How many pots and pans do I need for my kitchen?

To stock up your kitchen, start with a mix of sizes of pots and pans to meet your everyday needs. Make sure you have two sizes of saucepans, a small 2-quart pot and a medium 4-quart pot. You should have a few sizes of nonstick skillets or frying pans between 8 and 12 inches. You’ll also need at least one large stockpot that can hold between 6 and 12 quarts. With these varying sizes and types of cookware, you’ll be able to do basic tasks in the kitchen from steaming rice to boiling pasta.

What types of utensils should I use with nonstick cookware?

You must be mindful of the utensils you use to stir and cook with when using nonstick cookware to prevent scratching the pan and damaging the nonstick coating. Avoid metal utensils altogether. Choose instead soft-sided utensils like silicone, wood, or plastic.

Does stainless steel cookware have nonstick coating?

Stainless steel cookware does not come with nonstick coating. To prevent sticking when preparing food, always coat the pan with oil, butter, or cooking spray. If you can avoid scrubbing the pan with soap, as you use the pan overtime, the surface will develop a natural nonstick coating.
