A pan without special coating – what does this imply?
8th APRIL 2024
A universal pan is industrious, generous, and long-lasting, capable of handling daily cooking and transforming your kitchen into a canvas for culinary creativity. The burgeoning home gastronomy culture encourages people to explore not just complex recipes and diverse, high-quality ingredients, but also the intricacies of their preparation.
If you admire the culinary artistry found in professional kitchens, stainless steel or copper pans without special coatings might be the stepping-stone towards culinary excellence.
Surfaces without special coating heat extremely quickly and evenly, demonstrating negligible wear even over years of use; they can also be used with metal spatulas without fear. This type of pan is indispensable for dishes needing caramelisation and slight surface stickiness.
If you fancy yourself deserving of a chef's hat at home, a stainless steel Honeycomb or copper Copper pan is the go-to choice.
The Honeycomb patterned base channels frying fat under the food, creating a naturally effective non-stick effect rooted in physics.
Before frying, pour and warm oil or fat in the pan over medium heat. Then increase the heat, and once you've placed in the prepared ingredients, select the appropriate frying temperature for the specific dish.
As its name indicates, the aesthetically distinctive Copper collection of pans is composed of copper, making them highly responsive to temperature changes.
This feature allows for meticulous control over the cooking or baking process, especially crucial when preparing sauces and dishes needing precise technique or caramelisation.
Do keep in mind, though, that copper pans react with food acids and particularly alkalis, making them unsuitable for preparing acidic products.
