The best ceramic cookware sets
The best guide to buy kitchenware. Non-stick or stainless? What are the best of the year? And the cheapest and recommended? I'll tell you everything below.
I am not going to recommend buying a kitchen set at Carrefour or Alcampo. Sorry. The reason is simple: I would not have them in my kitchen.
And you know, what you don't want for you, you don't want for anyone.
So which ones do I recommend you buy in 2020? The ones that last a lifetime, and even two.
Next, I will delve into the types of batteries, their advantages, and their disadvantages. And I will show you the best of each type so that you can buy with total peace of mind.
Non-stick cookware
Non-stick batteries have different coatings.
From least to most recommended:
Stone or granite
Copper
Ceramics
Titanium
Teflon
Do you recommend Teflon? You've gone mad? But it does have PFOA!
Quiet. Despite the campaign against Teflon, manufacturers continue to use it because the new coatings do not have this carcinogenic substance. They're safe. You can expand the information here .
With the anti-Teflon boom we have seen exponential growth in ceramic, titanium and copper cookware. The harsh reality is that they perform worse than the reviled Teflon. And they don't last long.
Whether you choose one or choose another, all non-stick cookers have these advantages and disadvantages:
Pros
Cheap
Light
Food does not stick
Cons
They last a short time
They can deform
Who are they recommended for?
They are the best option to start in the kitchen. Also if you suffer seeing the food stuck in the bottom of the pots. Or if you are looking for cheap kitchenware, at the price they have no competition.
Basic tips to increase its durability
With the non-stick casseroles you must follow these tips:
Clean them by hand with a soft sponge.
Never use metal utensils.
Try to cook over low or moderate heat.
And most importantly: change them if you see surface damage (bubbles, detached or discolored areas ...), a clear sign that they have come to an end.
The 3 best non-stick batteries of 2020
Stainless steel cookware
Curious, in the Carrefour kitchen section, I have never seen stainless steel pots. Never!
And it's not that Alcampo or Carrefour refuse to sell these pots, it's that people don't want to know anything about stainless steel. They are afraid of food sticking!
But all professional chefs use them. Why?
Because they are hard as stones, they withstand high temperatures without batting an eye and they are easy to clean (in black pots there is dirt that you don't see).
Cooks know that nothing happens if food grabs a little. What's more, that caramelized background provides a plus in stews or sauces. Also, when they want a food not to stick, they apply this trick .
The 18/10 stainless steel or surgical steel batteries are ecological, harmless and allow cooking in any heat source with full guarantee.

Who are they recommended for?
You will love them if you appreciate the quality and durability of the utensils. If you do not mind that when browning the meat before you cook it, grab a little at the bottom.
A stainless steel battery is a safe purchase for foodies at a certain level.
Be careful with what you buy, all that glitters is not gold
There are very cheap stainless steel batteries, under € 50, but they are not 18/10 stainless steel and they are so thin that they end up deforming.
Don't give you a cat for a hare.

What are the best induction batteries?
90% of kitchen batteries are suitable in any heat source. Although from experience, if you have induction or gas, you better buy some quality casseroles.
The difference is in the base.
Economy models are aluminum and add a thin 18/10 steel base. With aggressive heat sources (gas or induction) they deform. Has it never happened to you? To me several times.
