How to Choose a Good Pan for Risotto
For this recipe, you will need a pan with a large surface area for evaporation, and a thick
bottom for even heat distribution. Here is an example of what you don’t want.
You can actually hear how thin it is and whatever you’re cooking has a greater potential
to burn. This pan is more appropriate as it has a think bottom. Copper is one of the best
options and will last you a lifetime, but they are heavy and quite expensive. Stainless
steel is very durable but does not distribute heat evenly unless you choose one with a
copper or aluminum disc in the base. Cast iron heats very evenly but is also heavy and
requires special care. In the end all of these pans would work for this recipe.
