Why Stainless Steel Cookware?

A diminutive history

Metal cooking utensils have been in base use for centuries. Stainless Steel cookware is a more recent development.

Fry Stainless Steel

The smelting of Stainless Steel (an iron-nickel-chromium alloy) didn’t occur until 1910 when Harry Brearley (under the hire of John Brown Laboratories and Thomas Firth & Sons, England) sought to smelt a metal unyielding to rust, erosion and corrosion-a metal adaptable to soldiery use, capable of withstanding nature and the intense heat fluctuations base to repeat firing arms.

Why Stainless Steel Cookware?

Metallurgical studies dating back to the early 1820’s (Berthier, France), the 1870’s (Woods and Clark, Britain), and refined in 1909 (Giesen, England) pointed Brearley in the direction of an 18/10 chromium/nickel blended alloy to meet his doing criteria. Brearly’s alloy, known today as t304 Stainless Steel (one of the 300 series of ‘austhenitic’ Stainless Steel) also contained a host of further benefits-durable, nonporous, mirror-like sheen impervious to stain, de facto molded, cleaned, polished and chemically inert (nontoxic).

Given the unique character of surgical grade Stainless Steel, Brearly’s t304 alloy has proved far more advantageous as surgical instrumentation and cookware than bullet casings. The unique properties of t304 Stainless Steel produce the most hygienic, impervious (non-erosive, non-corrosive, non-porous, non-toxic, non-stick) cooking exterior available in the cookware marketplace.

  • non-erosive (will not leach, flake, peel or degrade into foods)
  • non-corrosive (will not rust, tarnish or react to water, air, salt; no seasoning or tempering-wash in soapy water)
  • non-porous (will not house bacteria in diminutive pores as will cast iron or other soft metals-copper, aluminum, etc.)
  • non-toxic (t304 Stainless Steel is totally chemically inert)
  • non-stick (real foods include all the essential fats and fluids essential to publish themselves from a hot surface-excessive heat causes sticking, charring & burning, not the cookware).

These unique characteristics are but the advantages of Brearly’s base alloy. Advancements in the fabrication of Stainless Steel cookware over the past fifty years has evolved to a point where Stainless Steel cookery is recognized as and has proven to be the epitome of safe, healthy, food-friendly cooking utensils.

When assessing all the base base metals involved in today’s cookware (aluminum, ionized aluminum, copper, titanium, cast iron, ceramic/glass and synthetic-coated cookware), Harold McGee says of t304 Stainless Steel cookware; “…these hybrids are the closest thing we have to the ideal chemically inert but thermally responsive pan.” (On Food and Cooking: the Science and Lore of the Kitchen, Scribner 2004, page 791).

By “hybrids”, McGee is referring to today’s Multi-Ply Stainless Steel cookware, fabricated with multiple layers of Stainless Steel-5-plies, or 7 plies, or 9 plies for example. To understand the significance of this ideal, it helps to understand the fundamentals of real food and cooking-not the act of cooking just, but the true intent of cooking.

Cooking is de facto a occasion of truth, a culmination of nature’s food cycle, a occasion when the vital cache of earth’s nutrient goodness is tastefully enhanced or sadly wasted. A pot or pan is more than an appliance to heat processed food material or boil away nature’s high-priced minerals, vitamins, enzymes and antioxidants. Real food deserves better. There’s simply more to the enriching soils of organic vegetables and free-range meats, more to engage the palate, the nose, the eyes, more to savor and de facto more to revitalize and re-energize. We are, after all, only as wholesome as the condition of that which we eat. To that end, pots and pans are a huge contributor to the nutritional and savory fate of foods. Much can be gained or lost in the uncomplicated act of cooking.

What are we de facto losing when this underlying intent is lost to convenience?…when our diet (served at today’s dining table) is laced in fats & oils (fried), cleansed of natural nutrients (boiled) or simply re-heated from pre-cooked, extremely processed foods (canned, frozen, boxed, etc)?

Today’s ‘cooking’ is not cooking at all; far from it. The high price we pay, of course, is abundantly displayed in hospital accident rooms and verified in the red ink of a fattened and nearly bankrupt condition care system. Maybe it’s time to return to the fundamentals of real food and wholesome cooking practices.

How Long Does a Turkey Breast Take to Cook?

Turkey is a dish most people ignore until around the time of thanksgiving, but it is indubitably a tasty, and wholesome meat that can be enjoyed at any time of the year. Turkey is ideal for sandwiches, stir frys, salads, and lots of other dishes, and is a good alternative to chicken when you fancy a change, but want to stick with white meats.

The cooking time of a turkey breast depends mostly on its size – bigger portions of meat take longer to cook. Other factors that sway the cooking time contain the ratio of meat to bone, and either or not you are trying to cook from frozen. Someone else thing to think is the kind of marinade used, and the cooking recipe that you plan to use.

Fry Stainless Steel

What Internal Temperature?

How Long Does a Turkey Breast Take to Cook?

There is no shortage of experienced cooks and top-notch cookbooks that give you their best guesstimate for the ideal turkey breast cooking time. Usually, they will illustrate that is depends on the size of the piece. However, the best way of getting the roasting done just right is to buy a cooking thermometer and use it to check the turkey usually to see if the internal temperature has reached 170 degrees Fahrenheit. As soon as the cooking thermometer register 170 degrees, not only is your turkey safe to eat, it is also deliciously moist and tender. There are different methods that you can use to cook turkey, and you have a selection in the pan to use too, but shallow roasting pans are the best bet for cooking turkey breast every time.

Usually turkey breast is served without stuffing, however some people prefer to stuff bigger portions. An 8 pound part is ideal for stuffing with some of your favorite herbs and spices. usually for a 2 or 3 pound turkey people cook them for 1 and a half to two hours at 325 degrees Fahrenheit, with 4 to 6 pound breasts taking 2 and a half to three hours, and an 8 pound part taking 3 and a half hours.

An Easy Recipe

Turkey breasts can indubitably become a staple of your diet, and you need not get bored of them if you add a slight zing to the recipe – a citrus turkey breast sandwich is a great snack for example. Just add some jalapeno paste, lime juice, orange juice, garlic, and onion paste to a marinade – roast the breast, and shred or slice before adding to sandwiches for a wholesome and tasty lunch option.

This 18/10 stainless-steel lid is great as a backup covering for large cooking sessions when all lids are in use. The lid is heavily vented, making it especially nice for simmering soups or steaming large quantities of vegetables. Evenly spaced fingernail-sized vents encircle the lid in three tiers to provide excellent release of steam while still cooking food to a tender consistency. The lid has an 11-3/8-inch diameter and a plastic knob that remains cool to the touch during cooking. –Cristina Vaamonde

Although stir frys are the most base use for them, they can also be used for boiling, braising, steaming, and stewing.

Their unique advantage is that they use less oil – a small hot area at the bottom allows food to be seared. The oil remains in a small pool at the very bottom. The rest of the wok is cooler, with curved sides, allowing the food to tumble back to the hottest area when tossed or scraped.

Woks also have a much greater usable cooking area than customary pans.

Healthy food – and lots of it – great!

Materials

I was given my first wok nearby 25 years ago as a wedding gift (I say “around”, but I do know the exact date, honest!)

It is a very large, customary cast iron one – good looking and probably very expensive. It distributes the heat literally evenly. Any way it is very heavy. And takes a long time to cool so food needs to be taken out once ready, or it will continue to cook. If you’re feeling strong the best looking one I’ve found is here from the Wok Shop at Amazon.

We were looking it too heavy as middle age crept up on us.

So, in the 90’s I cast my eye nearby for a replacement. Non-stick seemed like a good idea. These woks are commonly made from steel with a Teflon non-stick coating. A bad move! Although they may be non-stick, they’re not non-scratch – and some members of the household (maybe me included, I’m not telling!) damaged the covering fairly soon after we bought it. Not only that, but these woks cannot cook at the high heat principal for stir frying. Once the climatic characteristic gets close to the right climatic characteristic the coating can breaks down. Also, the covering doesn’t allow the juices to stick to the pan and brown – losing much of the customary stir-fry taste.

The wok became virtually unusable, so, last year I started looking nearby for a replacement.

I saw that some woks are now made with the newest non-stick materials along with Xylan and Excalibur and I’m told by friends that they work very well.

Joyce Chen endorses this newest 12 inch non-stick wok here. And this smaller (11 inch) one here and larger (14 inch) one here are very good value from money from Amazon.

However non-stick wasn’t for me again.

Aluminum seems like a good material – light and an exquisite conductor of heat. Any way it doesn’t retain heat well – an prominent requirement. And, although anodized aluminum alloys can stand up to constant use, plain aluminium woks are too soft and damage easily. Also, they won’t work on induction hobs. Good for wok lids, but not for the wok itself, in my opinion. The best looking one I’ve seen is here

Woks are traditionally made from carbon steel. They are relatively cheap and lightweight, have quick heat conduction and cheap durability. Any way they need seasoning (see below), which, if not carried out, makes the food stick. Lower ability ones are single ply and can deform and misshape. You need to pay a fair amount more to get one made of two sheets of carbon steel. Carbon steel woks should only be washed in warm water to avoid damaging the seasoning. But they need to then be dried fully as they can rust relatively easily. The best looking 14 inch one I’ve seen is ready here from Amazon.

Which leaves stainless steel. This is the type I bought. Chromium is added to carbon steel to forestall rusting. They have a hard covering which will not chip, flake, peel or break. Some have much improved surfaces that can withstand much higher temperatures. They heat and cool quickly. And can be scoured with steel wool to restore the shine after each use. Here is the one I’d recommend – a great modern look to it.

Shape

Traditionally, woks are round-bottomed. This makes food easier to toss, and minimises splatters.

It is slightly more difficult to move the food nearby in a flat bottomed wok, although most woks are flat as they can be used in more places.

If you have a gas stove, you’re lucky – you could go for whether a round bottomed or flat bottomed wok. Any way a wok ring is desirable for a round bottomed one on a gas stove. It will help stabilise it and also directs the heat to the very bottom of the wok, where it’s needed.

Money rescue Tip – an upside-down grid on a gas stove is sometimes the right shape to act as a wok ring.

For an electric stove you need a flat bottomed wok. These need to be cleaned well after each use to avoid small food particles getting stuck on the pan.

An alternative, if you have an electric stove, is to get an electric wok. These are stand-alone appliances with good heat conductance properties. They are, Any way difficult to use if you want to flamboyantly toss your creation around, so maybe lose some of the magic? The best one I saw is here.

Size

Sizes range from 10″ that would be large adequate for a meal for 3, up to 16″, adequate for 12 people, or much larger for market use.

Accessories

Consider getting a wok lid, spatula and a ladle – all beneficial for several recipes.

Handles

There are two types of handles – loop and stick.

Loop handles are the most base and are commonly made of bare metal, although some have wooden or plastic covers. Cooks need to hold the wok with a thick towel or oven gloves. A fair amount of hand, arm and wrist dexterity is needed for tossing the food.

Stick handles are long and commonly made of steel, although, again, sometimes covered. Sometimes called Peking Pans, these are easier to toss if the wok is not too large. Larger woks often have a loop handle as well.

Seasoning

Carbon steel and cast iron woks need to be seasoned before their first use. This involves rubbing the inside of the wok with oil, placing it over a gentle heat so that it begins to smoke, and then removing and allowing to cool. After removing excess oil with kitchen paper, the process needs to be repeated two or three times.

Grandma’s Fruitcake

This is the method that my grandmother brought with her when she and her house left Russia in the early 1900’s. As a child colse to the 1920’s or so, while living on a farm in Pennsylvania which at that time there were a great whole of people advent from Europe, you needed to be able

to do things for yourself. She learned from her mother how to make a most tasty white fruit cake, a white fruitcake is a fruitcake that does not have any molasses, molasses which is very bitter, not having the molasses in the fruitcake gives it a lighter color, this gives it the name white fruitcake.

This fruitcake in the days in which my mother lived as a child with her parents was only

made during Christmas because the only time you could get walnuts, cherries, and some other ingredient’s was in the fall of the year. Remember now they didn’t go to the store to buy what they needed, they had to grow them. Raisins were dried by the people themselves, they even had to shell their own walnuts, and candy their own cherries, and such the pineapple and coconut I do believe they must have purchased.

Fry Stainless Steel

To keep with tradition the only time of the year that I make or sell this fruitcake is during

the Christmas holidays, and in my mind you cannot get a better fruitcake.

Deep Frying a Turkey – How Long to Fry a Turkey

If you’re tired of waking up a the crack of dawn all things Thanksgiving just so you can put the turkey in the oven then you need to consider deep frying your next turkey. When it comes to cooking a turkey, deep frying is the quickest way to do it.

Purchasing a turkey frying kit is the easiest way to get started. They regularly consist of a propane gas burner, a large pot, a candy thermometer and a metal rack that’s used to raise and lower the bird into the hot oil. Besides the contents of the kit, you’ll also need a tank of propane gas, some security tool (gloves, goggles, fire extinguisher), about five gallons of peanut oil and of course a turkey.

Fry Stainless Steel

The turkey should be no more than twelve to thirteen pounds. So if you need to feed a large family, then buy two or more twelve pound turkeys. You don’t need to worry, they cook so fast when you deep fry them that you’ll have time to cook some birds. The turkey of course should be completed thawed out before deep frying. A freezing turkey could explode or start a fire.

Deep Frying a Turkey – How Long to Fry a Turkey

You’ll need to get the peanut oil heated to about 360 degrees Fahrenheit. This won’t happen instantly and in fact could take up to a half hour depending on your burner. But once you lower that raw turkey into the hot oil, the cooking time is going to be practically three and half minutes per pound.

A twelve pound turkey in peanut oil heated to 360 degrees should cook at three and half minutes per pound. That would be forty two minutes not along with the time it takes to heat up your oil. Also let the cooked turkey sit for at least twenty minutes before serving it. That would add up to about an hour and a half from start to conclude for one bird or about two hours and ten minutes for two turkeys. So now you know that it doesn’t nothing else but take that long to deep fry a turkey.

The Uses of a Wok Ring and Its Advantages

The Woks are productive vessels to make appetizing Southeast Asian cuisine. You can admittedly stir-fry in them and even deep-frying, boiling, and braising is possible. You can find them in every kitchen in China. They have bowl-shape and as a result, they transfer extremely high heat to the food evenly. In turn, the food is cooks faster and tastes amazing. Woks are made of stainless steel, cast iron, carbon steel and aluminum. Now, you even have galvanic woks that run on electricity. Since woks need to work on extremely high heat, you need to place a wok ring around the burner. This enables the wok to carry on cooking on extremely high flame.

Many times when citizen buy a new wok and they find this ring in the pack, they are surprised and confused. They have never heard of such a ring and do not know what to do with it. admittedly for cooking, it is ok if you do not use this ring at all. The wok by itself cooks very well. The size of the burners determines either a ring is beneficial or not and the type of stove to use. If you have a gas range, you will not even need a ring. You need the ring when galvanic burners are used. Let me clarify the instructions you should follow for a wok ring:

Fry Stainless Steel

1. When you have bought your new wok, place it on one of the burners on your stove when the heat is off. If the wok trembles or does not stand by itself, a ring will be required. Mostly the grates of your gas burner are capable of holding the wok firmly. If they do not, then you will have to use the ring. In case of an galvanic burner, the coils are flat and hence you will need the ring to keep the wok.

2. The wide end of the ring should be pointing upwards.

3. Before you start cooking in your wok, place this ring on top of the burner.

4. Now, place the wok above the ring and ensure that the wok is above the burner. In case the ring is too low or too high, a transfer will be required.

5. In case you have a gas stove, a ring that has open sides is very important. If your kitchen has an galvanic stove then one with terminated sides with air holes around it is required. In case your wok does not come with a ring required in your kitchen, you will have to regain it.

Electric Stove: You need a ring if you intend to use a wok on an galvanic burner so that the wok is slightly above the coil. galvanic stoves give out lots of heat. In spite of lifting the wok a minuscule over the coil, there will be plentifulness of heat arresting upwards in to the food.

2. Kinds: There are two types of wok rings. One ring has open sides and is made of a thick wire. The other one has small holes around it for venting and is made of enclosed metal. The first kind is exquisite for gas burners whereas the latter works well with galvanic burners. A great compliment to a wok is a wok ring. It is especially beneficial when the wok does not fit onto the burners or even galvanic stoves.

Turkey Fryers – electric or Propane?

Given the nearnessy of the up coming holidays, many habitancy have been inspecting deep frying a turkey for the first time. There are many different kinds of turkey fryers out there to pick from. Primarily outdoor propane deep fryers or indoor counter top electric fryers. The differences in the middle of an outdoor deep fryer and an electric fryer vary greatly. We will start with electric turkey fryers.

First and foremost, electric fryers are made for indoors. You can take your electric fryer outdoors to use one day at a time. But you should bring it back indoors once all things has cooled, and put it away. It should never be left out on your patio like a backyard grill. The morning dew alone is enough to ruin the inner workings of an electric deep fryer.

You can take an electric deep fryer camping if you have electricity, but you can forget about tailgating with one unless you have a generator.

An electric turkey fryer can be a large counter top deep fryer. My first fryer was an electric counter top turkey fryer. It not only fries small turkeys as well as deep frying anything you want, but you can also steam and boil with it. I’ve been known to make Low Country Boil right in my house in the middle of the winter.

Not all so-called electric turkey fryers, are indubitably deep fryers. These units work with high radiant heat. They technically roast, not deep fry. There is indubitably no oil involved. Less mess to clean up. You can roast other meats in these units, but you can not fry up a batch of french fries in one of these.

Most electric turkey fryers have a protection shut off feature if the oil becomes too hot. They mostly all have a thermometer or climatic characteristic gauge as well. This is a great feature because most of these units will tell you that your oil is up to climatic characteristic by a light on the gauge or unit. This is also good if you are frying things other than turkey. If you are frying up many batches of things, like Buffalo wings or onion rings, you should always let your oil come back up to climatic characteristic in the middle of batches.

Now, speaking of oil temperatures, electric fryers do take longer to heat oil than outdoor propane deep fryers. It also takes longer in the middle of batches to come back up to temperature. You want fried crispy food, not oil logged greasy food. So pay attention to your oil temperatures. Don’t get hasty and put food in before it’s time.

Lastly, you don’t have to worry about the kids and the dog needing to have somewhere else to play. Odds are they are not playing on the counter top or in the kitchen, so the odds of your indoor electric turkey fryer getting knocked over by a game of soccer or football are next to nil.

Now we’ve discussed electric turkey fryers. Let’s move on to outdoor propane turkey fryers.

There is the issue of Lp gas. You must have a propane tank to cook with, but this affords portability and versatility. You can go anywhere! The beach, camping, tailgating, or even just a different place in your back yard. And speaking of versatility a customary turkey fryer consists of a stock pot and an outdoor propane cooker. Not only can you deep fry with them, you can stew, boil and steam food. You can make chili for a cold weather camp out or have a New England clam bake right in your back yard. always make sure you have an extra Lp tank around, just in case.

Have you ever deep fried food in your house? The fact that your outdoors is great, because now your whole house won’t smell like you deep fried a turkey two or three days later.

Even though you are outdoors there are still protection features to keep in mind. You always want to be on stable, sturdy ground, and not near any structure or materials that can catch fire. The kids and the dog will now have to find a different place to play than where you are set up. If it rains you cannot take your outdoor turkey fryer indoors. Do not take it on the porch or in the garage, as this could just end in a indubitably bad day!!!

Frying oil will heat faster with a propane fryer than an electric one. Even after you put a whole turkey in the oil, it takes a significantly less time to come back up to temperature, than if you were using electricity. Most customary outdoor fryers do not have a built-in climatic characteristic gauge though. You need a deep fryer thermometer and you need to monitor your temps. There will be no small light telling you that the oil is ready. There is no protection shut off either. Again you need to monitor your temperatures and turn your regulator valve down if need be.

Traditional turkey fryers always run the risk of overflow and flare ups. This can occur if placing the bird too quickly into the fryer, or if it is wet or not properly thawed. A way to avoid the danger of overflow and flare ups is to get a safer fryer. These units typically have the flame on the back side and self-contained fire tubes. Any overflow that may occur would happen at the front of the unit. No hot oil or flame should ever come in contact. All the same protection precautions should still be taken. Like having an all-purpose fire extinguisher handy at all times and protective gloves.

Electric or propane, indoors or outdoors, you should never use water on a hot oil fire.

Never leave your fryer unattended, indoors or outdoors.

Whether you rule on an indoor electric turkey fryer or an outdoor propane deep fryer, weigh your options, research, and make an informed decision. Which fryer is best? That decision can only be made by you.
