Pots and Pans
Greg Foot investigates the bewildering variety of pots and pans. What are the pros and cons of the various materials? And are there still health concerns around non-stick?
What cookware is best for your kitchen?
There is a bewildering array of pots and pans on offer: stainless steel saucepans, cast iron skillets, even 10-in-1 cookware systems that use layers of various materials. But do they deliver on their promises to help you reach culinary bliss? Listener Emily wants to know if the ones she's seen live up to the hype or are just marketing BS. What do all the materials do? What about cleaning them? And just what is the much-vaunted 'hot spot' that lights up at a certain temperature?!
There are also lingering concerns about non-stick coatings. Are they safe? And what about the alternatives if you're not sure?
Please do keep your suggestions coming of wonder products for me to investigate.
