Question:
When looking for new alloys / designs in sauté pans what should we be looking for?
— Nancy Johnson-Cramer
Answer:
I think if we buy solid, um, uh, cookware, uh, that's got, you know, multiple layers of metal, you know, at at least two layers, but very often it's gonna have three or four that's sandwiched together. Uh, often it's gonna be aluminum, stainless steel, aluminum, copper, aluminum, sort of, uh, uh, uh, of a layering in order to evenly distribute heat. Um, then we're good. Uh, we're gonna have cookware that can be used for the rest of our life. And, um, you know, we have, uh, these new companies that will introduce, uh, uh, they, they'll rearrange the order of the copper or the aluminum, or maybe add another layer of copper to the one that's already in there, uh, in order to get your attention, you know, every couple of years in order to sell a new line of products. And, um, I'm not saying that those products are inferior, um, but I am saying that they're probably unnecessary.
