plástico pueden derretirse o ampollarse si la llama llegara subir por los lados de la olla. Se pueden encontrar las ollas de calidad profesional en tiendas de suministro para restaurantes y tiendas especializadas en artículos de cocina. Todos los utensilios de cocina deben tener las siguientes características: buena conductividad de calor, buen equilibrio, diámetro de la base de tamaño correcto, una base plana, pesada y una tapa que cierre bien.

Para lograr los mejores resultados, se debe contener la llama debajo del fondo de la olla.

El aluminio y el cobre son materiales de ollas que conducen el calor de un modo rápido y uniforme. Estos metales se encuentran a veces en la base o en el centro de la olla entre partes de acero inoxidable.

Figura 19: Olla de base plana

Una base plana y pesada es más apta de mantenerse plana cuando se calienta. Una base de olla que esté deformada, dentada o estriada, o que sea demasiado liviana, calentará de modo desigual. Caliente y enfríe las ollas gradualmente para evitar cambios repentinos de la temperatura, lo cual tiende a deformar las ollas. No agregue agua fría a una olla caliente.

Una tapa bien ajustada acorta el tiempo de cocinar y facilita el uso de ajustes más bajos de calor.
