SuppliedWhen it comes to pots, you need to have a combination of functionality, look, feel, and heft.
Whether you are cooking for a loved one or for yourself, you need to have the right pot to do the job.
The Getaway reviewed the top five pots on on the market to ensure you have what it takes to cook your delicious creations in an easy to use and efficient device.
5) Good Cook 06182 Kitchen Basics Stainless Steel Stock Pot
This pot looks exactly like the one your grandma used to have that would be used to make all your favourite foods.
Nostalgia-factor aside, this 16 quart Good Cook series pot boons some fantastic features including it being dishwasher safe, made from durable stainless steel, and weighing only 1.25 kilograms.
4) Cooks Standard NC-00350 Stainless Steel Cookpot
This is a stellar pot!
Not only does it look great in your kitchen with its shine and chic accroutements, it is entirely functional. It is dishwasher safe and has durable handles that don’t heat up, even as your food reaches its boiling point. The durable glass lid allows you to see all the fantastic action happening inside the pot.
The only drawbacks are its steep price point and that it is designed specifically to be used on induction stovetops.
3) AmazonBasics Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron Dutch Oven Pot with Lid
While you may not want to tell professional chefs that you are using an AmazonBasics product, this pot holds its own against more expensive counterparts.
The seven quart cast-iron pot is perfect for braising, baking, roasting, or any regular old-cooking function. The best feature is its two loop side handles making grabbing the pot in a secure and steady hold easy, even as you use thick or bulky baking gloves!
2) ScanPan Ceramic Titanium Classic
If you are willing to pay the price, the ScanPan is a fantastic addition to anyone’s kitchen, from a well-seasoned cook to someone just starting out.
The non-stick certain-titanium interior finish is perfect and safe for metal utensils. Additionally, it has a domed lid to ensure condensation does buildup. It also falls under the ScanPan 10-year extended warranty.
The only downside is its steep price of $157 and that it is not dishwasher safe.
1) Granite Ware Quart-Stock Pot
While it looks like something you would use while camping, the Granite Ware pot is made to help you make mean meals.
It has low carbon steel with glass coating making a non-stick surface. The dark interior not only matches the colour of most people’s soul, but is done intentionally to better absorb oven heat. The steel core distributes heat equally to give your food a perfectly equitable sear.
Plus, for only $35 you cannot go wrong!
