Top 10 pot makers
We understand which company pans are better.
Author: Nick Ekholm
Which pot do you call good? It should be not only beautiful, but also comfortable, durable. And, preferably, universal. In this article, we have collected ten manufacturers of pots that we consider the best for domestic use in Russia in 2017.
What material is a good pot made of?
Perhaps the most popular material for pots (judging by the range of stores) - stainless steel. And this is not surprising:
- stainless steel is easy to care for
- in the process of cooking, you can use any spoons and spatulas, including metal, unlike the non-stick coating,
- You can cook dishes with vinegar and other acids (which can not be done in an aluminum pan),
- stainless steel pan looks beautiful, and this beauty is preserved for a long time - the pieces do not break off, the temperature drops are not afraid,
- in modern pans with a multi-layered thick bottom and walls, the food does not stick (if the bottom of the pan is thin, it can burn very much).
Stainless steel pots are offered to us by almost all major dishware manufacturers: foreign - Rondell, TalleR, Regent Inox, Gipfel, Tefal, Nadoba, Vitesse, Mayer & Boch, Tescoma, domestic - Amet, Kukmara, Gourmet (from VSMPO-Tableware). In the shops you will also find a large selection of cheap thin-walled pots (Indian, Chinese, etc.), on which Stainless steel 18/10 is also written ... A good steel pan cannot be cheap! Low price should immediately sow doubt.
The second most popular material that was once the first - aluminum. Aluminum pans are lightweight, inexpensive (made of extruded aluminum is lighter and cheaper, while cast pans are heavier, stronger and more expensive). When used correctly, absolutely safe! The water in them boils quickly. To cook eggs or a jacket in such a saucepan is a sweet affair. Especially for those who grew up in the USSR. In a modern aluminum pan with a non-stick coating, you can put out the sauerkraut and cook some compost, since there is no longer any direct contact between acid and aluminum. Aluminum pans produce TalleR, Rondell, Vitesse, Tefal and our Kukmara, Jarko, Vari, Kalitva.
For some dishes, only a thick-walled, heavy saucepan is suitable. cast iron. Good cast iron pots can be found at Vitesse, TalleR, Rondell, Fissman.
Stand apart pans fireproof, shockproof glass. In such a pan, you can cook a dish, put it in the fridge, and serve it nicely on the table. The only thing you can not do - use it on the stove. Only in the oven or in the microwave. Glass pans produce Unit, Simax, Pyrex, Supra.
Ceramics - the most ancient material for the manufacture of pans. Ceramic saucepan does not interact with food, keeps heat for a long time. It can be used on the stove. Dishes cooked in ceramic dishes have a special taste. Ceramic pots are expensive. And very fragile, it must be considered. Ceramic pots produced by Bekker, Delimano, Frybest.
To compare the price level, we chose a 2-2.5 liter pot. Meet the top ten (according to buyers and experts) of the manufacturers of pots!
