History of Cookware
Cookware history goes back to 24 000 BC. It was a time when people started to use seashells, sticks, and natural clay to make some vessels for cooking, while for food storage and handling they often used some animal parts like a turtle shell. The pottery for liquids handling and cooking appeared when people learned how to control the fire. There is archeological evidence that in about 7 000 BC the inhabitants of Tehuacan Valley carved out stone bowls and heated them on fire while in Asia people covered bamboo vessels with clay to achieve a higher temperature inside. The first prototypes of modern pans were invented in France in the 17th century. Unlike pottery, popular at that time, pans were made of copper and equipped with handles and a lid. Aluminum, steel and enameled cookware appeared at the beginning of the 19th century. Since then and up to the present day production technologies have been improved but the cookware design remains almost unchanged.

It is essential to choose a cookware material that will best suit your cooking technique. Aluminum is light and durable and boasts unsurpassed heat conductivity ensuring quick heating and cooling.

The cookware made of cast iron is extremely durable and will serve you for years. Cast iron is an excellent choice for juicy steaks and meat stews that will melt in your mouth. Ceramic cookware is not that popular today due to fragility and sensitivity to the heat change.

Speaking of pan and skillet lids, most often they are made of tempered glass allowing you to trace down the cooking process without lifting the lid. But you should remember that glass lids are inferior to aluminum and steel lids in terms of durability.
Stove Compatibility
Depending on the material your cookware is made of some sets are suitable only for gas and electric stoves while the others are also suitable for induction stoves. Most cookware sets can also be used for cooking delicious dishes in the oven. But you should always consider the maximum safe temperature to avoid cookware pieces deformation and chemical reaction with foods.
Usability
Usability is the last but not the least factor to consider. If your cookware pieces have cool grip handles, you can hold them without the risk of getting burned. When your kitchen is concise in space, wall mounting will become a handy solution thanks to the holes in the handles. Measuring marks on the pans will always help you pour the right amount of water following the recipe and a spout allows for easy and drip-free pouring. As far as the cleaning is concerned, some models are dishwasher safe while the other sets require delicate hand washing with special cleaning agents.
