Cookware

There is no one brand of utensil that is best for all people. Knowing something about pan materials and construction will help you select the right cooking utensils for your needs.

l

l

Turn it over and check the bottom of the pan by placing a ruler across it.

Rotate the ruler in all directions. There should be no gaps between the pan and the ruler.

2.The pan should have straight sides and a tight-fitting lid.

3.Choose medium to heavy gauge (thickness] pans that are fairly lightweight. Remember that a very heavy pan will be even heavier when filled with food.
