What Is 18/10 Stainless Steel Cookware?

Stainless steel is an alloy, meaning it is a mixture of different metals, you are in essence combining these metals to produce something that has the best properties of the metals involved.

One of the most desirable traits of this alloy is its resistance to oxidation or rusting. Cookware like cast iron cookware is prone to this and so you have to season it so that does not rust.

With Stainless steel cookware you can:

Leave it to soak in water and not worry about rust (I have tested this with the cookware I talk about below)

It has the durability and robustness of cast iron

The shiny finish makes it look good.

While stainless steel is not the best conductor of heat, it does hold it very well lessening the chance of hotspots when you are cooking.

You can use this type of cookware on any cooking surface.

Is induction compatible

Long lasting and safe

You can cook everything in it – acidic foods, foods that stain other types of cookware etc.

Will not degrade in time like ceramic and nonstick cookware

Great for cooking foods that need high temperatures such as steaks
