How to choose the right Stainless Steel Cookware

• Match pot, pan and lid diameters to your existing hobs and induction ranges to maximise heat transfer and efficiency.
• Consider capacities and depths for your menu mix, from small milk pans and saucepans to larger stockpots for soups and batch cooking.
• Choose between standard stainless steel and 18/10 or chrome nickel steel when you need extra durability and resistance to staining.
• Look at handle design and rivet strength for safe lifting, especially when working with heavy sauces or full pans.
• Decide on non-stick versus plain stainless interiors depending on whether you prioritise searing performance or easy release and cleaning.
• Check oven-safe ratings and compatibility with gas, electric or induction so your cookware suits every station in the kitchen.

Care and maintenance

• Allow pans to cool slightly before washing and avoid shocking hot stainless steel with very cold water to reduce warping.
• Use non-abrasive pads and suitable detergents to protect the stainless finish and keep cookware looking professional front and back of house.
• Pre-soak heavily soiled pots and frypans, then wash or run through the dishwasher according to the manufacturer guidelines.
• Avoid metal tools on non-stick stainless steel frypans to prevent scratching and extend coating life.
• Dry cookware thoroughly after washing and store stacked with pan protectors or lids separated to prevent scuffs.
• Inspect handles and fixings regularly, tightening or replacing worn parts to maintain safe use in a busy kitchen.
