What to consider when looking for the best stainless steel skillet to use in your kitchen? Many manufacturers offer different size skillets and some have a nonstick coating and others are not coated. Depending on the type of dish you are trying to prepare will determine whether you should use a nonstick or uncoated stainless steel cooking surface.
The traditional uncoated surfaces are great for preparing meals that you would start on the cook top and finish off in the oven. The best stainless steel skillet for this type of cooking process is one that has a handle that is capable of withstanding the oven temperatures also.
The other benefit of using this type of stainless steel cookware is that it produces what is called a fond. These are those brown sticky bits that you find clinging to the bottom of the pan that you can make a flavored sauce from by deglazing the pan at the end. This is something you don't get when using a nonstick pan.
Other things to consider when looking for the right stainless steel cookware for your kitchen are the size of the skillet and the weight. The preferred minimum size of a skillet should be at least 12 inches. It should be large enough that if you are preparing chicken or meat that the pieces fit in the pan without touching each other.
Having a good quality stainless steel cookware should be a least at medium weight like around 3 pounds or more. This type of cookware will distribute the heat evenly, easier to control the cooking process and will brown and sear meats beautifully.
Lightweight cookware can heat up too quickly and can be more difficult to control the cooking process. So if you prefer this style of cooking it will pay to have a good quality stainless steel cookware in your kitchen.
