What Are Granite Cookwares?

You may be wondering what exactly granite cookware is and how it differs from traditional aluminium cookware. Granite is entirely chemical and PFOA-free, unlike other metals, making it safer to use in the kitchen. The heat-distribution feature of granite cookware is its best feature, and it helps prevent food from sticking. You’ll probably want to avoid granite cookware if you have glass cooktops.

Another difference between ceramic and granite cookware is their appearance. Ceramic cookware is shiny, while granite cookware is matte. You can match the look of your cookware with your kitchen’s decor, which is another benefit. The colours of ceramic and granite cookware vary a lot, too. Ceramic cookware, by contrast, is known for its shininess and high level of efficiency. However, ceramic cookware is not as easy to clean as granite, and you can’t use them for acidic ingredients like tomato sauce.

Granite cookware is a good choice for anyone looking for a non-stick option, but there are some drawbacks. Non-stick cookware can leach toxins into the food that you cook, making it dangerous for your health. Non-stick ceramic cookware can also lead to more oil buildup on the surface.

While using ‘Granite’ cookware is just as safe as non-stick, porcelain-coated utensils will ensure that your food remains clean and safe while it cooks. In addition to this, it is also easier to stain or scratch ceramic-coated utensils. Wooden utensils can be a safer choice. They are also more durable and resistant to heat than metal ones.

A set of granite cookware will typically include several different pots and pans. It may consist of saute pans, fry pans, saucepans, and stockpots. Some granite cookware comes with stainless steel handles. These handles are designed to stay cool even when heated. They are ergonomic and comfortable to hold and feature two rivets to ensure that they are sturdy.

The other benefit of granite cookware is that it can be used on induction stoves. The stone is heat resistant up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit, making it ideal for commercial cooks with industrial-sized ovens and stovetops. Some brands of granite cookware even come with dishwasher-safe versions. Granite cookware is dishwasher-safe, though handwashing is recommended for specific brands. There is also an exception to the dishwasher-friendly nature of granite cookware.

How to Maintain and Clean Granite Cookware –

1. Cookware should be washed in warm, soapy water, then rinsed and dried entirely by hand.
2. Pre-heat for only one minute on low flame for increased longevity. For optimal results, cook at a low to medium temperature.
3. Avoid damaging the non-stick coating by using a silicone or nylon spatula.
4. Use a burner that is the same diameter as the bottom of the pan to minimise hot spots, over-heating the sidewalls and handles on a gas cooktop.
5. Wash when it has cooled, and avoid putting a hot pan on a wet surface.
6. Protect the coating against thermal shock.
7. Do not drag the pots and pans on the surface for ceramic- or glass-topped cooking surfaces.
