Stainless steel pans are well-known for their resistance to rust and corrosion, as well as their long life and ease of maintenance. They evenly distribute heat across the cooking surface, making them ideal for searing meats and sautéing vegetables. Stainless steel pans are suitable for a wide range of cooking methods and can be used on a variety of stovetops, including induction. While they do not have nonstick properties, they are preferred for their ability to produce fond (browned bits) that improve the flavour of sauces and gravy. Popular examples include the Fissler Stainless Steel Frying Pan (28 cm) and the WMF Stainless Steel Saucepan (14 cm).Cast Iron:Cast-iron pans are known for their excellent heat retention and durability. These pans distribute heat evenly and retain it for an extended period of time, making them ideal for high-temperature cooking or maintaining a consistent heat for slow cooking. Cast iron requires seasoning to maintain its natural nonstick surface, and with proper care, it can last a lifetime. Cast iron, while heavier than other materials, is versatile enough to be used on the hob, in the oven, or even over a campfire. It's great for searing, frying, baking, and even making desserts like cobbler. Examples are the Finex Cast Iron Grill Pan (26 cm) and the Chasseur Cinq Etoiles Cast Iron Nonstick Frypan (26 cm).Non-Stick:Nonstick pans have a coating that keeps food from sticking to the surface, making them extremely easy to clean. These pans are popular for preparing delicate foods such as eggs, pancakes, and fish without the use of excessive oil or butter. Nonstick surfaces also promote healthier cooking by lowering fat intake. They come in a variety of sizes, from frying pans to saucepans, and are typically lighter than cast iron or stainless steel pans. To keep non-stick pans working properly, use utensils that do not scratch the coating. Examples include the Flonal Cookware Petra Viva Extra Deep Frying Pan (26 cm) and the Anolon Endurance+ Nonstick French Skillet With Bonus Lid (30 cm).Aluminium:Aluminium pans are valued for their high heat conductivity, which ensures quick and even heating across the cooking surface. They are lightweight and easy to use, making them ideal for everyday cooking tasks. Aluminium pans are frequently treated with nonstick coatings to improve their performance and durability. They are less expensive than stainless steel or cast iron pans, making them appealing to home cooks looking for high-quality cookware without breaking the bank. Aluminium pans are suitable for a wide range of cooking methods and work with most stovetops. Examples are the Pyrolux Pyrosmart Milk Pan, 14 cm, and the Pyrolux Crepe Pancake Pan, 19 cm.How do you clean and care for your kitchen pan?To properly clean and care for your kitchen pan, allow it to cool slightly after use. To remove food residue from stainless steel and cast iron pans, scrub with warm water, a gentle dishwashing soap, and a nonabrasive sponge. Avoid using harsh scouring pads or steel wool, as they can scratch the surface. To maintain the non-stick coating on non-stick pans, use a soft sponge or cloth soaked in mild dish soap. Avoid cooking sprays, as they can accumulate and reduce the pan's effectiveness over time. After cleaning, thoroughly dry the pan to prevent water spots and rusting, particularly if it is cast iron. To avoid moisture buildup, store pans in a dry place. To keep cast iron pans nonstick and prevent rusting, apply a light coat of oil on a regular basis. Regular maintenance will extend the life and performance of your kitchen pans, making them a dependable tool in your culinary adventures.Best Kitchen Pans Available in New Zealand with Great Offers - Purchase Now[accordion title="Frequently Asked Questions- FAQ"][accordion-item title="What Material is Ideal for a Pan?"]Pans come in various materials, including stainless steel, aluminum, cast iron, and non-stick coatings.
