Both have aluminum cores inside, but the only thing I can tell is the multiclad core goes up the sides and costs alot more. Another creative marketing ploy or what?
To my understanding the multi clad has a layer of copper or other highly conductive core that runs up the sides to allow the pan and it's contents to heat faster and more evenly. Regular pans have layers only at the bottom if at all so the heat is not conducted up the sides as well\quickly. I have a nice set of basic All Clad pots and pans and they work very well.
I have recently been completely refurbishing my home. I have managed to sell old furniture and carpets etc in newspapers and online, and most other things have gone for re-cycling. Now; the kitchen! All of my old crockery, casserole dishes etc, I have smashed into small pieces, ready to use as drainage in plantpots in the garden….so, most of the stuff has been disposed of in an eco-friendly way. My problem now is, how do I dispose of old cutlery, particularly things like carving knives, bread knives etc safely?
Hi, you sound really busy and good on you for not just dumping it. Charity shops will be more than happy to take them or a scrap metal dealer, art college, I've seem some amazing mobiles made from twisted and bent cutlery
I would like to get away from non-stick coatings because I don't like that you can't use metal utensils with them and I worry about the toxicity of the coating. But I love the ease of clean-up, is there anything out there that is easy to clean but not coated with some questionable material?
Cast iron pots have to be cured with oil but, once done, it is a natural, non-stick surface. They work great and some say that it is healthier.
