As we know, to perform any task well, you need to suit every tool required for that task first, and only then will you be able to achieve the desired results. Similar is the case with cooking ware or cooking equipment. Choosing the right pot for cooking your dish is crucial because it not only determines a well-done and perfectly cooked meal but also your comfort and ease. There is a wide variety of kitchenware found on the market, be it cooking pots, pans, cookers, etc., but for every task, a special piece of equipment is used. First, let's see what different types of pans we generally get to see in normal household kitchens.
In our article, we will be focusing more on saucepans, as there is quite a bit of variation in this category.
When it comes to deciding which saucepan to buy and which type will suit your needs the best, you might get confused. Worry not; this article will sort out all your queries. There could be different types of saucepans in terms of the material used in their manufacturing, their size, and their capacity. Let us discuss these one by one.
Before jumping into the discussion of types, let us first go through the different uses of saucepans so that you could decide which type you need. We mostly use saucepans whenever an emergency cooking situation is at hand—that is when you need to cook an easy, small dish in less time. The best example, in this case, could be instant noodles and pasta. A saucepan not only could be used to boil pasta, but as its name indicates, we could make sauces for the pasta as well; what an ease! One pan and your whole dish are done; this way, you wouldn't have to waste plenty of time cooking in multiple pots, and you can concentrate better as well. Another use of this category of pans is for making soups and stews. Just add your vegetables and meat to the pot, put the lid on, and leave it to cook. Within a few minutes, you'll be able to enjoy some nice, hot, yummy soup.
Types:
ON THE BASIS OF SIZE:
Saucepans could be of different sizes, their size range is between 1-4 quarts and 16-28 cm. Smaller ones could be used only for boiling water or to make small meals for 1 or 2 people, and larger ones could be used to make large bowls of soups and pasta.
ON THE BASIS OF MATERIAL:
Various metals are used to manufacture saucepans; here, while we discuss the materials, we will also share some popular brands offering saucepans in that very material so that you don't have to wander here and there in the hunt for a perfect saucepan.
STAINLESS STEEL:
Stainless steel is by far the most popular or most used material for kitchenware. It gives the pan a shiny appearance, and not only that, it is completely non-stick and safe to use.
The popular brands that manufacture stainless steel saucepans include:
CAST IRON:
Cast iron is basically an alloy of iron that is completely resistant to corrosion. It provides a solid body to your pan; in fact, if you have a rough use, it won't be damaged fast.
Cast iron saucepan brands include:
ALUMINIUM:
Aluminum is the second-most preferred material by customers in the case of saucepans and other kitchenware as well.
Some popular brands are:
CERAMIC:
Ceramicipment is basically a combination of glass, plastic, and other materials; they could be crystalline or they could contain metal as well. It is a very safe material to use in cooking as, while cooking, no metallic or glass particles would leach out of the pan and your food would be clean from any type of impurity.
These are the common manufacturers of ceramic saucepans.
