How to choose the dishes depending on what your plate? This rather simple question that bewilders many, and who on the contrary, not much thinking to buy the first available and are often surprised that the dishes toast (Or cooking) is not effective. Let's start with the basic: what is your plate? Gas or electric? 1) If you have a gas – you're lucky, absolutely any dishes can be used on your plate. You should only pay attention to thickness of the walls and floor, as well as the outer coating. The thicker the bottom, the heat is evenly distributed, ie food will not be burnt where the fire more and vice versa. This is especially true for large pans, the bottom of which the fire burners can not fully grasp. Also, the thickness of the walls and floor affects the life of non-stick coatings, because protects the cover from sharp changes in temperature. As for the outer cover, in the case of a gas stove it's pretty important. When using cookware for gas stove is the most severe contamination outside of the dish. Therefore, the best to choose an external non-stick and try to poktytie bottom dishes would be as smooth, without any relief, that is, either paint or enamel or stainless steel bottom (preferably with a minimum figure) 2) If you have a flat electric stove, in this case, there are options: – conventional electric oven with iron 'pancakes' – almost like a case of gas, any suitable dishes, the only difference is that you should not choose a very thick bottom, so as to warm it need more znergii, and the effect of a thick bottom you will not get as pancakes heated rather uniformly, and on this plate is no sharp changes in temperature, for the reason that pancakes are heated iron for a long time (compared with other types of plates).
