While stainless has extraordinary qualities that make it excellent for cooking, it's a poor conductor of heat. To conquer this shortcoming, an aluminum or copper core is placed at the base of the pan to assist deliver heat evenly. Both metals supply even distribution of heat, but aluminum retains heat superior to copper does.
Top brands use 3-ply or 5-ply stainless pots and pans with both copper and aluminum cores sandwiched between layers of stainless. If this type of cookware is beyond your capacity to pay, you'll look for quality stainless steel pots and pans with an aluminum or copper plate at the bottom. The plate should extend over the entire bottom of the pan and really should be solid and heavy. Less expensive cookware sets have small plates only in the middle of the pan and don't work perfectly.
Stainless pans are produced from an alloy of iron with chromium and nickel. The most heavy and most long lasting pans are created from 18/10 stainless. This contains 18% chromium and 10% nickel. Pots and pans made of 18/8 stainless also work well. Stainless steel cookware labeled as 18/ contains 18% chromium and % nickel. These are typically very thin and their use is limited by steamers and pasta cookers.
Before paying for cookware, test the handles of the stainless steel pots and pans. Handles must be solid and attached securely to the body of the cookware. They should also be warmth resistant or remain cool to help you avoid injury and bums.
