Best Cookware
Saucepans and other cooking pans “work” when they heat food evenly across the entire surface of the pan. Perhaps the single most important characteristic of good cook ware is the thickness of the bottom of the pan. Thin bottoms burn food.
A good pan simmers tomato sauce without hot spots bubbling hot liquid onto your hand and the cooktop. All Clad stainless steel looks terrific and lasts forever but that does not mean that you cannot cook as well with a Lodge Logic cast iron pan for a lot less money.
To see if your current cookware is up to snuff you should cook some pancakes in your favorite skillet. If they come out golden brown your cookware works. If the pancakes have uneven burn spots it’s time to upgrade your most important kitchen equipment. It’s no secret that quality cookware is one of the better gift ideas.
