Why Cook in Stainless Steel Frying Pans with Lids?

The Avacraft 18/10 food grade stainless steel frying pans are designed to cook food evenly through even heat distribution and hot spot avoidance. Cooking with the lid also helps to ensure your food is cooked thoroughly and allows you to see exactly what is happening in the pan. Easily prevent burned or overcooked food by simply peeping through the glass lid. The lid helps you conceal the heat and flavors inside for that flavorful cooked food every single time.

When it comes to choosing the type of lid with your frying pan, most people decide between stainless steel to match the pan or glass. At Avacraft, we have tested these choices and have demonstrated that glass is the best route and the one we choose to use to make our family’s meals every night.

Glass lids allow you to see what is happening in the stainless steel frying pan to ensure your food is cooking at the right temperature and speed. We also ensured that the tempered glass used for our lids is shatterproof, the heat or sudden change in heat will NOT affect the glass lid, including breaking or cracking.

FAQ

What are pan lids used for?

Heat retention: Using a lid helps retain heat within the pan, which can be especially useful for dishes that require simmering or braising. It allows the food to cook evenly and retains moisture, resulting in tender and flavorful results.

What is the purpose of cooking with a lid?

Covering a skillet, saucepan, or pot while cooking helps maintain temperature control, which is important for even cooking. It helps bring liquid to a boil faster, too (which uses less energy, aka, it’s more cost efficient, too). Covering the pot keeps steam from escaping, too.

Should I fry with lid on or off?

Frying. Moisture also interferes with creating a caramelized, crispy surface on stir-fried and deep-fried foods. All foods give off some steam when cooking, so it’s important to leave the lid off the pan during frying so the steam evaporates rather than collecting on the lid and dripping back into the hot oil.

What is a frying pan with a lid called?

A pan of similar dimensions, but with less flared, more vertical sides and often with a lid, is called a sauté pan.
