mistera

Hi all I'm back. I started a thread not that long ago about copper vs stainless steel not realising that I had been preempted by about 9 years. Anyway I have since received some interesting responses and a long tutorial re the pros and cons of both. I'd like to thank the people who provided me with this information. Having read them all I find myself even more in the dark than I was before, but after re-reading the post another 6 or 7 times I'm starting to get a feel for what would possibly be my choice given what I want to cook. I'm into trying exotic sauces at the moment and most of what I have read would seem to suggest that copper is the way to go for that. However, I am taking on board what other members of this forum have got to say about their experiences. I've also discovered that copper saucepans today are quite a bit more sophisticated than they were previously. They are considerably lighter and the heat distribution is much more comprehensive. All of this is not to say that I would select copper over stainless steel or aluminium, but for the particular job of sauces I think copper is the way to go. Of course I stand corrected if someone can bring me up-to-date on current info I may have missed. My only problem now is to find out exactly what to buy in the copper range. Can anyone help there.

Hi all Thank you for all your contributions. I have been away for a couple of weeks and have not yet had a chance to digest all of your comments. Give me a few more days and "I'll be back"

I have a passion for all forms of cooking having been inspired by career opportunities to travel and taste the culinary delights of variousl cuisines. Of course tasting and cooking are two differnent things. I am currently trying copperware cooking utensils to see which is the best for cooking particular meals. I've only just gotten into it so I haven't moved very far down the track. and would grateafully accept any feedback I can get from people that have been there and can tell me which in their opinion gave them the best cooking experience. Copperware....................or.........................Stainless steel. Which food would be best cooked in which utensil.
