Posted: Sat Feb 05, 05 2:53 pm Post subject: Saucepans |
|
On the flimsy excuse that my saucepans have gone a funny colour in the dishwasher, and because I am having a nice shiny new kitchen, I am going to buy some nice shiny new saucepans to go with it.
What's good, what's not, and what should I get? Don't mind spending good money on good quality, providing it lasts. Easy to clean is paramount!
Stainless steel looks good, and will go with our appliances, but looks like hard work to keep shiny. I have le creuset casseroles, which are great, but think that its too heavy for pans in day to day use (and it's hard to clean). Non stick is far too delicate for me, and ends up looking a mess (and I don't need it) |

I know people say le creuset are great, and its fine for casseroles where I'm using two hands, but for every day use when I'm straining veg and stuff I'd like something more lightweight. There is no way I could lift them with one hand if they were full. Has anyone tried Jean Patrique stuff - its advertised in this months GW (page 118) - I've seen them before - you know, 10 peice set, yours for 99.99, save �380 oh and get this knife set worth 187.60 absolutely free (yeah, right!) order now while stocks last, blah, blah, blah.....
But I reckon even a basic set's going to cost around a hundred, so is it worth the risk? I reckon if they're selling it for 99 quid, then its wrth 99 quid, and I don't beleive a word of the rest of it. |

Anybody heard of the theory that the lining in non-stick pans, if over heated, gives off fumes toxic to birds? |
From the makers of Teflon, https://www.teflon.com/ :
"Fumes generated from any type of cookware, not just non-stick, can adversely affect pet birds under negligent cooking conditions. With unusually sensitive respiratory systems, birds can also be injured by many other kinds of household fumes, including aerosol sprays, burning butter or oils, and cleaning solvents. Therefore, bird owners need to take precautions to protect pet birds from cooking fumes by keeping birds out of the kitchen; observing good cooking practices in accordance with cookware manufacturers' recommendations, never allowing cookware to overheat, and keeping cooking areas well-ventilated at all times." |
