How to choose cookware?如何选购厨具?

When purchasing cookware you will need to think about the surface material,pan construction material,and the overall appearance and design.

选购厨具的时候,要看厨具表层的材料、构造材料、外表设计等。

Surface Material

表层材料

The most prominent cookware surface options available in the marketplace are nonstick,stainless steel,and hard anodized aluminum.

市面上,厨具的表层材料主要有不粘底的、不锈钢的和铝合金的。

Nonstick pans release food better and are easier to clean than stainless steel and hard anodized aluminum. Every home cook should have at least one good nonstick pan on their pot rack.

不粘底的厨具,相比不锈钢和铝合金,食物更容易出锅,便于清洗。每家至少应该有一个不粘底的厨具。

Stainless steel cookware are the best choice for browning red meats,fish and poultry as well as for simmering your favorite sauces.

不锈钢厨具是煎烤红肉、鱼肉和禽肉最佳选择,也是煨炖酱汁的好工具。

Hard anodized aluminum cookware surfaces are sealed through the anodizing process. The hardening and sealing produced by anodizing creates a cooking surface that is easy to clean and will brown meats sufficiently.

铝合金厨具表层经过阳极化处理,形成硬化的表层,方便清洗污垢,也助于有效地炒菜。

Other considerations

其他因素

Make sure that the pans are oven proof to 400 or 500 degrees with stainless steel handles,make sure the lid is tight fitting and that the pan feels good in your hand. Look at the overall design:what design facts do you find appealing,what design aspects make the pan safer to move around,pick up and prevent burns?

挑选平底锅的时候,要选择耐温400至500度以上的,带有不锈钢手柄的,手感好的,还要确保锅盖能盖得严实。要看整体的设计:什么是自己喜欢的造型设计,而什么又是安全、实用的产品设计。
