Using proper cookware provides the best results!
I like to use good quality cookware that is not only beautiful and stainless steel to retain food’s true flavor. But that includes a bonded base to quickly and evenly distribute the heat. This little detail makes so much difference. Cooking on pot and pans that do not distribute heat correctly cause food to burn. Plus food has to taste the way is expected and not with transfer flavors from the pot or skillet you are using. Using proper cooking tools assures perfect results all the time.
If this is your first time acquiring a cookware set or want to upgrade, consider Lagostina. They have so many different options, all beautiful and crafted with the highest quality.
