Its affordable! - You're paying less money than if you were to buy this product brand new! Long lasting and durable! - Stainless steel is a great option for non-toxic, durable cookware ideal for boiling, sautéing, and baking. It is especially good for small-batch baking as it retains heat well and cooks foods evenly. Corrosion ResistanceOne of the best and most well-known characteristics of stainless steel is that it is extremely corrosion-resistant. When it was first created by Harry Brearley in 1913 it was spoken of as the world’s first ‘rustless steel’. The addition of chromium content was the key component that gave stainless steel this quality and was seen as the major breakthrough in its development. Stainless steel has evolved a great deal since then with many different types available. Fire and heat resistanceStainless steel has this attribute because of its oxidation resistance, even at high temperatures. This enables it to keep its strength under harsh and extreme temperature conditions very effectively. Chromium plays an important role in this respect and makes stainless steel a great choice with fire resistance and fire prevention in mind. It’s a material that outperforms the likes of galvanised steel and aluminium in this regard. HygieneStainless steel is an extremely hygienic material as it is extremely easy to clean and sanitise. Its smooth, sheen-like and non-porous surface means that dirt, grime and bacteria struggle to establish themselves on its exterior! When they do, they can very easily be wiped away. The ease of this cleaning and maintenance makes stainless steel an excellent choice in environments where strong hygiene is vital. This is why professional kitchens are made almost exclusively of stainless steel and why you’ll see it relied on heavily in hospitals, laboratories, factories etc.! Impact resistance and strengthStainless steel is an extremely tough and highly durable material with high impact resistance. Part of this is that stainless steel has low susceptibility to brittleness at high and low temperatures. Not only does this mean that the material will keep its shape, but also its melting point can be more easily welded, cut, fabricated etc. It’s also a material that’s commonly used in cryogenic applications given its strength in cold working conditions showing just how strong a material it is! Beautiful appearence! Ever since its creation, stainless steel has been seen as an elegant, attractive and modern material! Many see it as a material that has a brightness that resonates with a sense of purity! Stainless steel is a material that has stood the test of time! Stainless steel has become more and more popular as a functional and ornamental choice in residences and commercial properties around the world! It is a material that complements and works well with most other materials, styles and colours! SustainabilityStainless steel is usually made from about 70% scrap metal meaning its foundations come from that which isn’t used! Stainless steel is 100% recyclable in its original form which means it can be repurposed should it stop serving its original function. It won’t leach toxic chemicals like other materials during the recycling process. In doing so, it reduces the need for mining the rarer elements that play an important role in the creation of stainless steel! Long term valueWhen you consider the longevity of stainless steel as well as all the other factors mentioned, the total life cycle cost of the material stacks up well! Retains heat well - One of the best options for stainless steel cookware is a 3-ply design layering stainless steel, aluminum, and stainless steel. This layering helps to seal in the aluminum so you don’t need to worry about leaching while harnessing aluminum’s better heat conductivity to make a more homogenous cooking surface. This type of design is easier to clean, dishwasher safe, sturdier and more polished than cheaper cookware made purely with low-quality stainless steel. Easy to clean and care for - Stainless steel is easy to clean and care for, making it especially helpful for beginning cooks, such as students living far from home for the first time. Just clean with hot soapy water after use, or scrub with steel wool to remove any oil that has built up. LOWERS CHOLESTEROL Steaming removes fat from the meat so it can be easily discarded whereas conventional cooking methods like grilling, baking or frying, cook fat into the meat. Getting rid of fat makes the meat lower in calories and cholesterol. Steaming removes the need for cooking oil or fat, which results in lighter and healthier meals. PRESERVES THE FIBER, COLOUR AND FLAVOUR OF VEGETABLES By steam-cooking, vegetables are kept as close to their natural raw state as possible, whilst still heating through thoroughly. This not only stops vegetables from turning into a mash or purée, but it also lets them to retain their original colour, taste, juices and freshness. If you want to add some aromatic flavour to the food, you can add herbs and spices to the water. RETAINS THE VITAMINS AND MINERALS Many of the vitamins and minerals found in vegetables are lost with some conventional methods of cooking. Steaming ensures vitamins such as vitamin B, riboflavin, thiamine, niacin, biotin, B12, pantothenic acid and vitamin C, as well as minerals such as calcium, phosphorous, potassium, and zinc are retained. IT’S QUICK AND EASY By cooking over a single heat source, you can have different layers of food stacked one on top of the other, saving time, energy and money! KEEPS YOUR KITCHEN CLEAN No oil, no smoke, no mess - cleaning up is easy when steaming. Faster CookingFrying food is generally quick. You heat up the oil to the required temperature, immerse the food, and in a relatively short time, your food is ready. Compared to other cooking methods, such as roasting and baking, deep-frying is fast. A whole chicken, for instance, that might take an hour and a half to roast in an oven, can be cooked in 30 minutes or less in a deep fryer. The rapid speed makes this technique a great method for cafes and restaurants, where cooked food has to be turned out regularly and quickly. Improved FlavorThe high temperatures that occur with frying ensure two processes happen to enhance the food's taste, namely: The Maillard reaction: This is a non-enzymatic reaction that occurs between sugars and proteins when exposed to high temperatures. It makes browning of some foods, as well as altering the taste, texture, and aroma. Caramelization: Another type of non-enzymatic browning reaction, caramelization is a process by which volatile chemicals are released, resulting in a characteristic caramel flavor. Enhanced AppearanceA particularly appealing aspect of deep frying is the golden and umber hues that are made by the cooking method. The browning process is another aspect of the Maillard reaction and makes the food more appetizing in appearance. Fried chicken, potato fries, and fritters all benefit from the attractive color changes deep-frying brings. The Moisture's Sealed InSome cooking methods, such as roasting, have a tendency to dry food, especially if the food is overcooked, or proper care isn't taken. Deep-frying creates a crust that seals in the moisture. This is achieved through the high temperature of the oil drying the surface of the food. The use of coatings such as breading and batter can also be effective at helping to ensure the food doesn't dry out. The combination of a crusty outside and tender inside is what gives deep-fried food its textural appeal. The pleasing consistency of potato fries or donuts, for instance, is as key to their appeal as their taste, aroma, and appearance. Meats, such as chicken, are pleasingly tender when fried. Energy and Cost EfficiencyThe rapid speed of deep-frying as a cooking method means you're usually heating for a shorter amount of time and therefore saving energy. You can also use the oil in a deep fryer multiple times, whereas with shallow frying the fat usually has to be thrown away after one use. Modern deep fryers are able to filter out the crumbs and smaller pieces of food debris. Easy and StraightforwardDeep frying usually requires little or no prep and is considered an easy and uncomplicated cooking method. Typically, all you have to do is wait for the oil to reach the right temperature, immerse your food, and then just wait until it's ready. There is no need to monitor the food closely and keep flipping it, as you do with shallow frying. You don't have to keep basting it to keep it from drying out, as with roasting. Deep frying is a hassle-free process with only the only major variables to control being the temperature and timing. Nutritional Issues Can Be MinimalizedHealth concerns about deep-frying are generally focused on the fat that is absorbed by the food during the cooking process. However, the amount of fat that's soaked up can be minimalized by cooking at a high temperature. The oil's heat then cooks the food and dries the surface, and only a small amount of oil remains on the crust. Vegetables are diet-friendly foods rich in nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, and fiber. They can help you lose weight and manage blood cholesterol levels. Adding extra oil to cook vegetables is not the best approach as it can elevate your cholesterol level and increase weight. Whereas on the other hand, boiled vegetables are a great source of fiber that helps boost the digestive process – thereby helping you to lose weight. Doctors advise heart patients to manage their cholesterol levels through a cholesterol-free diet. Boiled vegetables are a great choice for them, and for the rest of us too! Boiled vegetables are easy to digest, and they help prevent acidity and inflammation. Boiling foods help convert complex food compounds into simpler compounds – making them easier to digest. This also results in less acid production during the process of digestion. Boiled food is also a great option for individuals suffering from diseases such as diarrhoea, infection, and fever. They help treat infection, by providing hydration and essential nutrients. Another advantage is that boiling food makes for easy and rapid cooking. You just need to boil your food and eat or pack and store in the refrigerator. You can then use them for up to 3 days afterwards. Who doesn’t desire glowing skin and beautiful hair? Thousands of emerging beauty product advertisements make it seem impossible to get such skin and hair without a concealer and fancy conditioner – but it’s actually quite easy to attain them if you know the right way. Nature is the best option and when it comes to beauty; with fruits and boiled vegetables being your best choices! Boiling removes any dirt or harmful substance from the food – giving you nutritious food, free from toxins and fat. Boiled vegetables contain a good amount of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds that help fight acne and bring that special glow to your skin and hair. Certain vegetables and fruits possess a good amount of folate that help boost hair health and growth. Stops Kidney Stone Formation Diet rich in oxalates is a main cause of kidney stones. Certain foods contain relatively high amounts of oxalates that can hasten kidney stone formation. Boiling removes about 87% of oxalates from food thereby preventing kidney stone formation. Boiling can also help to treat the kidney stone. You just need to take boiled food with your other treatments to reduce inflammation and help treat the disease. in theory you can see how a dish is doing through glass. In practice, glass fogs lids, though there are workarounds like letting a lid fog up then quickly opening and closing it to shake down condensation. Glass lids are better for simmering. Glass is a better insulator than stainless steel. Why should you buy from me? I have alot of experience selling products. I've sold many. I live in a smoke-free, kid free, and pet-free home.
