Ideally, the new dishes is a convenient, safe and lasts for years without causing trouble. But how to choose it and not get lost in all the diversity represented on the market? In fact, only need to define its requirements for working crockery and cutlery. We've put together a kind of TOP hostesses wishes to kitchen utensils.

In order to be durable

When you're holding a beautiful new dishes, I want to cook, create and surprise. And so it went on for a long time. How to achieve this? To get started you just need to select high-quality items that will not lose gloss in a month, will not crack or bend two, do not go to a landfill in a year. They originally should be strong, sturdy and, unfortunately, expensive.

In addition, you yourself must know and follow some rules to tableware and cookware will last you as long as possible:

• Even heat-resistant ceramics can not withstand sudden changes in temperature, so that the clay pots in the oven should be sent by pre-heated. Tableware such loads does not feel, so you can not worry about it.
• Thin pots, pans and inventory of aluminum and copper cookware elite not tolerate falls, especially on hard surfaces tile type. This is a fairly soft metal that can be easily deformed.
• Enameled sets look very nice due to the bright picture, but can quickly be rendered useless if the fragile coating begins to break away. Try and keep the dishes from knocks and do not use metal tools during cooking so as not to scratch the enamel.
• Traces of the knife or cutlery - nightmare any owner pan with non-stick Teflon coating.
• Cast iron cookware for the kitchen will last a really long time, if after washing you will lubricate it with fat.
• Stainless steel oven is highly undesirable, as quickly turn black and lose its attractive appearance with no chance of recovery. But on the electric hotplate it will be most welcome.

Today is especially popular modern and stylish dishes with a variety of non-stick coatings. In them the whole value of the utensils, so that destruction of the protective layer in one moment can turn a good frying pan or pot in your inventory, from which it is time to get rid of.

To avoid this, give preference to ceramic non-stick coating. No matter how strong was not Teflon, in scratch resistance and the critical heat it is noticeably inferior ceramics. And the lifetime it is small - from 2 to 6 years.

But if you do choose a polymer, such crockery and kitchen utensils, and require the use of special equipment. Suitable blades and spoons made of the same Teflon, heat resistant silicone or wood. These items do not leave scratches on the surface, so that the new dishes will last you much longer.

Does not stick to anything

The dream of every housewife. In fact, high-quality kitchen utensils originally made so that it does not burn the food. Manufacturers of this equip their pots and casserole with a thick bottom, providing a uniform distribution of heat from the burner. With aluminum objects this number is not always passes, but the stainless steel and cast iron show his best side.
Incidentally, professional kitchen utensils usually made of thin stainless steel, but with a thick bottom and rounded inner corners. Therefore, it does not burn anything, if you do not forget the dish on the plate included.
Pans and completely covered from the inside non-stick compositions. And each brand has a "high technology" - someone effective, and someone not very. If you need a really good dishes and kitchen utensils, preference is given to well-known brands. Only they can afford to scientific research and the use of expensive materials in the production.

Some kinds of dishes just "not compatible" with certain products. For example, in enameled pots always burn up dairy dishes and jam. In general, try to use these kits with pictures only for the preparation of soups, which can not burn on in principle.

To easily washed

It so happens that the kitchen utensils and accessories, even if they do not burn anything, it is still poorly washed from pollution. Kastryulnyh on the sides there are traces of soot on snow-white handles and blades in a month is not difficult to guess which ones use the most. To avoid this from happening, any cookware and kitchen utensils are made as smoothly as possible. On the surface of a collection should be inaccessible for cleaning places (thin grooves, gaps).

Cast iron is not so much capricious in matters of washing as picky about the lack of moisture. After cleaning pans and casserole sure to wipe dry and even the dishes can be lubricated with vegetable oil to the walls did not appear rust. But modern sets with enamel or Teflon coated by this insured.
Poor will be laundered table ceramics without glaze or have a cracked surface. But stylish tableware made of smooth glass without pictures and excessive decoration is easy to clean from any, even the most difficult dirt.

Functionality

With such a demand is not all agree, but many. Conveniently, when in one and the same form can be cooked on the hob stew or bake something for tea in the oven. Typically, this cookware has a removable or heat-resistant handles. Also useful utensil, which is suitable for cooking and can be used as dining utensils. This a la carte various pots of mouth-watering pictures, glass refractory shapes for casseroles and cocottes.
Very useful gadget for lids pans and pans - Teplokontrol. A small device on the handle allows you to assess the degree of heat and grab a hot bare hands. However, such systems are equipped with only those manufacturers brand models, whose cookware and kitchen utensils are much more expensive unsophisticated set of little-known brands. Batcher, applied range, and even a simple spout for draining - all those small utility have almost no influence on the price of kitchen utensils, but make its use more comfortable and enjoyable.

Security

Have you ever thought about this? And for good reason. Today there are so many new and not always harmless materials that do not give importance to them is simply impossible. But crockery and kitchen utensils are used daily and constantly in contact with the products that we use.

However, even a long time known to mankind materials can be dangerous for dining utensils production and labor, if it is wrong to treat them:

• The aluminum containers can not cook sour dishes. Borsch, oxalic casserole or cherry compote react with the walls of the cookware. A fall in our body harmful aluminas.
• Modern kitchen utensils and stainless steel accessories may contain some amount of allergen metals - nickel, if the manufacturer does not have in its absence.
• Plastic is increasingly used in the manufacture of containers for food storage and cooking in a microwave oven. However, it is not necessary to choose the cutlery. At the bottom of the vessel itself must be the image, allowing the use in the microwave, say, or in the freezer.
• Teflon is a form of polymers and only seems harmless. In fact, tableware and kitchen utensils with a PTFE layer with a very high temperature heating (160.. 230 + ° C) emit harmful substances affecting live cells of an organism.

To answer the question, what is the safest dishes in the kitchen, you just need to turn to a completely inert material - ceramics and glass. No chemical reactions or toxic emissions, but environmental friendliness.

But even here, it should be clarified as far as your future utensils durable and heat resistant, because this will depend on the possibility of its application. Dining room and a fireproof dish is very easy to confuse. By the way, be careful with pottery decorated with bright pictures - some types of paint are dangerous to health.

Advice to those who first acquired iron tools: obligatory ignited it, the Gulf oil. The fact is that the crockery and kitchen utensils made of cast iron are produced in special molds - molds, which are processed by the technical grease. And it must be removed. Poisoned by residues of oil, you certainly do not have time, because the first meal prepared just can not be there.

Finally, a few tips

Do not forget, crockery and kitchen utensils are selected to work in certain conditions. And these conditions create a cooking surface and the oven so that it is on their implementation should be guided with the purchase of utensils:

• Gas stoves work well in a team with all metal objects, but bad for the ceramics and glass (even a heat-resistant).
• Microwave oven use metal does not allow at all. Here it is just better to choose the clay, and glass containers. Also suitable cookware and tableware made of special plastic or silicone.
• Electric furnaces involve the use of glass ceramic with pots and pans, iron, aluminum and steel. But the bottom they should be at least 3 mm.
• induction cookers They work only with ferromagnetic models in the bottom of which there is a special picture, schematically the coil.

Buying a frying pan, especially with a thin base, pay attention to its shape. A good sign - a small concavity in the center. In this case, the bottom heating will be completely flat and stable. If it is smooth initially, vygnetsya pan out and will "ride" on the plate.

Attention to detail, that is, on the handles. Often, crockery and kitchen utensils are attractive in appearance, are completely uncomfortable in everyday life. Ergonomic plastic "ears" pans during cooking begin to exude an unbearable smell of the chemical, but for silicone pads sometimes it is simply impossible to take.
It is best to behave hollow handles made of steel, inside which there are insulating air layer. Copes with its task and wood if they will not lick the torch flame. However, over time they may change color, but it can even be beautiful. If you are not sure about the resistance of a material, it is wise to opt for a model with removable handles the kitchen.

Do not underestimate the importance of covers. This equipment is also worthy of your attention, because it determines the flavor and aroma of cooked dishes in the kitchen. The cover should be the same size with tableware, fit tightly, leaving no gaps, and have special holes for depressurization - then it will not dance on the pan during boiling.

Choose a good dish to your own kitchen is really easy: you have to take into account the hundreds of different little things and nuances. But if it is correct to address and find a suitable use for each subject, kitchen utensils will faithfully serve your family for years to come.
