Whether you are a “casual cook” or a “culinary enthusiast”, it’s helpful to know the benefits and advantages of enamel coated cookware.
The casual cook probably gets frustrated and discouraged by the chore of cleaning and scrubbing plain stainless steel, aluminum or cast iron pots and pans. If you’re the ‘enthusiast’, you want to spend more time enjoying the meal and your guests.
Plain stainless steel, aluminum and cast iron pots and pans don’t provide resistance to heat. As a result, cooking at high temperatures makes food stick. This makes cleanup a hassle and detracts from enjoying the time preparing meals. The first noticeable benefit of enamel coated cookware is the smooth, glossy feel on the outside of the pots and pans. This glossy finish, both inside and out, is added for two important reasons. The first is to allow you to cook at high temperatures. Food does not stick, making cleaning much easier and you can use recipes which require more intense heat adding more variety to your meals.
Another benefit of enamel coated cookware is its resistance to rust. The thick, glossed feel that is part of enamel cookware prohibits rust for a longer useful life of the pot or pan. Enamel cookware is known to be very durable and the outer texture is able to stop damage from the elements in your kitchen that effect cookware.
Adding to the advantages of enamel cookware is style. Enamel cookware comes in a variety of stylish, contemporary colors. Pots and pans come in assorted shapes and sizes. If you cooking needs are simple, you can be well served with 2 or 3 basic pots or skillets. If you like to braise, roast, sauté, grill or fry, there is a perfect pot, skillet, grill pan or roaster for you. With various sizes, you can find a shallow skillet designed for grilling or a deeper skillet for frying. You can find larger pots for making stock or soups. Smaller ones are common for stews. Today, kitchen designs frequently incorporate open shelves or cabinets with clear glass doors allowing you to display this fashionable style of cookware and add a touch of flair to your decor. Plain stainless steel, aluminum or cast iron creates a more “utilitarian” look. Also, the stylish appearance of enamel cookware allows you to take it directly from the stove or oven directly to the table.
If you want to enhance your cooking experience then enamel coated cookware is right for you. It is one of the most popular types of cookware found in today’s kitchens. Cook your best with pots, pans and skillets that are durable, rust resistant and very stylish.
