Stainless steel cookware is very popular cookware. It gets high marks for cooking qualities, multi-purpose use, durability, and ease of cleaning. Cooking in stainless steel will not affect flavor, as it does not react with acidic foods during food preparation or cooking. With proper care, stainless steel cookware can last decades.
For stove top cooking you should purchase the best quality stainless steel cookware available. Most manufacturers of high quality stainless steel cookware use steel with thick heat diffusing bottoms. Metals that provide better diffusion of heat, such as copper and aluminum, are attached to the bottom to prevent hot spots and uneven cooking.
Stainless cookware is dishwasher safe, but detergents with bleach and ammonia should be avoided.
