Engineers are a remarkable group of people that have made living in the 21st century more convenient through innovation and creativity. In the kitchen we find evidence of their efforts in appliance design and function, also in the advances in ordinary cookware. From the materials used to ensure even heat distribution, to non-stick surfaces and even more subtle features , we’re offered convenience and safety in our cooking environment.
One of my favorite cookware features is the locking lid with a drain that allows me to keep pasta or vegetables in the pot warm and ready for mixing a special sauce. No more losing noodles down the drain through the strainer, or overheating my knuckles with steam.
