Why Cook with Stainless Steel?

Stainless steel has become one of the most popular materials for cookware worldwide, and for good reason. Its use is not limited to professional kitchens but is also extremely popular in home kitchens. Especially in Greek cuisine, where the quality of cookware plays a crucial role in performance and flavor, stainless steel offers many significant advantages.

1. Durability and Longevity

Stainless steel is known for its durability. It does not rust, stain, or absorb odors, making it ideal for preparing a variety of dishes. Whether you're cooking dishes with strong aromas like stifado or giouvetsi, or simply boiling water, stainless steel maintains its quality over time.

2. Hygiene and Safety

One of the main advantages of stainless steel is hygiene. This material does not react with food, even if it's acidic or salty. This means there is no risk of unwanted chemicals or metals leaching into your food. Additionally, stainless steel is easy to clean as it can be placed in the dishwasher, ensuring complete removal of bacteria.

3. Even Heat Distribution

Heat distribution is extremely important in cooking, and stainless steel excels in this area. Stainless steel cookware usually has a multi-layered base, including aluminum or copper, ensuring even heat distribution. This means your food cooks evenly without burnt or undercooked spots.

4. Elegance and Style

Stainless steel gives a sleek and modern look to your kitchen. Its shiny, clean surface remains impressive even after years of use. Furthermore, it matches any kitchen décor, whether traditional or contemporary.

5. Ease of Use

Finally, stainless steel cookware is lightweight and easy to use. The handles are usually ergonomically designed to provide comfort and safety during cooking. Additionally, they are suitable for use on all types of stovetops, including induction.
