Choosing the right Pans and Cookware
More and more people are taking an interest in food, where their food comes from, seasonality and the different ways in which food can be cooked.
Of course, the quality of produce is such a key factor when cooking. Flavouring and seasoning can only do so much, the quality of the base food whether it be meal, fish or vegetables is highly important.
If you have the best knives, saucepans and oven all the better but not everyone does. After buying the best produce you can afford the next most important purchase should be quality cookware, i.e pans.
Many people will have noticed that when a chef is cooking on television, they state and describe the pan they are using and that is normally one that they would strongly recommend you use. This is because pans are such a large part in how a recipe is cooked and how the finished dish turns out. When searing meat the last thing you would want to do is use a high sided pan as this would effectively steam the meat and you should not boil paste in a small, shallow pan.
Different pans cook food in different ways which is confirmed in a number of famous dishes from around the world. Many famous dishes are named after the pan or dish in which they were cooked in for example Spanish Paella, Moroccan Tagine and Indian Karahi. Each piece of cookware has been used for years and years to specifically achieve different effects.
Moving on from the correct type of pan or piece of cookware and then there are the different finishes including bases and coatings on pans, non-stick, Stainless Steel and copper pans are the most common. There are then Cast Iron pans namely for casserole dishes and griddle pans. Leading brands include Stellar pans, Le Creuset and Tefal.
The life of a pan can be greatly prolonged by cleaning it correctly. Although many pans these days are “dishwasher safe” this is not the advised method of cleaning pans. Seasoning a pan not only prolongs the life of the pan but it improves the quality of the cooking in it. This is done by heating oil in the pan then letting it go cold. You then wipe of the cold oil with a cloth or kitchen paper. This is also the advised method when dish washing by hand, basically anytime you use detergent on the pan.
