Buy A Rondeau

Amateur chefs can learn the proper way to buy and use a variety of cookware, from rondeau pots to baking pans. If you want to buy your own rondeau pot, there are certain features to look for.


Instructions


1. Figure out what you want to prepare using a rondeau cooking pan. Typically, chefs use this pan for braising, poaching or as a slow cooker. A rondeau pan is similar and often confused with the different sizes of casserole dishes, because the rondeau has two side handles. A rondeau pot is taller than a low casserole pan and shorter than a casserole pan.


2. Determine the size you need, considering that the larger size pans are heavy depending upon their material composition. You do not want a rondeau pot that is too heavy for you to lift from the stove top to place into the oven. Sizes in rondeau pans vary from the smaller 3 quart to the larger 6 ? quart. The pan's thickness also contributes to its efficiency and weight.


3. Decide what material works best for your cooking needs. Copper is the best heat conductor, so having a rondeau pan that is primarily copper or has a copper core are the most efficient choices. Stainless steel surfaces are also helpful in terms of durability, so a copper stainless steel mix is another smart choice.


4. Seek a pan that has an extended warranty. The best warranty is a lifetime warranty that offers full replacement if the rondeau pan is damaged or broken. Typically, the more expensive brands offer a lifetime warranty.
