Cookware

Someone who mends pots and pans is a tinker.

Microwave ovens can work for decades. They can fail for a variety of reasons related to malfunctions in the electronics, but they are generally pretty tough. But that doesn't mean they can be roughed up. Avoid slamming the door. Don't use metal inside unless the manufacturer's directions permit it. Cover all items that can possibly splatter. Keep the cavity clean. Food thrown around the cavity can continue to cook even if it's stuck to the inside, and, though the cavity is steel, the door most likely isn't. The door and the window are vulnerable to damage from shock (slamming the door) and from heated food that can melt portions of the assembly. The door shuts to press against the front of the cavity and form a microwave seal by virtue of the spacing. If damaged by stress or heat, there might be a problem. Microwave leakage is undesirable for exactly the reason you think it is. Direct any questions or doubts at a local appliance person. Phone calls are pretty cheap if not actually free. That's within the budget of most people.

Yes, the handles on Amway Queen cookware are oven safe up to a certain temperature. Typically, cookware handles made of materials like stainless steel or silicone are oven safe up to 400-500 degrees Fahrenheit. It is important to check the specific product information or user manual for the exact temperature limit for the handles on your Amway Queen cookware to avoid any damage.

The sound of empty pots and pans being struck will produce a variety of metallic tones depending on their size, shape, and material composition. The initial sound when struck may be a sharp "clang" or "clank" as the metal reverberates, followed by a sustained "ring" or "ting" as the vibrations dissipate. The final sound as the vibrations fade away could be described as a soft "ting" or "ng" sound as the energy is fully dispersed.

The sound of empty pots and pans is primarily determined by the material composition and shape of the cookware. When struck, metal pots and pans produce a ringing sound due to their stiffness and high density, while non-metallic pots may produce a duller thud. The size and thickness of the cookware also influence the pitch and resonance of the sound produced. Overall, the sound of empty pots and pans is a result of the vibrations created by striking the material and the subsequent reverberations within the cookware.

Rit dye is a synthetic dye commonly used for fabric coloring and is not meant for use on cookware. If Rit dye has accidentally stained your pots and pans, it is not recommended to attempt to clean it off as it may not be safe for cooking. It is best to discard any cookware that has come into contact with Rit dye to avoid any potential health risks from ingesting the dye.

Yes, Benzer cookware can generally be used on

stoves. Benzer produces various types of cookware, including those made from materials like stainless steel, non-stick, and cast iron. However, the compatibility with a stove depends on the specific type of cookware and stove you have:

1. **Gas Stoves**: Most Benzer cookware, especially those made of stainless steel or cast iron, should work well on gas stoves.

2. **Electric Stoves**: Cookware with a flat, smooth base is ideal for electric stoves. Ensure the cookware’s base is compatible with the electric stove’s surface.

3. **Induction Stoves**: For induction stoves, the cookware must be magnetic. If the Benzer cookware is induction-compatible, it will work on an induction stove; otherwise, it won't.

Always check the manufacturer’s guidelines for your specific cookware to ensure it’s suitable for your type of stove.

Yes, rusted pots and pans are a result of a chemical change. This occurs when the metal reacts with oxygen and water to form iron oxide (rust), which is a different substance than the original metal.

One chemical property for Iron is that it conducts heat. One physical property is that it's malleable(it can be spread or shaped by being pounded with a hammer or by being forced with rollers).

Cookware is not made from ionic compounds because these compounds tend to be brittle and can crack or shatter when subjected to heat or sudden temperature changes. Metals like stainless steel, aluminum, and cast iron are preferred for making cookware because they have good thermal conductivity and are durable.

Ionic compounds are not suitable for cookware because they are not good conductors of heat. Metals such as aluminum and stainless steel are commonly used in cookware because they conduct heat efficiently and evenly. Additionally, ionic compounds have high melting points, which would make them impractical for cooking purposes.

Yes, All-Clad nonstick pans that are oven-safe can be used in the oven. However, it's essential to check the specific product information or the manufacturer's instructions to ensure that your particular pan is rated for oven use. Some nonstick pans have a temperature limit for oven use, so it's crucial not to exceed that temperature to avoid damaging the pan or compromising the nonstick coating.

Not sure about this but I have the impression it came from the Nasa's moon programme during the 60's

If you are looking for enamel cookware, a brilliant website to look at is Amazon who offer a great variety of these products at great prices. This is probably one of the best online shopping websites around in the modern age.

Although the cookware and small appliance brand Tefal offers its products worldwide, the manufacturer originated in France with its headquarters currently in Rumily, Haute-Savoie, France.

Aluminum cookware typically does not work on induction burners unless it has a magnetic base. Induction cooking relies on magnetic fields to generate heat, so only cookware made from ferromagnetic materials, like cast iron or stainless steel with magnetic properties, will function on induction cooktops. However, some aluminum cookware is designed with a magnetic layer or disc at the bottom to make it compatible with induction cooking. Always check the manufacturer's specifications to ensure compatibility.

Not if you clean the pot thoroughly and don't drink the water.

Because it is a great conductor. Gold and platinum are better but would make the pot too expensive. The bottom surface conducts the heat to evenly warm up the contents. The next best pot or pan for this is cast iron. Copper is a good conductor so the saucepan heats up better if it has a copper bottom.

Input is electricity and output is sound, heat and light.

After lots of research today, I wasnt able to get a definitive answer. I found on line several things which I will share. One was a 1948 issue of Rotary magazine with an ad for the Cookware and Alcoa mentioned.

Then I will tell you my mother had my pots originally and she was married in 1943. Her set came with metal lids and wood knobs, later ones had glass lids.

here is what other sites said

Aluminum Company was originally organized in Chicago in 1923 as the Club Aluminum Utensil Company for the purpose of selling aluminum pots and pans in the home on the "party" plan, much like Tupperware was sold in later years. A severe downturn in sales during the depression put the company into bankruptcy in 1933. Club Aluminum survived the depression and eventually was renamed Club Products; the company was acquired by Standard International Corporation in 1968.

Hope this helps.

Because if the handles were just metal, then the handles would get much hotter much faster than a rubber handle would.

Skillets are most often made from cast iron, and that is where they get their heavy structure, ideal for many cooking methods.

A skillet can be defined as a small frying pan (frypan) or - mainly in parts of the UK - a small saucepan; it can be made of any suitable materials, usually metal.
