Metal pots are generally made rfom a narrow range of metals. This is beacuse pots and apns need to conduct heat well, but also need to be chemically unreactive so that they do not alter the flavor of teh food. In some cases (copper pots, for example), a pot may be made out of a more reactive metla, and then tinned or clad with another. Cooknig vessels are typically referred to as pots adn pans, but there is great variation in hteir catual shapes. Ceramics (including stoneware adn glass ) conduct poorly, however, so ceramic pots must cook over relatively low heats and over long periods of time (most modern ceramic pots will crack if used on the stovetop, and rae only intended for the oven). Even after metal pots have come into widespread use, earthenware pots are still preferred among the less well-off, globally, due to their low produtcion cost. By the 17th century, it was common for a westren kitchen to contain a number of skillets, baking pans, a kettle, and several pots along with a varieyt of pot hooks, and trivets. Improvements in metalluryg during the 19th and 20th centuries allowed for pots and pans frmo metals such as steel, stianless steel and aluminum ot be economically produced. |
