heard that a Stainless Steel Cookware set is best but do you actually know why? Well, it all boils down to three major factors. Durability, Health benefits and Value for Money.
These pots will last a lifetime with no extra ordinary special care. Stainless steel (SS) does not stain, corrode, or rust . It is not subject to flaking, peeling or wear-off due to rubbing, nor does it rust when scratched.
Stainless Steel Cookware
You can put the pots in the dishwasher or scrub with steel wool and year after year these pots will still look new. I've even dropped my pots occasionally and they have endured no dents. There are different grades and surface finishes of this metal which is use to make cookware. The more common references for cookware are 18/0, 18/8 and 18/10. And more recently I am seeing some cookware labeled Surgical Steel.
The numbers represent the ratio or chromium to nickel. Nickel stabilizes the metal and makes it harder. Therefore, the higher the 2nd number, which is the nickel ratio, the harder and heavier the cookware will be. Naturally, a harder and heavier cookware will indeed make a better more durable pot.
Interestingly, a little known fact of stainless steel is that tanks and tankers used to transport orange juice and other foods are often made of stainless steel due to it's corrosion resistance and antibacterial properties. This just goes to show that your stainless steel cookware material is not sloughing off in your food.
This makes for a more healthy alternative, than other types of cookware material.
When buying this kind of Cookware Set, look for the heaviest that you can buy. When I say heavy, I'm not talking cast iron kind of heavy because SS is a much lighter metal. But feel the weight of the different pots or look for 18/10 on the label. Even if you can't afford 18/10, buying any kind of SS pots is much better than buying the other kinds. It will save your health in the long run.
Good stainless steel pots will most likely last a lifetime. My set of stainless steel pots have lasted well over 20 years and I use them almost every day. This is one of the main reasons for my passion for this specific type of cookware.
You can't beat beauty that will last a lifetime. So, if you are considering acquiring new cookware, consider no other than a stainless steel cookware set.
