The All-Clad pan had the best and most even heat conductivity of any of the pans in the demonstration. All-Clad cookware is available at Kiss the Cook. The pans are also available with a non-stick finish. Ice cream aficionados will enjoy a special ice cream scoop filled with a liquid that heats up slightly from the warmth of your hand. This makes the scoop slice much more easily through hard ice cream.
High heat ruins the defrosting effect.
Cookbooks Many home cooks collect cookbooks as a hobby. Some people even admit they just love to read the books, although they never get around to cooking many of the recipes. So cookbooks can make good gifts. For example, if you want to know how best to roast a turkey, as well as why this method works, consult Cook's Illustrated. The Best Recipe is a collection of the magazine editors' picks from the pages of the magazine.
