The next time you need to purchase a brand new set of cooking pans, pause for a moment and decide what type of cooking you will be doing most frequently, then decide how much you are capable of spending. It is definitely not necessary to always purchase the most expensive pan available, you will save yourself many headaches in the futures by buying a good quality pan, instead of purchasing the cheapest one available over and over again.
Another good practice is to research some consumer reviews and reports. Here is a list of what you should look for in a cooking pan as well as different types you may need.
* Sauce Pans are easily the most versatile of pans. They can be used for crafting sauces, cooking smaller portions of food, reheating, steaming or just about heating up anything that could possible need to be heated. Since they are so versatile, you may decide to purchase a few various sizes. Some frequently used sizes are 2 are 3 quarts with lids.
* Saut Cooking Pans are wide and flat with straight sides to help when sauting, searing or preparing recipes that have pan sauces and for recipes that require longer cooking times. Great saut pans are constructed with metals that quickly and efficiently built heat. Saut cooking pans also are equipped with a long handle and a lid. Frequently used sizes are 3 to 5 quarts.
* Skillet or frying pans have decently high, slightly flared sides. This is definitely your all purpose pan for any frying you wish to do. Ideally these cooking pans should be constructed out of metals that help induce heat. Non-stick surfaces are useful for omelets. Frequently used sizes are 8, 10 and 12-inch sizes.
* Large Soup or Stock Pots are great for boiling and cooking, and are usually tall and narrow. Stock pots are perfect for cooking and boiling, and are usually used to make stews, stocks, soups, pasta, or just anytime you have a need to make extremely large quantities. The best of this type of pots are usually made with stainless steel plus an aluminum core. The volume of food you will likely be cooking on a regular basis will help you determine what size of pot to purchase. For most normal uses I recommend at least an 8 quart pot.
What to Look for: Cooking Pan Reviews If you are planning on buying a set of cooking pots, ensure it is constructed with sturdy materials that will not become dented or warped. Their handles should be comfortable and secure.
Cooking pans can be bought as part of a set or separately purchased. Purchasing sets can save you a lot of cash. If you do purchase a set, ensure that it fills all of your personal needs; otherwise it is not wise to buy cooking pans you will not use. The concept is to buy ones that will be multifunctional.
