In late 2009 I switched from my old pots and pans that I had for years to non-stick cookware. A friend of ours had seen that I was still stuck back in the days of using pots and pans that your food stick to and bought me an inexpensive set of nonstick cookware for a Christmas gift. I had to say that once I started using nonstick cookware I have not went back. I have given all of my old pots and pans away and now enjoy cooking knowing that there won’t a mess (or not a big one at least) to cleanup once I done.
Just a couple weeks ago I received the Ingrid Hoffmann Hard Enameled 12-piece Cookware Set by T-fal for review. I was in HEAVEN when I opened the box. I felt like a kid in a candy store. Since I have a passion for cooking, this cookware set is perfect for many reasons. For one, they are nonstick. For two, they are RED. For three, they cook my food just the way I like it.
Here is what is included in this set:
* 5qt Dutch oven with lid | * 2qt Saucepan with lid |
* 1qt Saucepan with lid | * 10″ Deep saute pan with lid |
* 10″ Open frypan | * 8″ Open frypan |
* Spatula | * Spoon |
If you have never cooked with nonstick cookware, you are MISSING out. I am telling you this from my own experience. I think I would have enjoyed cooking more had I know the benefits of these types of pots and pans. One thing you have to remember when using non-stick cookware though is to use plastic. If you use metal, you are going to be doomed to scratching up the surface of the pan which in my opinion, ruins the pan. So what I have done is put away all the old metal utensils so they won’t ever touch my precious pots and pans. You just never know when someone is going to stop by, maybe try to help you out in the kitchen and scratch up your pans. I am also careful washing them because certain sponges can scratch the surface if you are not careful.
What I find neat about this line is that some of these products have rubber handles. Now that is spiffy! This is the first time I have owned pans as fancy as these. In addition to the cool rubber handles, some of these cool cookware products have been designed with the Thermospot technology. The little design in the center lets you know when your pan reaches a perfectly preheated temperature. Now how cool is that? This pan is perfect for making my grilled cheese sandwiches!
