Stainless steel is also very conductive and will evenly distribute the heat throughout the base, which in turn evenly heats the food inside your pot. You can cook food on a low heat and save energy because the stainless steel in the pan absorbs heat well and retains it for a long time. Alternatively, you can use cups to measure the volume of the pot and then simply convert it to quarts. Related Questions

The biggest reason for this is that when choosing cheaply made cookware, you will probably have to replace them a few times which will eventually cost you more than an expensive quality one would have. Aluminum is a soft and lightweight material which also makes it easier to transport larger vessels. However, this is still one of the better material choices as it is an excellent heat conductor which is a necessity with larger cooking vessels that need to evenly heat large quantities of food. Durability Ceramics on the other hand, despite being very hard, heavy, and durable, will most likely break or at least chip when it is bumped against something or dropped.

These cooking vessels are generally on the larger side of pots and have a wide flat bottom with straight high sides. Stainless steel is in our opinion is the best material and is slightly more expensive compared to aluminum. The biggest problem with aluminum is that it can be a very reactive material (with certain foods, especially very acidic ones) and can give your food a greyish hue, a metallic taste, and even cause some acidic foods to curdle.The wide bottom with an edge makes the pot perfectly suitable to use on both gas and induction hobs. Aluminum on the other hand has the tendency to dent very easily which will also affect how heat is conducted. Measuring weight is much more accurate than measuring in cups, so this is a very accurate method to use. The top of the pot has an opening the same width as the diameter of the sides, and attached are two handles to help make transporting this large vessel much easier. Aluminum is the cheapest material you will probably find, but as we have discussed, it does have a few downfalls.
