Today, every kitchen (with rare exceptions) has a whole set of pots. It is thanks to him that you can not only cook several dishes at once in the required quantity, but its presence also makes it possible to decorate the kitchen in a single style. Until recently, it was the enameled set of pots that was the main and the only one in everyday life of housewives. Today, it is slowly, but at the same time confident enough, losing its leading position. And all for the simple reason that sets made from other more durable and modern materials appeared on the market. However, until now, many housewives believe that it is the enameled set of pots that is the best.

Pros of this type of dishes

One of the main advantages of enamel pots is that you can cook absolutely everything in them without harm to he alth. Indeed, unlike aluminum cookware, this one does not react with s alts, does not emit any harmful substances into already prepared food.

Another significant plus isand ubiquitous availability. So, until recently, it was the enameled set of pots that was considered the most expensive, but today almost everyone can buy it. After all, many housewives prefer to buy more modern and expensive dishes, in connection with this, the prices for enameled pots have dropped significantly.

It is impossible not to say about the wide range. Previously, manufacturers covered their products only with white enamel. Today the situation has changed, and therefore you can purchase a multi-colored set of enameled pots. Russia, or rather, our domestic experts, at the same time, say that the outer color of such dishes can be any, but the inner one should be only white. However, this set often also includes ladles and pans, which saves money and time.

The pluses, perhaps, end here, which means it's time to talk about the minuses.

Flaws

As the main drawback, opponents put forward the fragility of this dish. And indeed, today manufacturers apply enamel on a pan in 2-3 layers, and not in 7-8, as it was before. Because of this, the average period during which an enameled set of pots can be used is on average 4-8 years, and not 10-14, as it used to be.

The second significant disadvantage is the fact that at the slightest chipped enamel on the inner surface of the pan, it is considered unusable. The thing is that when it is used for foodget dangerous chemical compounds.

Besides this, one should not forget that the vast majority of burnt dishes were cooked in this particular dish.

And the last disadvantage is the slow heating of the pan. However, this applies only to those in which the bottom is covered with white enamel. Therefore, it is best to purchase a dark set.

Some useful information

Practically all countries of the world today are engaged in the production of this type of dishes. Therefore, buyers often have a question about which one it is worth buying a set of enameled pans. Turkey is rightfully considered one of the leaders in sales. Enameled pans produced in this country amaze with their assortment, and also pleasantly please with high quality and at the same time low price. However, no matter where exactly and by whom such a set was produced, it needs constant care and respect.

In order for enameled pans to serve you for a long time, they should be cleaned with gel-like products, try to protect them from strong impacts and never pour cold water into a hot pan and vice versa. Otherwise, the enamel will quickly fade and start to chip off, and the pan itself will have to be thrown away.
