I grew up in a house of foodies. My dad loves to cook, and one of my older brothers is now a chef, and so, cooking wasn’t something I did when I was growing up. Instead, I left that to the professionals. And because they were so invested in cooking, they both invested in nice cookware. The cast iron skillet was not to be washed with soap (I was told several times), and make sure you’re using oil in this pan, butter in that one. Don’t put the heat on high for this pan, keep it on medium to low. Needless to say, it was enough to turn me off of cooking for a few years.我在美食家中长大。我父亲喜欢做饭，而我的一个哥哥现在是厨师，所以，我长大后并不是做饭的。相反，我将其留给专业人士。而且由于他们对烹饪的投入如此之大，所以他们俩都投资了精美的炊具。铸铁煎锅不要用肥皂洗（有人告诉我好几次），并确保您在该锅中使用油，在其中使用黄油。不要将锅的热量放高，将其保持在中低水平。不用说，这足以使我几年不做饭了。
But now that I have my own kitchen, I love to cook. And I’ve also discovered why they were so strict about their cooking gear (and only really, about that). Using the wrong type of cookware can not only ruin a recipe, it can ruin the cookware itself. Taking care of your cookware is important, sure, but you’ll also get some more benefits of actually cooking things with the right instruments. And so, to help you parse through the nitty gritty and help up your cooking skills, I’m answering the age old question: What is the difference between stainless steel and nonstick cookware, and more importantly, why does it even matter?但是现在有了自己的厨房，我喜欢做饭。而且我还发现了他们为什么对烹饪用具如此严格（而且实际上如此）。使用错误类型的炊具不仅会破坏食谱，还会破坏炊具本身。当然，保管炊具很重要，但是使用正确的工具实际烹饪食物也会为您带来更多好处。因此，为了帮助您解析细节，并提高烹饪技巧，我在回答一个古老的问题：不锈钢和不粘炊具之间的区别是什么，更重要的是，为什么它如此重要？
NONSTICK COOKWARE不粘炊具
Odds are, you have a nonstick skillet. I love mine. They are coated with Teflon that are now PFOA-free, so they are safe to use, although, if the coating does begin to chip, it’s probably a good idea to replace it sooner rather than later. They are convenient because they are extremely easy to clean since things...don’t stick to them even if you don’t add butter or oil. However, if you turn up the heat, it won’t sear or brown foods the way you’ll want it too, and it will just ruin the coating. Furthermore, you can’t deglaze meats to create delicious sauces from their browned morsels. They are a little less expensive than a stainless steel alternative but they will also degrade faster. They really are only meant for delicate items that you’d cook over medium to low heats, like eggs, crepes, pancakes, delicate fish, or something like a risotto. But look: in a pinch, they get the job done.奇怪的是，您有一个不粘锅。我爱我的。它们涂有现已不含PFOA的Teflon涂层，因此使用安全，不过，如果涂层确实开始崩裂，则尽早更换它可能是个好主意。它们很方便，因为它们很容易清洁，因为它们……即使不添加黄油或油，也不会粘在它们上。但是，如果将热量调高，它也不会像您想要的那样烧焦或变黑，它只会破坏涂层。此外，您不能给肉上釉以用褐色的食物创造出美味的酱汁。它们比不锈钢替代品便宜一些，但它们降解速度也更快。它们实际上仅适用于您用中低火烹饪的精致食物，例如鸡蛋，薄饼，煎饼，精致的鱼或意大利调味饭。但请注意：紧要关头，他们完成工作。
Food 52 Greenpan Set of 2 食物52格林潘2件套
Something that has always bugged me about nonstick cookware is it feels like little design goes into them. Food 52 and Greenpan collaborated on this absolute beauty, that is extremely functional too. It’s a little thicker than normal so heat distributes evenly and it's made with ceramic nonstick without any of those nasty chemicals. Plus, just look at that sage blue exterior and tell me it wouldn’t look wonderful on your stovetop.关于不粘炊具的问题一直困扰着我，感觉好像没有什么设计在里面。Food 52和Greenpan共同致力于这种绝对的美，这也非常实用。它比正常的要厚一点，所以热量分布均匀，它是由不粘任何陶瓷的不粘锅制成的。另外，只看那蓝色的鼠尾草外观，并告诉我在您的炉灶上看起来并不妙。
STAINLESS STEEL COOKWARE不锈钢炊具
So here’s the crazy thing: stainless steel pans can be nonstick, if you’re doing it right. If you heat up your pan with oil or butter until it’s hot enough then add your food, things will not stick. Stainless steel pans can withstand really high temperatures, so you can sear and brown things like meat in them, and you can also add water to the pan to deglaze the brown bits from the bottom and create a delicious sauce. Also, since they don’t have a coating like a nonstick, they last significantly longer. The downside is really just that you’ll have to pay a little more attention while you’re cooking. You need to make sure that you’re heating them properly and adding oil, too. And the cleaning can be a little more arduous, since brown bits can be difficult to clean off. But other than that, stainless steel pans are pretty amazing.所以这是疯狂的事情：如果做得对，不锈钢锅可能会不粘。如果用油或黄油加热锅，直到锅足够热，然后再添加食物，东西就不会粘了。不锈钢锅可以承受很高的温度，因此您可以在锅中烧焦和变褐，例如肉，也可以在锅中加水，使底部的棕色食物脱釉，制成可口的酱汁。此外，由于它们没有像不粘涂层一样的涂层，因此它们的使用寿命明显更长。不利的一面实际上是，您在烹饪时必须多加注意。您需要确保正确加热它们并添加油。而且清洁可能会更加艰巨，因为棕色碎屑可能难以清除。但是除此之外，不锈钢锅令人惊叹。
Made in Stainless Steel不锈钢制成
These are absolute workhorses. Made with 5-layers of metal, it can create a restaurant quality sear, or roast in an oven up to 800 degrees. Don’t worry about touching the handle, it’s designed to stay cool, and is ergonomic so the pan has some balance if you’re shaking it around. It can fit an entire spatchcocked chicken or just a bunch of chicken breasts at once. You’ll have this pan for life if you take proper care of it.这些是绝对的主力军。它由5层金属制成，可以制造出餐厅般的烧味，或在高达800度的烤箱中烤制。不用担心触摸手柄，它的设计旨在保持凉爽，并且符合人体工程学原理，因此，如果您摇晃锅具，锅将具有一定的平衡性。它可以一次装满整只鸡或只一串鸡胸肉。如果妥善保管，您将拥有一生的锅。
