boilingand frying.
• Stainless steel cookpotswill evenly distributeheat if constructedof tri-ply or
combinedwith other metals such as aluminum and copper. Use for cooking
functionssimilarto aluminum.
• Cast iron cookpotsare slow to heat but cook more evenly once temperature is
reached. Use for longterm low heat cookingor for browningand frying.
