Pointers On
Pots And Pans
Today’s cookware comes in a
variety of shapes, sizes, colors,
and finishes, and is made from
many types of metal and combina
tions of materials. Expected
usages should play a large role in
the selection of a type of cook
ware. Here is a list of some of
today’s most popular types, for
both the range top and the oven.
Cooktop:
Aluminum: Spreads heat quick
ly and evenly. Best for frying,
braising and pot roasts. Comes in
many weights, but a medium to
heavy weight generally gives the
best performance.
Cast Iron: Slow to change
temperature and holds heat. It is a
very durable metal, but is subject
to discoloring. Good for brown
ing, frying and stewing.
Copper (Tin-Lined): Quick to
change temperature and holds
heat. Great for gourmet cooking,
wine sauces and egg cookery. Tin
lining can wear thin with use.
Cookware must be re-tinned to
avoid poisonous reaction between
the heated copper pan and the
food.
Glass Ceramic; Slow to change
temperature. Best for long, low
heat cooking with a liquid.
Porcelain Enamel: Porcelain
enamel over steel is long lasting,
stain and scratch resistant. How
well it heats depends upon the
type of steel used. Best for cook
ing soups and other types of
liquids.
Stainless Steel: Usually com
bined with other metals such as
aluminum, copper and carbon
steel. Other materials make the
cookware heat more quickly,
while the stainless steel makes it
durable. Best for frying, sauces,
soups, vegetables and egg
cookery.
Oven Cookware
Aluminum: Absorbs heat faster
than glass or steel and conducts
heat well. Gives delicate brown
ing and tender crusts. Best for
cakes, muffins, quick breads,
cookies and roasting.
Ovenproof glass/pottery:
Absorbs and holds heat well, so
oven temperatures should be low
ered 25 degrees F. Gives a deep,
crusty brown top. Best for
casseroles.
Teflon dull or darkened cook
ware: Absorbs heat quicker than
shiny cookware. Lower oven
temperature 25 degrees F. except
for pastry. Good for pies and other
foods baked in pastry shells.
SOUR MILK FOR
USE IN BAKING
Do you know that pasteurized
milk will not sour because the
kind of bacteria necessary are not
present. Instead all pasteurized
dairy products become putrid and
should be thrown away. Any bac-

teria present would be contamin
ants and may include those which
might cause food poisoning. In
addition, the food made from
spoiled pasteurized milk will
probably have the putrid taste
from the milk. For the best quality
and flavor of fluid milk buy and
use milk before the 10-day open
date expires. This applies to
whole, lowfat, skim, chocolate
and cream products.
When a recipe calls for sour
milk, use buttermilk, or replace
two tablespoons of good milk with
two tablespoons of lemon juice or
vinegar. The term sour milk
should have been deleted from
recipes a generation or more ago.
Replace it with buttermilk
whenever possible. Unless other
wise stated, buttermilk will con
tain less than 0.5% milkfat.
