However, this is still one of the better material choices as it is an excellent heat conductor which is a necessity with larger cooking vessels that need to evenly heat large quantities of food. Durability

Aluminum is a soft and lightweight material which also makes it easier to transport larger vessels. Stainless steel is also very conductive and will evenly distribute the heat throughout the base, which in turn evenly heats the food inside your pot. Larger pots will enable you to make bigger batches of food or simply use them for larger pieces of meat and vegetables. Like we have mentioned in the materials section, stainless steel is extremely durable and will not easily dent or scratch.

Place the pot on a scale and tare the weight to zero. Then, start filling the pot with water until it reaches the very top. Aluminum on the other hand has the tendency to dent very easily which will also affect how heat is conducted. Choosing the correct size cooking vessel is extremely important and will either make your dish a cakewalk or a nightmare!

Water has the same weight as it does volume. Basically what this means is that 1 liter of water weighs 1 kilogram.And what’s worse is that choosing an incorrect size could affect the outcome of your recipe – and not in a good way! Stainless steel is in our opinion is the best material and is slightly more expensive compared to aluminum. Measuring weight is much more accurate than measuring in cups, so this is a very accurate method to use.
