Is Tri Ply Stainless Steel Utensils Better Than Non-Stick Cookware?

Triply stainless steel cookware is always better than non-stick cookware because it lasts longer, cooks faster and retains nutrition. At first, the choice of cookware material may not seem like a matter of consideration.

However, the coating on the non-stick steel tends to wear off after one or two years. Hence, in comparison, stainless steel remains a safer choice. Non-stick cookware slips into food and causes health hazards when used for long periods. Also, as the thickness reduces, it starts to heat up quickly and the food gets burned more often.

Kitchen utensils made out of stainless steel are the best choice for searing and browning your meals. Effective browning is impossible to achieve with a nonstick frying pan as it is not designed for high heat. Other than frying eggs or pancakes, cooking the main courses has always remained the job for stainless steel pan or stainless steel pressure cooker.

Temperature measurement: Stainless steel heats up rather quickly as compared to non-stick cookware. Understanding the use of heat and when to stir the ingredients periodically is crucial. For stir-fries, curries, soups and stews or meats, stainless steel is easy to use with a little practice.

Preheat & oiling: While frying things in a stainless steel fry pan, novice cooks often struggle with sticking the food to the steel pan. Hence, while cooking in stainless steel cookware, ensure preheating for 1-2 minutes on medium flame and add sufficient oil. When the oil starts gleaming, add your ingredient.
