MasterClass Stock Pot With Lid 11L, Induction-Safe, Stainless Steel, Silver

Product Information

The biggest reason for this is that when choosing cheaply made cookware, you will probably have to replace them a few times which will eventually cost you more than an expensive quality one would have. Aluminum is the cheapest material you will probably find, but as we have discussed, it does have a few downfalls. Using the lid brings the contents of the pot to a boil faster, so that you can save time, energy and money while lowering your environmental impact.

You can cook food on a low heat and save energy because the stainless steel in the pan absorbs heat well and retains it for a long time. Measuring weight is much more accurate than measuring in cups, so this is a very accurate method to use. However, this is still one of the better material choices as it is an excellent heat conductor which is a necessity with larger cooking vessels that need to evenly heat large quantities of food.

Another last tip regarding durability, we wouldn’t recommend getting something that has been coated. Stainless steel is also very conductive and will evenly distribute the heat throughout the base, which in turn evenly heats the food inside your pot. Steamed or boiled pieces of meat like fish, gammon, or lobster and crab, boiling larger whole vegetables, making preserves and canned products Like we have mentioned in the materials section, stainless steel is extremely durable and will not easily dent or scratch.

These cooking vessels are generally on the larger side of pots and have a wide flat bottom with straight high sides. Ceramics on the other hand, despite being very hard, heavy, and durable, will most likely break or at least chip when it is bumped against something or dropped. We strongly believe that you should invest in quality equipment, even if they are on the pricier side. Aluminum is a soft and lightweight material which also makes it easier to transport larger vessels.Aluminum on the other hand has the tendency to dent very easily which will also affect how heat is conducted. Larger pots will enable you to make bigger batches of food or simply use them for larger pieces of meat and vegetables. The biggest problem with aluminum is that it can be a very reactive material (with certain foods, especially very acidic ones) and can give your food a greyish hue, a metallic taste, and even cause some acidic foods to curdle. The top of the pot has an opening the same width as the diameter of the sides, and attached are two handles to help make transporting this large vessel much easier.

Then we have materials like cast iron and ceramics. Cast iron is one of the most durable materials you will find and will likely break something else before it breaks itself. Alternatively, you can use cups to measure the volume of the pot and then simply convert it to quarts.

Stainless steel is in our opinion is the best material and is slightly more expensive compared to aluminum.
