Tri Ply Stainless Steel VS Ordinary Stainless Steel: Explore Different Cookware Structure

Compared with ordinary stainless steel cookware, the catering industry prefers tri ply stainless steel cookware. What is the difference between the two? As a professional stainless steel kitchenware manufacturer, Hengguang focuses on providing high-quality cookware solutions to customers around the world. Today, we will take you to make a comparison： three-ply stainless steel vs ordinary stainless steel.

Stainless steel materials and structures difference

Ordinary cooker usually uses a single layer of material, mostly 201 or 304 stainless steel, with a simple structure and weak thermal conductivity, which is prone to problems such as local overheating and sticking of the bottom of the pot.

Tri ply stainless steel cookware adopts a three-ply composite structure:

• Inner layer: The food contact surface is 304 stainless steel, which is safe, hygienic and corrosion-resistant.
• Middle layer: High thermal conductivity aluminum core or all-aluminum alloy to ensure fast and uniform heat conduction.
• Outer layer: 430 stainless steel, suitable for a variety of stoves such as induction cookers and gas stoves.

This composite structure greatly improves the thermal conductivity and overall performance of the pot.

Heating uniformity and cooking efficiency difference

When ordinary cookware is heated, the heat is easily concentrated in the center of the bottom of the pot, resulting in local over-high temperature and easy burning, but the temperature of the edge of the pot is insufficient, affecting the overall cooking effect.

Since the middle aluminum layer exists, the tri-ply stainless steel cookware is capable of rapid heat conduction and even heating, which greatly reduces the temperature difference, thus the food is more evenly heated and not easy to stick to the pot, while improving the cooking efficiency and energy saving.

Service life and stability difference

The tri ply structure not only helps to upgrade the performance, but also supports a longer service life. The tri-ply stainless steel cookware produced by Hengguang is not easy to deform in a high-temperature environment, the pot body is sturdy and durable, and has stronger corrosion resistance.

After long-term use or frequent high-temperature heating, ordinary cookware often have problems such as bulging, deformation, and even discoloration of the bottom of the pot, affecting the safety of use and life.

Appearance and feel difference

Tri ply stainless steel cookware is processed with mirror polishing or brushing technology, with a simple and generous appearance, high-grade texture, and a modern kitchen aesthetic. At the same time, the ergonomically designed handles, lids and connection methods enhance the sense of safety and comfort in use.

In contrast, most ordinary cookware is of conventional design, with a rough feel and detail processing, which is not suitable for the high-end kitchenware market or brand customization needs.

Tri ply stainless steel cookware is more suitable for customization and multi-scene use
