Heavy Bottom Pans

Heavy bottomed pans are used for frying because they heat the oil to a higher heat and are faster due to having a larger area to heat. In addition, they store more heat which makes browning and cooking more even. Many chefs use these to braise their foods to seal in the juices. That way when you cut into a juicy braised steak it runs with juices. Having the ability to brown and cook in the same pan is what cooking is all about. Among other things to make with heavy bottomed pans are these:

• Soups
• Stocks
• Pasta
• Pot Roasts
• Chops
• Steaks


The best thing about heavy bottomed pan is the ability to start cooking your steaks on high heat, glazing them and then popping them into a hot oven to finish cooking. When you take them out they are very tender. Heavy bottom pans are great for this type of cooking.
