Note: Stainless steel tends to be very durable. This type of cookware tends to not leach off any of its metallic properties into food. This means the cookware itself does not impact flavor quality. Quality stainless steel ensures an even cooking of foods. When the cookware is well made, the cooking properties can be nearly impossible to beat or match.
