As the name suggests, a soup pot is a pot used for making soup. The following materials are commonly used in our lives. Today we will take a look at the materials of soup pots. Recommended soup pot brands.

What materials are soup pots made of?

The most common ones are 18/10 or 18/8 stainless steel. The bottom of the pot is a composite bottom sandwiched with pure aluminum to achieve uniform heat conduction. (The thermal conductivity coefficient of stainless steel is 15, and that of aluminum is 230). Sturdy and durable, conducts heat evenly. But stainless steel is not suitable for storing high-salt, high-acid foods overnight. Representative brands: Fissler (Fissler), WMF (Fortenberg), Shanghai-made Zwilling (Zwilling), Supor, etc.

Cast iron pan. A cast iron pot of a certain thickness conducts heat evenly, has a large specific heat, and can retain heat for a long time, making it very suitable for making soup pots and stew pots. (Thermal conductivity of cast iron is 80) Representative brands: French LeCreuset (cool color), Staub (the latter is affiliated with Zwilling)

Cast aluminum pot. Pure aluminum conducts heat very quickly and evenly, and its specific heat is relatively large, making it suitable for making stew pots. Since pure aluminum is not suitable for direct contact with food, such pots are covered with a non-stick coating. Representative brands: German Berndes (Baodi),

Special ceramic/glass pots. Special ceramics/glass can withstand high temperatures of more than 1,000 degrees and sudden temperature differences of more than 400 degrees. Don't worry about dry burning, you can take it out of the freezer and heat it directly. It does not react chemically with any food ingredients. The disadvantage is that it conducts heat worse than metal, so it can only be used as a soup pot. (Thermal conductivity coefficient 40) Representative brands: American CorningWare (Corning), Visions (Jingcai), French Luminarc (Lemeiya)

Ceramic alloy pots. This type of pot has a layer of heat-conducting metal pots on the outer surface. Dense, hard special ceramic layer. It has all the advantages of stainless steel pots and cast iron pots, and is not afraid of acid, alkali and salt food. The price is relatively expensive, costing several thousand yuan each. Representative brand: German Silit (currently part of WMF Group)

There are also some other materials, such as Chinese casseroles, Japanese casseroles, etc. The casserole conducts heat slowly and evenly, and has good heat preservation performance. It is suitable for making soup (if you are not in a hurry).
