Whether you're searing a steak to perfection or simmering a delicate sauce, the right cookware makes all the difference in your kitchen adventures. Baccarat's extensive collection is known for its superior craftsmanship, offering both non-stick and stainless steel options that cater to every culinary need.
What are the benefits of using non-stick vs. stainless steel cookware?
Non-stick cookware provides easy food release and typically requires less oil, making it a healthier option. Stainless steel is known for its ability to sear and brown food beautifully and is often favoured for its durability and versatility.
How do I choose the right Baccarat cookware set for my needs?
Consider the types of food you commonly prepare. If you do a lot of sauteing, a set with several frying pans may be ideal. For sauces and soups, look for sets with multiple saucepans and stock pots. Assess the number of people you usually cook for to determine the appropriate sizes.
How do I properly use non-stick cookware?
To get the best out of your non-stick cookware:
- Use wooden, or silicone utensils to prevent scratching the surface.
- Cook on low to medium heat to protect the non-stick coating.
- Avoid using non-stick cooking spray, which can cause residue build-up that's difficult to remove.
Can Baccarat cookware be used on induction cooktops?
Most Baccarat cookware is compatible with all cooktops, including induction. However, it's important to check the specifics of your set to ensure it's suitable for use on your particular cooktop.
How do I clean and maintain my Baccarat cookware?
For non-stick cookware:
- Allow pans to cool before washing to prevent warping.
- Hand wash with a soft sponge and mild detergent to maintain the integrity of the non-stick surface.
- Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that could scratch the surface.
For stainless steel cookware:
- Pre-soak to loosen any food residue.
- Use a gentle scrubber and dish soap for regular cleaning.
- For tough stains, a mixture of vinegar and water can help restore shine.
