How to Cook with Different Pans

By Galendalyn Rosenbaum

A well seasoned and cured cooking pan will ensure cooking is more fun, faster to clean, and it will craft tastier food. Nothing is more frustrating than cooking a delicious meal only to have it stick to the cooking pan. There is a saying in the cooking business; Hot pan " Cold Oil.

This means that you should never put the oil into a cold pan before heating it up. Heating the cooking pan before adding the oil, then immediately putting in the food, will ensure youll have significantly less sticking. Seasoning the pan before it first use, will ensure you superior results.

Stainless Steel Cooking Pans " Unfortunately stainless steel cannot be seasoned because of the hardness of the metal. Honestly I cannot think of any restaurants that use stainless steel cooking pans. Although they are excellent for storing your food since the food will not taste like the metal, they are truly horrible for cooking. I would advise you to simply avoid them completely.

Aluminum - Before using aluminum pans make sure that you wash the pan with soap and water using a sponge or cloth. You should rinse and dry off the pan completely. Next you want to heat up the pan until it is hot and place two ounce of oil inside of it. Swirl the oil around inside of the pan until you get a nice thin coating, now let the pan cool. You should now remove the oil and repeat these steps one more time. At this point, never again use soap to clean the pan. When it needs to be washed, simply use warm water and dry paper towels, if some of the food happens to stick, that is fine, simply grab a paper towel and wipe it out carefully.

By making the effort to season your cooking pans, you will experience a much more amazing cooking results, and increase the life of your investment. I would spend a bit more money and buy good quality cooking pans then take care of them, in the long run you will be significantly happier.
