*Review of the best according to the editors of simplerule.ru. About the selection criteria. This material is subjective in nature, does not constitute advertising and does not serve as a purchase guide. Before purchasing, consultation with a specialist is required.

The quality of the food prepared depends to a large extent on the quality of the utensils used. The variety of kitchen utensils available in the market can easily become confusing and lead to choosing the wrong product. How to choose the perfect pan? Which manufacturers are considered top by experts? We will answer all questions below.

Material

To begin with, it is worthwhile to dwell in detail on the types of material. Typically these are stainless steel, aluminum, ceramics, glass, cast iron, copper. Each product has special properties.

Stainless steel products are in first place in popularity. Almost all the largest Russian and foreign manufacturers of kitchenware are engaged in the production of such pans. This is a universal device suitable for preparing any dishes. Steel does not have a negative effect on the taste of products. In addition, this material is durable and lasts longer than others. It is recommended to wash steel utensils only with a soft sponge; brushes with a metal cleaning surface will only damage the surface, leaving scratches.

Another popular material that was once the most in demand is aluminum. Aluminum cookware is usually inexpensive. Pans made of extruded aluminum are very light in weight, but are subject to deformation. Products made of cast aluminum, on the contrary, are durable and noticeable in weight, but they are also more expensive. The water in such a container boils very quickly, and the material is absolutely harmless. Aluminum products are great for everyday use - boiling eggs, potatoes. If the product is equipped with a non-stick coating, you can cook full meals in it, as well as cook compotes - the products here do not have direct contact with aluminum.

Heavy cast iron pans with a non-stick coating are good for frying, sautéing and baking.

Such cookware has thick walls and is equally suitable for the stove and oven (if its surface is not covered with enamel).

Pots made of impact-resistant fireproof glass cannot be placed on the stove; they can only be used in the microwave or oven. If you need to use it on a gas stove, you need the burners to have a fire spreader, since heat-resistant glass requires uniform heating. For the same reason, it is recommended to place the pan in a cold oven, gradually heating it, otherwise the glass may burst. The finished dish can be served in it, as glassware looks aesthetically pleasing and not bulky.

Ceramic pots can hold heat for a long time. The material is safe and does not interact with products. Such dishes can be placed on the stove or used in the oven, and dishes cooked in them have a special taste. At the same time, ceramics is one of the most expensive and fragile materials.

Enameled cookware is inexpensive and heats up quickly. Enamel acts as a protective layer between the metal base and the products. However, the enamel coating can chip from impacts, and rust can form at the chip site over time, releasing harmful substances.

Copper pans are reliable, but have a high cost. The dish is preserved better in such dishes, but it is not recommended to cook vegetables, fruits or sour dishes in it.

Copper pans have an attractive appearance; details such as handles and lids are elegantly shaped and often made by hand.

Advanced Bronze Anolon 7 Piece Cookware Set

The set includes:

• Casserole with lid, 8 l,
• Bucket with lid, 2 pcs., 3 l and 1.5 l
• Frying pan, 2 pcs., 24 cm and 20 cm,
• Grill pan, 30 cm,
• Saucepan with lid, 3 l.

The multifunctional set will allow you to complete most kitchen tasks, while it is quite compact: it folds into two neat stacks.

The cookware is made of anodized aluminum - a durable and lightweight material. DuPont Autograph non-stick coating is a premium coating and has exceptional performance in all major criteria - non-stick properties, abrasion and scratch resistance, and withstands more than 180 cycles of the "tiger paw" test (where a heated surface is tested for scratch resistance using rods with tungsten tip), and more than 30 thousand cycles of abrasion test with a dish sponge. The coating can withstand heating up to 205 °C.

The handles, made with Anolon SureGrip technology, have a non-slip surface and stay cool while cooking.

The disadvantages of this cookware include the fastening of the handles with rivets, which can create some difficulties during washing, and incompatibility with induction cookers.

Other options

It is also worth dwelling on some of the technical characteristics of the cookware, which play an important role in the selection process.

Lids. Glass or steel are best. The transparent fireproof glass lid allows you to observe the cooking process. But such lids must have good throughput, otherwise steam will accumulate. Steel lids are durable and reliable, and some are equipped with a special funnel for adding ingredients to the dish while it is cooking. There are also models with built-in temperature sensors for process control.

Coating. One of the essential characteristics. It is best to give preference to cookware with a non-stick coating on the bottom. It makes the surface smooth, as a result, you can add a minimum of vegetable oil and the food will not burn.

Pens. Usually made of bakelite, plastic, silicone or the same material from which the pan itself is made. But, no matter what they are made of, the main requirement is that the handles do not heat up. However, in the case of cast “ears” of enameled and cast iron devices, this is not possible. And materials such as silicone or plastic can melt and deform if caught in a fire. Handles attached to the product with rivets can quickly become loose with intensive use. A more reliable method of fastening is spot welding.

Thickness of walls and bottom. The standard bottom thickness is considered to be from 1.9 mm to 8 mm. This bottom heats up quickly, due to which the dish is cooked quickly, and its heating occurs evenly. There are also products with a multi-layer bottom; they cool slowly, so the dish remains warm for a long time.

As for the walls, their thickness ranges from 0.4 mm to 5 mm, and the greater the thickness, the longer the heat of cooked products is retained.

Slab type. You can place pots made of almost any material on a regular gas stove. It is not recommended to place glass products on an electric stove. And the induction cooker works well with special pans, the bottom of which is equipped with a magnetic plate.

Volume. This parameter directly depends on what type of food will be cooked in a particular vessel. For example, for soups, compotes, and various pickles, a large saucepan with a capacity of 18-20 liters is suitable.

Which brand of pans is better?

The quality of the finished dishes depends on the performance characteristics and ease of use of the utensils. Stainless steel models are considered the most durable and safe, but their price exceeds the cost of kitchen sets of other materials. It is recommended to choose aluminum devices with a thick, flat bottom. The presence of a non-stick coating will not only make cooking easier, but will also increase the shelf life of the appliance. The speed of cooking depends on the degree of tightness of the lid. The VyborExpert project team identified the best manufacturers of pots in the ranking based on a number of criteria:

• Brand with low prices - Vitesse;
• Best Design – Mayer&Boch;
• User choice – TalleR;
• Best Product Quality and Availability – Rondell;
• Cookware with the best non-stick coating – Tefal;
• Pots with the best price/quality ratio are produced by the Gurman brand.

When choosing a product, you need to take into account its price, since material with good characteristics cannot be cheap. Most manufacturers offer inexpensive models, but their quality meets accepted standards. Users will test the ease of use of cookware from a particular company through their own experience. The presented rating will help you clarify in advance the operating features of the models of the selected company.

How to choose the perfect option

Volume

For those who have a busy kitchen and no pots at all, the simplest option would be to purchase a whole set. If we are talking about 1-2 products, you need to be more careful when choosing a certain volume:

1. Large capacity (3-5 l) is an ideal solution for preparing compotes, cold dishes, and first courses in large quantities. But for a family of 2 people, this option is probably not practical.
2. Medium capacity (2-2.5 l) - a universal model - for preparing and heating first courses, stewing, boiling pasta, etc.
3. A small container (1 l) - as a rule, such products are equipped with a long handle - are convenient for boiling eggs, sausages, and vegetables.

Separately, it is worth mentioning the thick-walled models of pans. This option will certainly come in handy on the farm. Kazankas are ideal for cooking porridge, pilaf, etc. (products that require long simmering).

Metal type

1. Aluminum

   - an unpretentious, inexpensive option, which 20 years ago was prevalent in any kitchen. The main advantage of this metal is its high thermal conductivity, which allows you to speed up the cooking process and save on energy or gas costs. Cons: unsuitable for preparing foods with a high acid content and storing dishes, darkening of the metal over time, poor resistance to deformation.

2. Stainless steel

   - a durable, practical option that is lightweight and moderately priced. Main advantages: durability, heating speed, applicability for any stove, suitable for preparing acidic foods and storing ready-made dishes. Cons: it is difficult to remove stains from overheating; abrasive compounds cannot be used for cleaning.

3. Enameled metal

   – is a metal base with an outer coating of glassy enamel. Main advantages: light weight, aesthetics, ease of maintenance, inertness to acidic environments. Cons: long heating time, sensitivity to temperature changes, shocks and abrasives, not suitable for preparing cereals or boiling milk (food will burn).

4. Cast iron

   – a strong, durable, functional material that holds heat excellently, is ideal for stewing, baking, and is safe for health. Main advantages: durability, quality of cooking, environmental safety. Disadvantages: significant weight, fragility (with high strength, cast iron is afraid of impacts - it can burst), susceptibility to the corrosion process (if you do not wipe the metal dry after cleaning).

5. Glass

   – fire-resistant glass used in the production of pans is resistant to high temperatures and environmentally friendly. Main advantages: aesthetics, ability to store food, suitable for cooking in the microwave. Cons: unstable to shock, fear of temperature changes, not suitable for cooking on the stove (in most cases).

6. Ceramics

   - an environmentally friendly, natural material that is highly valued for its heat-resistant and thermally conductive properties. Ceramic pans are suitable for boiling, stewing, and baking dishes. Main advantages: excellent heat retention, environmentally friendly, oven-safe, aesthetically pleasing. Disadvantages: if the glaze layer is damaged, the food will begin to burn to the bottom; it requires delicate handling (it is afraid of impacts, sudden temperature changes).
