When you purchase a pan, make sure to get a quality one despite the need to save money. Sometimes cheap is expensive and you may find yourself buying countless pans at cheap prices when you would have bought one and closed that chapter.
Due to high temperatures, the pan may warp easily because of the material or if it may happen to be dropped, it may become bent very easily. Warping may result if the burner is smaller or larger than the pan hence focusing the heat at one point causing that part of the pan to expand.
When the pan cools and constrains, the pan takes up the new shape. This happens mostly in the middle of the pan causing it to rise and make the food cook unevenly. The rapid heating and cooling may cause warping also for e. The thickness of the metal and the method of manufacturing determine how quickly they warp due to exposure to heat. Stamped pans, for example, warp more rapidly than spun pans because of the stretching at the knee.
Whereas, hard metals like stainless steel or carbon are resistant to temperature hikes, making them a suitable option for high-heat frying.
So, yes, even when warping may seem like an inevitable cookware issue, it can be easily prevented with the right care and precaution. However, before we learn how to undo the damage, identifying what kitchen mistakes lead to pan warping is important.
Many homeowners unknowingly jeopardize the quality and luster of their pans by exposing them to high heat , washing them the wrong way, or cooking too many things in a small-sized frying pan. As discussed above, a non-stick frying pan or cast aluminum pan is likely to warp faster because of excessive heat.
This is because the instant thermal shock causes different areas of the cookware to expand unevenly and end up bulging. When you put thawed meat or cold veggies to sizzle over a high heated pan, the sudden contact with cold food will cause it to warp quickly. This is because the temperature difference between the pan and the food you just put is worlds apart. The temperature difference between the piping hot pan and the air can often be too much, causing your cookware to develop cold spots.
Most people throw a super-hot pan in the sink right after they plate out their food thinking that the quicker they rinse and scrub it, the lesser the hassle. However, rinsing under cold water triggers the atom activity of the metal, which results in uneven contraction and thus, the ugly warps. It is certainly tempting to quell the heat of the pan with cold tap water.
The thermal shock will result in a rapid expansion of the metal, birthing warps on the pan right under your nose! This is one reason why cookware companies always advise that you allow the metal pan to cool completely before rinsing it. Avoid abrupt or sudden temperature changes. Abrupt changes in temperature are likely to result in warping. Try gradually heating your pan up in the oven rather than placing an empty pan straight into a hot oven. Spread food evenly over the bottom of the baking pan.
