Let’s take a quick look at some of the metals used in making cookware. There are non metallic materials used (especially for microwave use), such as ceramics, glass and silicone, but those will have to be addressed elsewhere.
All-Clad, Scanpan, GreenPan, Calphalon and Circulon are just some of the many leading manufacturers of cookware who have taken into consideration the benefits of aluminium-clad cookware and implemented it in some of their many ranges of cookware. Aluminium is well regarded for its heat conductivity and rust-free surface. However, it has been known to alter the taste of foods high in acid.
Carbon steel is used in certain ranges of cookware primarily because of its heat resistance. Low conductivity is an advantage with woks and paella pans, where it helps to keep part of the pan at a different temperature from the rest, but would be a disadvantage elsewhere.
Cast iron has many fundamental flaws, but an even greater number of attributes that makes it one of the most popular types of cookware on the market. It’s heavy, is known to rust and heats slowly. On the other hand, it heats evenly, is durable and can withstand high temperatures. This makes it perfect for construction of French ovens, terrines, tagines and a variety of camping cookware. Most family winter favourites are cooked best in cast iron pots and pans, from leading manufacturers Le Chasseur, Le Creuset, Lodge Cast Iron and Staub.
Copper is the preferred choice for many of today’s best chefs. Copper is not nearly as heavy as cast iron, and even more importantly it is a far superior conductor of heat. Hot spots rarely occur with copper, and a change in temperature on a stove top is instantly transferred to copper cookware. The results? Superior braising and browning of foods. The downside to copper, however, is it is easily the most expensive type of cookware available and copper is highly reactive with foods. To combat this, manufacturers of leading copper cookware including Scanpan and Jamie Oliver use a copper-based alloy in many of its highest selling ranges of cookware. Scanpan Coppernox and the Jamie Oliver Professional Series are prime examples.
