Material: One of the most important factors to consider when choosing commercial cookware is the material it is made of. Stainless steel is a popular option because it is durable, easy to clean, and resistant to corrosion. Copper is another popular choice because it heats up quickly and evenly, although it can be more expensive. Cast iron is also a popular material for cookware because it can be used on all cooking surfaces, including induction, and can withstand high temperatures.
Size and Capacity: Consider the size and capacity of the cookware you need. Commercial cookware typically comes in a range of sizes and capacities, so think about the amount of food you will be cooking at one time and choose a size that is appropriate for your needs. You may also want to consider stackability, as this can be important for storage purposes.
Heat Conductivity: Look for cookware with good heat conductivity, which means it heats up quickly and distributes heat evenly. This will help ensure that your food cooks evenly and doesn't burn in certain spots.
Cookware Type and Shape: Consider the shape of the cookware you need. Different shapes are better suited for different types of cooking. For example, a deep pot is better for making soups and stews, while a flat skillet is better for frying and sautéing.
Durability: Choose cookware that is durable and built to last. Commercial cookware is often subjected to heavy use, so you want to make sure it can withstand the wear and tear of daily use.
