Which pot for which job
Use the smaller pots for rice, daal and curry for a large gathering, and the two largest for stock, soups and catering quantities.
Before first use
Wash in warm soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly before cooking for the first time, to remove any dust or residue from packing. Prepared like this, the 10 piece stainless steel cookware set is ready for the kitchen.
Cooking tips
Use a medium heat and let the metal warm up gradually, stir with wooden or silicone utensils, and match the burner to the size of the base so flames do not climb the sides. Cooked this way, food in the 10 piece stainless steel cookware set browns and simmers more evenly.
Cleaning
Let cookware cool before washing. Soak any stuck-on food in warm soapy water, use a soft sponge or nylon scourer, then dry fully to keep the silver finish bright. Cared for like this, the 10 piece stainless steel cookware set keeps its shine.
Who it is for
Cookware like the 10 piece stainless steel cookware set suits family kitchens, restaurants and takeaways, and anyone who cooks South Asian dishes in quantity. It also makes a practical gift for a new home.
Storage
Store cookware dry, with lids resting beside or loosely on top rather than sealed, so air can circulate. Graduated sizes nest inside each other to save cupboard space, which keeps the 10 piece stainless steel cookware set tidy between meals.
Cooking for a crowd
For a family gathering or an event, cook rice in one pot, a curry in another and daal or vegetables in a third, all at once on the hob or a gas burner. Matching pots also look smart carried to a buffet table with their lids on, keeping food warm until it is served.
Lids and steam
A lid traps heat and steam, so water boils sooner and rice and stews cook more gently. Tilt the lid slightly when simmering sauces, so they thicken without boiling over.
Lifting full pots
Use both side handles and oven gloves when lifting a full pot, and lift straight up rather than sliding it across the hob. Large pots full of liquid are heavy, so ask for a hand with the biggest sizes.
Planning meals ahead
Cooking once and eating twice saves time on busy weekdays. Make a double batch, cool the extra quickly and keep it covered in the fridge, or freeze it in portions for the week ahead.
