Boiled potatoes are an important element of home cooking, so all housewives know how to cook them.

However, not everyone sometimes thinks about the fact that even the dishes play an important role.

For example, in order for potatoes to boil evenly, you need to know about the right pan.

What kind of cookware is suitable for cooking vegetables?

First of all, you should choose a saucepan of a decent volume so that you can place the required amount of potatoes and water.

But it is not only the size of the pan that should play a decisive role.

It is important that the bottom of the pan is large enough. If it is thin, the potatoes may even burn slightly - this is the flavor the vegetable will have.

Also, cooking in a saucepan with a thin bottom changes the color of the potatoes. The vegetable turns out to be an unpleasant slightly brown shade. You will hardly want to put such a side dish on the table.

It is also important to remember the proportions of water. Some people add too much liquid. As a result, the taste of the potatoes turns out "blurred" and watery.

Try to pour in water so that it rises slightly above the potatoes, but does not "flood" them too much. A few centimeters will be quite enough.
