Pros of Stainless Steel Cookware
- Durable – Stainless steel is a tough material that does not rust, stain, chip or dent easily. Plus it’s dish washer safe for easy clean up!
- Flavor Safe – Your food won’t have a weird metallic taste. Stainless steel does not impact the flavor of food. Other materials like non-stick coating often flake off and come off in your food. You don’t have to worry about this with stainless steel.
- Beautiful – A stainless steel mirrored finish can look flawless for years. The pots and pans will look high quality in your kitchen.
- Environmentally Friendly – Stainless steel cookware can be recycled which helps to reduce waste.
Cons of Stainless Steel Cookware
- Heat Transfer – If you buy low quality stainless steel the heat transfer may not be very even. We recommend that you invest in purchasing a stainless steel cookware collection with a copper or aluminum base to improve heat conductivity.
- Cleaning – While stainless steel dishes and pans can go in the dish washer, food often gets stuck to the button. With a little scrubbing and proper preparation during the cooking process this can be easily avoided!
