Why Quality Cookware is the Green Choice
Good quality Non-stick means less oil needed for Cooking and therefore reduces waste
Strong Cookware bases give good heat distribution requires less energy to heat the pan
Meyer products last longer reducing waste of products and transportation of new items
Nonstick Coatings — Durability & Performance
When it comes to nonstick durability (the length of time the coating will continue to release food), coating quality does make a difference when comparing one coating against another on the same quality pan. Remember, a superior coating on a thin gauge pan is no better than a cheap coating on a heavy gauge pan. For superior nonstick performance, both the coating and the pan must meet high quality standards.
Cookware Materials / Substrates Meyer currently offer
Aluminium
Aluminium is the most common material for cookware, as it is an excellent conductor of heat and is inexpensive compared to copper or stainless steel. Remember, since an aluminum pan is all aluminum, heat spreads evenly over the total surface, including the side walls. Aluminium is lightweight and easy to handle and if coated with enamel gives the options to add colour giving the pans more of an attrictive look.
Stainless Steel
Stainless steel is a poor heat conductor. To disperse heat (prevent "hot spots" and burning), an aluminium or copper disc must be added to the bottom of the pan. This is directly related to the thickness of the copper or aluminum disc. The thicker the disc, the better the heat distribution. Stainless Steel will not corrode and is extremely durable when compared with softer pan materials.
