Whether you’re an “occasional cook” or “foodie,” it helps to know the benefits and advantages of enamel-coated cookware.
The casual cook is probably frustrated and discouraged by the task of cleaning and scrubbing stainless steel, aluminum, or cast iron pots and pans. If you’re the ‘foodie’, you’ll want to spend more time enjoying the food and your guests.
Stainless steel, aluminum and cast iron pots and pans do not offer heat resistance. As a result, cooking at high temperatures causes food to stick. This makes cleanup a hassle and detracts from meal prep. The first noticeable benefit of enamel-coated cookware is the smooth, shiny feel on the outside of pots and pans. This glossy finish, both inside and out, is added for two important reasons. The first is that it allows you to cook at high temperatures. The food does not stick, making cleaning much easier and you can use recipes that require a more intense heat adding more variety to your meals.
Another benefit of enamel-coated cookware is its resistance to rust. The thick, shiny feel that is part of enamel cookware prevents rust to extend the life of the pot or pan. Enamel cookware is known to be very durable and the textured exterior can stop damage from your kitchen items taking a toll on 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 a variety of shapes and sizes. If your cooking needs are simple, you may be well served with 2 or 3 basic pots or pans. If you like to braise, roast, sauté, grill or fry, there is a perfect pot, pan, grill or rotisserie for you. With various sizes, you can find a shallow pan designed for grilling or a deeper pan for frying. You can find larger pots to make stock or soups. The smaller ones are common for stews. Today’s kitchen designs often incorporate open shelving or clear glass door cabinets that allow you to showcase this modern style of cookware and add a touch of style to your décor. Plain stainless steel, aluminum, or cast iron create a more “utilitarian” look. Plus, the sleek look of enamel cookware allows you to take it straight from the stove or oven right to the table.
If you want to enhance your dining experience, 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 durable, corrosion-resistant, and highly stylish pots, pans, and skillets.
