What Makes is Cook Faster?
You may be thinking that faster cooking is not always better for you. After all, fast food is definitely not the healthiest of choices.
When it comes to cooking sets, they are just the vehicle for providing your choice of food in a tasty and efficient manner.
A few different factors play in to how quickly your food can be prepared. Those factors are: material, amount of heat and size of kitchen cookware.
Size of Chosen Kitchen Cookware
The size of your chosen pot or pan plays a big part in how long it will take to prepare your meal. In order to cook, the entire bottom surface of the cookware needs to heat evenly. For that reason, do not choose a pot or pan that is too large for the job.
If you are boiling water, dont choose a pot that is too large for the job or youll be waiting all night for that water to boil.
Cooking Set Material
The material or combination of materials your cookware is made from plays a big part in how efficient you are in the kitchen. Stainless steel is great in the kitchen, but stainless steel is not the best a conducting heat. For this reason, stainless steel cooking sets take more time to heat up and more heat to stay hot.
Aluminum and hard anodized cookware heat quickly and require less heat to cook the same things. Both aluminum and hard anodized cookware also retain heat better, allowing it to spread across the surface of your cookware and cook more evenly.
Just be aware of your handles! Buy a cooking set with good, heat resistant handles or else that heat will spread straight to your hand! Ouch!
When it comes to cooking, there is really no need to slave away for hours in the kitchen. Invest in aluminum or hard anodized cooking sets, or even better, a pressure cooker. Pressure cookers are specifically designed for cooking the same dishes quicker!
Get your precious time back and spend more time doing the things that you love.
