FAQ List
A typical cookware set includes a variety of pots and pans, such as a saucepan, a stockpot, a frying pan, and sometimes a sauté pan or a Dutch oven.
Stainless steel is a popular choice for its durability and even heat distribution, while non-stick coatings are great for easy cleanup. Cast iron and copper are also good options for their heat retention and conductivity.
The size of the cookware set you should buy depends on your cooking needs. A smaller set with just a few pots and pans may be sufficient for a single person or a small family, while a larger set with more pieces may be better for someone who enjoys entertaining or cooking for a large family.
It is not recommended to use metal utensils on non-stick cookware, as they can scratch the surface and damage the non-stick coating. Instead, use silicone, plastic, or wooden utensils.
To care for your cookware set, always follow the manufacturer's instructions. Generally, avoid using abrasive cleaners or steel wool, as these can scratch the surface. Hand wash your cookware with mild soap and warm water, and dry it thoroughly before storing. Avoid stacking pots and pans inside each other, as this can scratch the surface as well.
