Employment
For cooking we can say that the best ones are made of tinned copper and aluminium, due to their conductivity and ease of handling. For table service, ready meals, we prefer to use those in tinned copper. All the high saucepans with two handles are extremely versatile, hence the name "faitout", while the low saucepans are suitable for risottos of all types and for cooking braised and roasted.
The single-handled version is widely used for making sauces, pulling stocks, mixing compounds, and making creams. The useful trick is to pay attention to the metals used for assembly or diluting. Wooden or polyethylene ladles are preferable. For non-stick versions, in our opinion, polysulphonate equipment is preferable, marked with the acronym: "Heat Resistance up to 210°C".
If equipped with two handles it has a wide range of sizes, which then constitute a real kitchen set.
They must always be washed carefully and never overheated before use. Always dose the flame in moderation and do not use if the tin covering has worn out. They are easy to handle and multipurpose and are suitable for different types of cooking, boiling, braising, stewing.
