Aluminium Frying Pans

In the world of frying pans, there are mainly 2 types to choose from:

• Cast iron or carbon steel pans are rather robust and can last a lifetime if looked after properly. They also provide a very even heat, perfect for cooking. You need to be cautious when cleaning them and ensure you don't leave them wet, as they can get damaged quickly.

• Non-stick pans come in a range of materials and prices and are what most people tend to use. They have a special coating that stops food from sticking and can usually go in the dishwasher. But, their durability can differ quite a bit.

Having one standard pan can be enough, but using different sized pans makes cooking a breeze. A low-sided pan works wonders for pancakes, while a high-sided pan is perfect for simmering meat sauces and similar dishes. So, explore the options and pick the pan that's best for the kind of cooking you'll be doing most often.
