What Are The Advantages Of Stainless Steel Cookware?

Robust Durability

Stainless steel cookware combines the properties of a number of pretty hard and durable metals, It also has no coating on it like nonstick cookware or ceramic cookware which can wear off over time. With Stainless steel even if it gets scratched there is no decrease in the performance of the cookware as the properties on the surface of stainless steel are the same all the way through.

Versatile

You can cook pretty much anything with stainless steel cookware, granted you will often need to add a little oil for some types of cooking. But temperature is not an issue here as there is not a coating that is going to break down when heated, this is perfect for cooking things like steak where you have to heat the pan so that you get a good searing action on the meat. You can also use any utensil with stainless steel as there are no issues with scratching.

Appearance

One of the things that I love about stainless steel is that there are a number of different finishes that you can have, I personally like the brushed finish but there are other options

Can Be Used On Any Cooktop Surface

This is a biggie as far as I am concerned. You can use this on any cooktop, from glass to gas to induction cooktops . This makes stainless steel cookware a must have in most commercial or restaurant kitchens.

Maintenance

There is very little maintenance when it comes to stainless steel. You use it, you wash it and then you put it away- job done.

Cost Of Stainless Steel Cookware

While this can be quite a bit more then other types of cookware, you need to take into account that this will most likely outlast any of often cheaper nonstick and ceramic cookware. I am not saying that this is better than some of the better made nonstick options but should be taken into account when looking at the price that you will pay.

It is important to note here that there are cheaper options for Stainless steel but as I have said before I make no apologies for always suggesting that you buy the best quality that you can afford
