Members tws! Posted October 15, 2009 Members Share Posted October 15, 2009 How do you determine the quality of a pot in a kitchen set? Should I be looking for ceramic, teflon coated, or plain metal? Answers please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bgmaggot Posted October 15, 2009 Members Share Posted October 15, 2009 I've never been a huge fan of stainless steel cookware (except for noodles). I have a full set of Calphalon One nonstick. I love them a lot. They take a bit more effort to maintain, but they're worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members missingastring Posted October 15, 2009 Members Share Posted October 15, 2009 I wish Rachel Ray had a set of cookware emblazoned with her face. That way, I could set fire to her every single day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought about it but I don't smoke the ganja so I wouldn't even have a clue where to start. Maybe the pungentcy (wat) of the smell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gary Cohn Posted October 15, 2009 Members Share Posted October 15, 2009 Teflon and non stick is bad news, especially if you have a dip{censored} roommate that doesn't understand how to use them (as I did). You can't use metal utensils, only wood or that {censored} will eventually chip. Also, the easiest way to tell if you have nice pots or not is if it has "All Clad" on the label/pot handles or not. Just go here, everything here is pwn. http://www.williams-sonoma.com/shop/cookware/cookware-all-clad/?cm_type=lnav Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Gary Cohn Posted October 15, 2009 Members Share Posted October 15, 2009 Same here. My roommate ruined $300.00 worth of my pots because he's a dip{censored}. Oh well, he was the ding dong that was eating teflon ships. I didn't tell it was bad. Get All Clads, never turn back. You'll have em for years.

You can use nylon utensils as well, they're softer than plastic so they won't chip the coating. I had to train my wife how to use them without destroying them. She thought I was crazy. So much stuff to remember: Preheat before using, no salt before it's hot, no lemon-based or lemon-scented dish soap, don't submerge them in water for more than a few seconds, don't put the burners on "high," cook everything a couple notches lower than usual, soft side of the sponge only, use less oil, etc etc etc. If you can get past all that they're totally worth it. You don't have to worry about food sticking, and cleaning them takes seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll use the plastic/wooden {censored} on it, but thats as far as I go. -D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Gary Cohn Posted October 15, 2009 Members Share Posted October 15, 2009 I never have a problem w/o non-stick pans. Never had an issue with sticking once I learned what I was doing. Get a couple pots, and buy a REAL NICE/QUALITY cast iron skillet. My mom has a set that are close to 110 years old. Passed down over generations. imo, non-stick pans are for noobs trying to learn. Like a crate combo. Very forgiving. Once you get the craft down, stainless is teh secks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, I still enjoy cooking dinner in a more traditional way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
