How many pans does a good housewife need

No matter how you go to the store (or to the site) kitchen utensils - your eyes diverge from a huge selection of all sorts of appliances, tools and materials. Is there any basic set of, say, frying pans, which could be used to prepare all the dishes that are standard for Russian cuisine? I will answer this question: yes, it exists! And, of course, I will share it with you.

First of all, we need three most standard pans, which would differ from each other only in size. The material can be any - on what you prefer to cook.

Reference! Granite pans are best to choose with a thick bottom, it is undesirable to fry food without oil on the ceramic, stainless has a low thermal conductivity, and cast iron, although considered to be a classic and versatile material, requires special care.

A small skillet is indispensable for those who live alone. It is very convenient to cook or reheat one portion of the dish. Such a pan is great for making breakfasts, takes up little space, and washing it is almost the same as washing a large plate.

Medium is the most standard variant for an ordinary family of 3-4 people. In this pan, you can cook almost all known dishes - of course, those who need a pan.

A large one is suitable for large families, but for everyone else, it will also come in handy if necessary to prepare meals for the future or for the arrival of a large number of guests.

Its name itself speaks about the destination, but you can also fry pancakes, pancakes, cheese cakes and fried eggs on it. But the main dish, of course, are pancakes.

Due to the low rim, they are easy to turn over, and at the end of roasting, they easily slide off the plate. Such a frying pan is very light, which will especially appeal to those who turn the pancakes not with a spatula, but by tossing it upwards.

However, remember that it is better to enumerate dishes and limit it in order not to spoil their taste. In addition, the pancake pan requires careful handling, it should never be scratched, it should also be washed carefully using a soft sponge and detergent without aggressive additives.

Cast aluminum is a good material for it. The pan of it is heavier than the standard, with a non-stick coating, but it evenly distributes heat over the surface, which means that the pancakes will turn out not only tasty and fried, but also beautiful.

Such a pan is needed not only to those who love to cook Chinese food. It is ideal for adherents of a healthy diet, since it can be used for roasting without oil and is able to keep all its vitamins in a dish.

Reference! To do this, it is necessary during the entire cooking time to continuously stir the food until fully cooked. It looks especially beautiful when you do it without the use of additional devices, just holding the griddle by the handle over the fire and throwing up its contents, but you still need to master this skill.

If you need to cook a dish in a skillet, and you do not have it, then wok will be a great alternative. In addition to traditional oriental dishes, such as rice or noodles with seafood, pasta with sauce and risotto is perfectly cooked in it.

Also complete with it can go round grill for those who love grilled dishes and wants to cook them at home. And if you pour water into the pan, you can cook very tasty and healthy dishes for a couple.

Wok, as a rule, has a large size, so you can cook for future use or for a large number of people.

Much more suitable option for cooking steaks than the previous one. It differs from a standard griddle with a ribbed bottom. This is necessary so that all the fat from the meat flows into the grooves, while the delicious juice remains inside. Even famous chefs admit that they would not be able to cook the same tasty, juicy and tender steak like on a grill on any other griddle. On others, it turns out dry and poorly roasted.

The most popular forms of grill pan are square and oval. Much less often it is produced in the form of a circle, but here it is to the taste of the owner. It is also important, and how many dishes are planned for it. In this pan, you can fry not only meat steaks, but also vegetables, fish, bacon and much more, and the result will be no worse than in restaurants. At the same time on it you can cook without oil - another plus for fans of healthy food.

The ideal material for the grill pan is cast iron. In any case, it must be hard enough to warm up evenly and to roast the meat properly, because in this case, an appetizing crisp will also appear on it.

This set of pans should be enough to translate the most daring culinary desires!
