Stainless steel pans and steamers are made from a combination of iron and other metals. Chromium and nickel are usually added to prevent rusting and tarnishing.
Stainless steel has a hard surface which will not chip, flake or peel and is easy to clean, retaining its good looks even after extensive use.
Stainless steel pans are often bonded to another metal, usually copper or aluminium which are good heat conductors, resulting in even cooking and the elimination of hot spots. Some ranges have a non-stick coating, while others don’t. Most stainless steel products are suitable for all heat sources.
