The best manufacturers and models of stainless steel pots

If you look closely at the variety of dishes in stores, we can say that stainless products have become widespread. The windows showcase products of different sizes and shapes, but one thing remains the same, to find the best pots rely on the main criteria - their reliability and ease of use.

How to choose a good stainless steel pan

No matter how beautiful the dishes look, their appearance remains far from the most important criterion when choosing. If you want to buy reliable dishes, you must carefully study the main selection criteria:

• Outer surface. It is matte, mirror and polished. Experts have noticed that polished surfaces are more common in the cheaper segment. Often unscrupulous manufacturers want to hide the poor quality of the product itself.
• The thickness of the bottom and walls. The heating ability of the dishes depends on this criterion. The thicker bottom warms up longer, but it does not deform. Thick walls can retain heat inside the pot for a long time.
• Convenience at capture of handles on the case and a cover. The best option are stainless steel handles with silicone inserts that are not afraid of high temperatures.
• Name of pan manufacturers. Now you can find on store shelves, you can find both domestic and foreign manufacturers.

Models are different in shape and volume.

To understand which company is better than a stainless steel pan, you need to carefully study the technical specifications of the most popular of them.
