Stainless Steel Cookware

Stainless steel is an iron-based metal containing chromium that is highly resistant to stain, rust and corrosion. It is the most versatile material and is widely used for making cookwares. It has its own distinctive shine and it maintains the shine along with the good tensile strength.


Stainless steel cookwares are smooth, hard, warp and scratch resistant. They are non porous and exceptionally durable. These cookwares save space and gives easy and instant access to cookwares.

According to the Cookware Manufacturers Association, stainless steel may also contain other elements, such as nickel, molybdenum or titanium. These materials can contribute special hardness, high temperature resistance, and resistance to scratching and corrosion to the finished stainless steel alloy.

The only drawback is it has poor thermal conductivity. In order to combat this problem, a thick aluminum or copper core is used in the bottom to help conduct heat more evenly and make the cookware more responsive to heat.
