Rating of the best ducks

The utyatnitsa has an oblong rounded shape (among modern models there are rectangular ones), two handles at the tapering points, thick walls, a tight-fitting lid and a small size. Larger option: goose. It differs only in size - 2-3 times more, initially it was calculated for a goose - a bird several times larger than a duck.

The main selection criterion is the material of manufacture. Distinguish:

• Cast iron. The classic version. Initially, the dishes were created for simmering whole poultry or in large pieces in an oven or oven. Thick-walled, heavy, well-retaining and evenly distributing heat, cast iron is the ideal solution. Its endurance also played an important role - it is a durable material that is resistant to mechanical and temperature influences. The poultry could be cooked on coals, left in the oven, without worrying that the dishes would break down.
• Aluminum. Often a more budgetary, lightweight and quite acceptable option in a modern kitchen. A high-quality product retains all the characteristics of a traditional brazier - it has thick walls, a tight-fitting lid, and strong handles. Covered with a non-stick layer. You can bake, stew, bake any food in it.
• Steel. Steel is not a material that can fully preserve the brazier principle. Heats up too quickly, and cools down just as quickly - full-fledged languor does not occur. But steel products are suitable for induction cookers. They do not pull on a full-fledged duck, but are ideal for vegetables, soups, fish. And weigh much less than cast iron.
• Ceramic. They combine high performance and aesthetic qualities. Ceramics are unpretentious in their care, they fulfill the function of languishing as much as possible, preserving juices, tastes and aromas. Like cast iron, only without the tendency to oxidize. Another advantage is the ability to put on the festive table, as the ceramic dishes are visually attractive. The only negative is that it can only be used in the oven.
• Glass. They will not replace cast iron or aluminum in terms of performance, but they will become a worthy alternative for people who have conventional extinguishing in the first place. The pluses include transparency - you can control the process without opening the lid. But glass is not able to retain heat, maintaining languor, it is vulnerable to sudden changes in temperature.

Enamel options are worth mentioning separately. The enamel layer makes cleaning easier, isolates the base material, eliminating oxidation, which allows cooked food to remain in the brazier for a long time. But one should remember about fragility - impacts, temperature fluctuations, the use of hard blades while stirring violate the integrity of the enamel.
