There is a pain point in the current kitchen environment: a pan that either sticks too much, does not heat evenly, or does not have the flexibility to perform a high-searing heat as well as a gentle braise. At Craftsman, we believe that the tools you use should be an extension of your intent. Our belief is based on the fact that high-performance tools are not limited to the restaurant industry, but for those who find the soul and solace in the act of preparing a meal for the people you love.
A Legacy Forged in Fire and Utility
Long before the advent of non-stick coatings and induction-friendly bases, the science of cooking was shaped by the inherent properties of earth and metal. Throughout history, cookware developed from heavy cast iron and clay to materials that could provide better control and hygiene. In ancient kitchens, cooks always struggled with the loss of heat. Without a cover, the essence of ingredients, steam, oils, and aromas simply disappeared into the rafters. The importance of a covered vessel cannot be overstated, as this allowed cooks to create braising and reduction techniques that are the hallmark of some of the world’s greatest cuisines. Without modern technology’s gift of layering materials, cooks depended on the thickness of the material to prevent hotspots. And so, a legacy of durability was born.
Today, we reflect back on these ancient techniques not as relics of a bygone era, but as the basis for our modern-day appreciation of a stainless steel frying pan with lid. It represents a timeless marriage of the rugged durability of yesteryear with the modern, surgical precision of contemporary culinary science, as exemplified by its ability to bridge both eras as a solution that’s truly fundamental to the human experience of sharing a meal.
Triply Integrity vs. Conventional Coatings
As part of the modern-day culinary landscape, one of the first debates that arises with regard to a frying pan relates to its ability to last, as represented by the integrity of a triply stainless steel pan as opposed to conventional coatings. While conventional non-stick coatings provide an ease of use that’s almost slippery, they often cannot withstand the test of time, as well as the higher temperatures and intensity of a modern-day kitchen. A triply stainless steel pan, however, utilizes aluminum as a core material, with layers of steel on either side to distribute heat laterally across its entire surface.
This is because of the structural integrity of triply stainless steel. This means that when you are cooking with triply stainless steel, you are not only cooking, but you are also managing thermodynamics. The advantages of triply stainless steel are in the ability it has to create a perfect Maillard reaction, that golden-brown crust on a scallop or steak that cannot be achieved with non-stick coatings. Moreover, the chemical inertness of triply stainless steel means that no unwanted flavors or coatings will leach into the food being prepared.
This means that the purity of the ingredients is maintained. With conventional coatings, they will eventually deteriorate, losing their effectiveness and needing replacement after a few years. This leads us into a deeper understanding of the advantages of the physical weight and heat retention of triply stainless steel being favored by those who consider cooking a professional art rather than a chore. By mastering the heat levels necessary for cooking with triply stainless steel, a cook can achieve a certain level of control that will turn a simple recipe into a gourmet masterpiece.
