The choice to make will be; between steel, aluminum, non-stick aluminum or copper pans. Or you could opt for a set made up of different materials.

Let's see the characteristics of each one:

Steel pots are perfect for boiling dishes and are particularly used for the preparation of pasta and total immersion foods.

Aluminum pans are perhaps among the most popular in the world. widespread thanks to their lightness and practicality; and very high capacity; thermal. For this reason all the ingredients placed in an aluminum pot will have a homogeneous and uniform cooking.

The non-stick aluminum pans are designed to make sure that the food is cooked. that the foods do not stick to the bottom but cook optimally in just a few minutes.

Copper pans, on the other hand, beautiful to look at for their vintage touch, are usually chosen by those who want to keep the flavor of the dishes unchanged. It also turns out to be one of the most popular materials. durable over time. They are perfect for creaming (try making a risotto in a copper pan)

Very often we do not consider this important feature which instead is; essential for the purposes of a product that is perfectly adaptable to your kitchen and to the type of cooking.

For this reason, you should always choose a set of pots suitable for induction cooking or traditional cooking.

If you have an induction hob, you must be careful to check that the elements present in the pan set can be used with it. Among the various types, the Ballarini pots for induction are excellent.

On the other hand, if you have a traditional gas hob it is not necessary. It is necessary to purchase a set of saucepans also suitable for induction hobs, thus saving money; on the final price.
