Cookware

Why is making a perfectly smooth durable material so hard?

>What is the best cookware set to get?
Just get the things you will actually need, not sets where you won't use half the shit.
>Any good ones out there?
Not sets unless you get actual high quality sets, and then you're probably getting a bunch of shit you won't use.

Get a couple heavy large saute pans (Teflon), a stock pot, and a couple smaller pots, and a frying pan (also heavy).

The heavier pans have better heat retention and won't warp as easily unless you are quenching it.

>>9071040
Because heating material causes it to expand and cooling it causes it to contract. Not only that, but the materials that are perfectly smooth typically don't expand all that well or retain heat.

you really dont need to spend a lot of money as long as you take care of your stuff and know how to cook.
i cringe when i see my sister cook. shes horrible.
i do have a tfal pan.

silver cookware with a stainless steel lining

>>9071729
Wrong, stainless steel is like 50x less thermally conductive than silver.

You'd be better off with 95% copper with a pure silver lining. Or if you're made of money and willing to drop $2k+ per piece of cookware just got pure sliver all throughout

Looking for some pans and pots to use on it, which are best?

>>9071013
Buy a carbon steel wok and use it for everything.

Best value would probably be going to thrift stores or marshalls or khols or some shit and getting 3-5ply stainless from all-clad, viking, etc.


Best for buying new would probably be 3-ply stainless from any number of companies.

Best for a high end home kitchen would be copper with stainless lining.

Best bar none for the uber rich is pure silver or copper with a silver silver lining.

Until eating food cooked in it starts making you sick.

>>9075334
Do you just never wash your pans you retard?

>>9075481
Yes, washing the toxic metal will make it not toxic.

Go ahead and scrub that lead, it'll make it safe to eat, too.

>>9075334
You'll never ingest enough through it seeping into your food for it to make a significant impact on your health. In trace amounts silver is harmless, even in larger amounts it wont kill you.

It's also naturally antimicrobial.
