HOW TO choose the BEST Stainless steel vessels | Meyer, Bergner, Borosil, Stainless Steel Utensils

[@TheGrapevineIndia]

*What's your preferred type of stainless steel?* - Saumya I use most of these - www.amazon.in/shop/thegrapevineindia?listId=1XCA0PL87QEIW&ref=idea_share_inf

[@Mscellany1]

Tefal & Hawkins 3 ply for casseroles and kadais, cast iron dosa tawa, one nonstick Prestige saucepan for omelets, a small ceramic pan for heating small amounts/ tempering

[@kirtijog3192]

Dear Soumya.very useful info.thanks.pl suggest fry pan only for omlette . Pl also suggest abt good triply saute pan

[@om7654321]

I use triply and they are really good for faster heat induction. I feel 5 ply is a waste because it goes the same job as triply but a bit too heavy. 1. Bergner triply: Thisvis my top favourite because of the quality . 2. Vinod triply: This is equally good but quality vice it is still inferior to bergner but it is less expensive and medium range. 3. Healux triply: this is surgical grade steel on the top layer 4. AMC cookware: these are very expensive and come with 20 year warranty. This is completely surgical steel which can be used to cook with zero oil. 5. Mealthy hotpot: instead of pressure cook I use Mealthy hotpot which is stainless steel and really fast and non stick compared to real pressure cooker

[@TheGrapevineIndia]

Hi Mash! thanks for sharing your feedback! Yeah Bergner is my fav too, bought quite a few of it. I prefer hawkins for pressure cookers, recently replaced my anodized ones with stainless steel ones. I have to look at Healux and AMC - both look super expensive though. Vinod has both triply and 'no ply' ones that are a lot cheaper - so have to check fine print while buying that one!

[@om7654321]

@@TheGrapevineIndia Healux is not that expensive, it costs around 10k for a two piece set which is the perfect size for 4-5 person cooking and the benefit is that only the top layer is surgical steel. As for AMC if u are looking for an set of 5 pieces then the cost is around 55k and for 10 piece set it’s around 1 lakh. Ideally is someone is starting a new kitchen then I would suggest AMC because the 10 piece set can be selected based on various sizes.

[@Time-heals_everything9]

Bergner stainless steel has rusting problem. I purchase one tope from bangalore but it has serious rusting issue inner part of tope. I am returning that rusted tope. I was left shocked because Bergner is big brand in cookware in Indian market but rusting issue inside tope means very harmful to health. I stopped using that tope and preferred local brand tope.

[@TheGrapevineIndia]

Hi Lob Jig! Thanks for your sharing experience. I'm so surprised to hear that. I am personally using Bergner for last 2+ years and find it really good. Infact, whatever I had to replace, I did replace with Bergner. But what you shared is good to know so others can make an informed choice.

Does 5 ply have nickel in it, is it better to use 5 ply to reduce consumption of oil

[@TheGrapevineIndia]

Hi Dee, 5 ply can reduce the consumption of oil as heat distribution is uniform and your thick base will not burn due to excess heat. Nickel or not depends on the brand and what type of stainless steel they use. 430 steel has no nickel - but has limited uses as I mention in the video.

Hi, please suggest a good dosa tawa ...every year i have to buy a new non stick tawa...also it's not healthy... bought cast iron tawa but dosa sticks... looking for a guide on this thx

[@TheGrapevineIndia]

Hi Barkha, pls do not use nonstick dosa tawa. The coating wears off really easily and then it is extremely harmful. I use a cast iron tawa- typically 2 reasons the dosa can stick to tawa - 1. Not enough heat- make sure for the first minute or so, you heat it up well in high heat with oil on it. 2. Batter not at room temperature- cold batter will always stick. So try to keep batter out about 1-2 hours early. Only in the beginning you need oil - subsequently you can cook without oil once the tawa is nicely heated.

Hi Sofia- cast iron is good for cooking in general and bergner is a great brand (most of my stainless steel purchases are bergner). Cast iron is not bad for health. Aluminium I would avoid if possible - as if it gets pitted, its not good for health. Remember both are not dishwasher safe - if you do use one.

[@TheGrapevineIndia]

Hi Lakshmi, good question on the buy-back - I have not seen any brand do that yet. 18/10 and 18/8 - only difference is in the quantity of nickel. Both are OK. As long as aluminium is not exposed - it is fine to use in the dishwasher. In case of Triply, it is sandwiched between stainless steel layers - so it's ok.

Hi Saumya, there are certain parts you should not put in the dishwasher (like the lid, gasket and the regulator). The main cooker can be put, Hawkins only says it may get discolored. Here for your reference www.hawkinscookers.com/WebPCMain.aspx?cat=FSS. I use the Hawkins pressure cooker and put in the dishwasher. They ask you not to put the lid mainly because of risk that some particles may get stuck in the pressure nozzle.
