A stainless steel skillet should be your kitchen workhorse, while that nonstick pan is essential for making perfect eggs. And a cast-iron skillet<\/a> is so useful; I'm definitely taking it to the desert island with me!\u00a0But what is the best cookware, and when should you use it?\r\nOur Guide to the Best Cookware<\/h2>\r\nStainless Steel<\/strong><\/h3>\r\nStainless steel pans are classic, and they last forever. They're super durable, lightweight and some brands are even magnetic (making them compatible for induction cooking methods). Unlike copper or aluminum, they don't react with any foods, so stainless steel is my go-to for cooking anything and everything.\r\n\r\nHere's how to deal with discoloration of stainless steel due to heat<\/a>.\r\n\r\nWhen to use it<\/strong>: Boiling pasta, browning butter or making pan sauces\u2014it's perfect. I often use my stainless steel skillet interchangeably with my seasoned cast-iron skillet when searing meats and vegetables.

They've given nonstick cookware a bad rap over the years, but nonstick pans have gotten safer as technology has improved. A good nonstick pan is definitely a kitchen essential, because its slippery surface doesn't require any oil at all. Your food won't stick (which makes it super easy to clean, too).\r\n\r\nWhen to use it<\/strong>: Nonstick is my first choice for making eggs, whether fried, scrambled or over easy. I also like a nonstick pan for making pancakes or crepes, and if I'm trying to cook low-fat or nonfat without oil, I choose the nonstick without a doubt.
