Report-Out of the frying pan

The wonder cookware, Teflon, has now been banished from kitchens around the world for its suspected carcinogenic properties. Now that Teflon’s dangerous side has been discovered, consumers are looking for other alternatives in cookware. India has always had a tradition of safe cooking utensils which were not only harmless but also imparted flavour and aroma to the food cooked in them.

First time cooking in a Teflon skillet, without any liberal sprinkling of oil or ghee is quite an experience for any cook. Non-stick cookware promises an easy clean-up and freedom from fat, but safety of Teflon cookware has come into serious question.

Non-stick cookware can be lethal to birds—even DuPont, Teflon’s maker, has a brochure about not using non-stick cookware near birds. And although DuPont promises that Teflon is safe for humans, the issue does not appear to be as simple as projected by Teflon cookware manufacturing. If those toxic Perfluorooctanoic Acid (PFOA) fumes can kill birds in a few minutes, what can they do to us?

PFOA is a synthetic chemical that is used in the manufacturing of traditional non-stick cookware coatings. The coating itself is called polytetrafluorethylene (PTFE)—most commonly known by its trademark name Teflon. Although PFOA is not present in the finished Teflon, it can be formed as a gas when the coating is subjected to high heat and begins to degrade. Some reports suggest that the heat doesn’t need to be that high for PFOA to be released. The US Environment Protection Agency (EPA) Science Advisory Board recommends upgrading the category of a substance, PFOA in this case, from “possible human carcinogen” to “likely human carcinogen.”

The associated health risks are so undeniable that DuPont has voluntarily committed to eliminate the sources of exposure to PFOA from their manufacturing operations and products by 2015. The EPA classifies PFOA as carcinogenic in animals, causing testicular, pancreatic, mammary and liver tumours in rats. Workers exposed to PFOA have increased risks of dying from or needing treatment for cancers of the pancreas and male reproductive tract. Numerous studies have shown that PFOA alters reproductive hormones in males, causing increased levels of estrogen and abnormal testosterone regulation and that PFOA or chemicals that break down into PFOA damage the thyroid gland. The list can go on and on, but what is important is that consumers are aware of the risks involved in uses of Teflon cookware.

Another concern is aluminum. Aluminum conducts heat beautifully, but direct contact with food is undesirable. It’s a soft and highly reactive metal that can leach into food, especially when acidic ingredients are cooked and stored. For example, tomato sauce has been shown to contain 3-6 mg aluminum (per 100g serving) after cooking in

aluminum pans—ingesting aluminum may be linked to Alzheimer’s disease. Proponents of aluminum cookware say it is debatable how many aluminum molecules get into food, but many scientists and doctors say it’s a serious health risk. Specially when a lot of scraping is involved while frying curry masalas in aluminum pans.

The safer alternatives

Anodized Aluminum: Cookware made of anodized aluminum was made famous by Caphalon—it is dark gray-black and has a smooth surface, but doesn’t feel coated. The electro-chemical anodizing process locks in the cookware’s base metal, aluminum, which makes it non-porous and non-reactive. The aluminum is unavailable to leach into food, and many cooks consider it an ideal non-stick and scratch-resistant cooking surface. The anodization can however breakdown over time, especially with the frequent cooking of acidic foods such as sauces, or use of curry masalas of caustic soaps.

Cast Iron: This may seem odd to those who do not know, but heavy cast iron pans are beautifully non-stick when properly seasoned (means lightly oiled and baked). They hold heat well and are good to cook in. They do require some extra maintenance but they are inexpensive and add a little iron to your diet as well.

Clad cookware: Layered cookware is called ‘clad’. These are a little costly especially ‘all-clad’ pots and pans. Typically, stainless steel surrounds a sandwich of other metals, such as aluminum or copper. The inert stainless steel provides the cooking surface, while the aluminum or copper improves the heat conductivity.

Enameled cast iron: Enameled cast iron is more expensive than cast iron, but also more non-stick than plain cast iron. This cookware can chip unless one is very careful.

Glass: Glass is the most inert of all cookware, meaning that it doesn’t leach metals or other ingredients into the food.

Green Pans: This line of cookware is a new non-stick material called Thermolon. It is being billed as the first environment-friendly, PFOA-free, PTFE-free non-stick cookware and uses a ceramic-based nano non-stick technology. It is relatively affordable. However the relatively new nanotechnology safety is open to debate.

Stainless Steel: Stainless is a very good choice for healthy cooking because it is one of the most inert metals. It reportedly does leach a small amount of nickel. One drawback is that it doesn’t conduct heat evenly, so stainless “clad,” described before, is a better option.

Wok or Indian Karahi: Cheap and easy, a cooking utensil worth its weight in gold. Make sure it is a carbon steel or cast iron version; some western woks or karahi’s are coated with Teflon.

Stick-free cooking tips: Non-Teflon pans require a small bit of oil–but the few extra calories are better than a poisoned bird or cancer.

The stick-free trick for non-Teflon pans is temperature. The pan needs to be hot! If food is added to a too-cool pan it doesn’t instantly sear. Searing results in the release of water, which prevents sticking.

Use common sense when considering searing: don’t overload the pan, heat the pan in proportion to how much food you are cooking, and remove the food from the fridge before cooking to take the chill off.

Also remember this tip from many a chef: when searing food, don’t flip it too soon. The food needs to attain a brown and slightly crisp surface before flipping or it will, yes, stick.

WHAT CAN YOU DO?

Although some exposures to PFCs are unavoidable, as a consumer you can choose not to spend money on products containing Teﬂon. Consider these suggestions:

Replace Teﬂon cookware. Consider using stainless steel, cast iron, other types of cookwares.

Look for the Teﬂon label on carpets and clothes. With normal wear and tear, these coatings could break down and contaminate your home and family. If you are unsure whether the fabric has been treated with Teﬂon, ask. Make it clear to your retailer that Teﬂon coatings are unacceptable to you.

Avoid fast food not just because of the calories but also because of its packaging. Fast food is likely to be packaged in PFC-coated boxes and paper. PFCs, the chemicals Teﬂon is made from, are also used in containers for a wide variety of supermarket foods, including microwave French fries, pizzas and popcorn.

Avoid cosmetics and toiletries with ‘ﬂuoro’, ‘perﬂuoro’ or PTFE on the ingredient list. Products that might contain PFCs include face and body lotions, pressed powders, nail polish, and shaving cream.

Consumer VOICE -
About the Author:

Consumer VOICE was founded by teachers and students at the University of Delhi in the beginning of the academic year 1983-84. Till mid 1986, Consumer VOICE functioned as an unregistered voluntary consumer association.

On 28 June 1986, it was registered as a Public Charitable Trust with noted jurist, Justice (retd.) V.M. Tarkunde and Prof. P.K. Ghosh of the Delhi School of Economics as founder donors and Dr. Sri Ram Khanna and Mr Rajan Karanjawala as Trustees.

In 1988 the Dept of Company Affairs Govt. of India accorded recognition to Consumer VOICE under the MRTP Act. The trust has since been granted exemption under section 80-G of the Income Tax Act and, donations made to the Trust are exempt from Tax. However the organization does not accept donations from private enterprise in order to ensure objectivity, or from individuals except when the donor is genuinely committed to espouse the cause of consumer protection.

As one of its first consumer-rights initiative, VOICE filed a suit against the ‘Wills Made for Each Other’ tobacco campaign, as it was monopolistic and discriminated against consumers who did not smoke. VOICE also challenged television manufacturers which were selling colour television sets at a premium to consumers during the Asiad Games.

In 1997, VOICE started to publish Consumer VOICE, a bi-monthly magazine that focused on bringing consumers information on product performance. ‘Voltage Stabilisers’ were one of the first product tests to be published in Consumer VOICE magazine.

The publisher of Consumer VOICE magazine since 1999 it is currently working in close co-ordination with the Dept of Consumer Affairs, Govt of India, on a comparative product testing project. The project aims to test a wide range of products most commonly used by Indian consumers in NABL-accredited laboratories. The test results are then published in Consumer VOICE magazine.

Medieval period

Anglo-Saxon

Detail of stitching on the Bayeux Tapestry.

Little physical evidence survives to reconstruct the early development of English embroidery before the Norman Conquest of 1066. Stitches reinforcing the seams of a garment in the Sutton Hoo ship burial may have been intended as decoration, and so be classed as embroidery, and fragments of a scrolling border worked in stem stitch were recovered from a grave in Kempston, Bedfordshire. Some embroidered pieces of about 850 preserved in Maaseik, Belgium, are generally assumed to be Anglo-Saxon work based on their similarity to contemporary manuscript illustrations and sculptures of animals and interlace.

The documentary evidence is rather richer than the physical remains. Part of the reason for both these facts is the taste among the late Anglo-Saxon elite for embroidering using lavish amounts of precious metal thread, especially gold, which both gave items a magnificence and expense worth recording, and meant that they were well worth burning to recover the bullion. Three old vestments, almost certainly Anglo-Saxon, recycled in this way at Canterbury Cathedral in the 1370s, produced over 250 of gold – a huge amount. Richly embroidered hangings were used in both churches and the houses of the rich, but vestments were the most richly embellished of all, of a “particularly English” richness. Most of these were sent back to Normandy or burnt for their metal after the Norman conquest. An image of part of a huge gold acanthus flower on the back of a gold-bordered chasuble, almost certainly depicting a specific real vestment, can be seen in the Benedictional of St. thelwold (fol. 118v).

Scholars agree that three embroidered items from the coffin of St Cuthbert in Durham are Anglo-Saxon work, based on an inscription describing their commission by Queen lffld between 909 and 916. These include a stole and maniple ornamented with figures of prophets outlined in stem stitch and filled with split stitch, with halos in gold thread worked with underside couching. The quality of this silk embroidery on a gold background is “unparalleled in Europe at this time.”

Scholarly consensus favours an Anglo-Saxon, probably Kentish origin for the Bayeux tapestry. This famous narrative of the Conquest is not a true woven tapestry but an embroidered hanging worked in wool yarn on a tabby-woven linen ground using outline or stem stitch for lettering and the outlines of figures, and couching or laid work for filling in figures.
Opus Anglicanum

Main article: Opus Anglicanum

The Butler-Bowden Cope, 13301350, V&A Museum no. T.36-1955.

The Anglo-Saxon embroidery style combining split stitch and couching with silk and goldwork in gold or silver-gilt thread of the Durham examples flowered from the 12th to the 14th centuries into a style known to contemporaries as Opus Anglicanum or “English work”. Opus Anglicanum was made for both ecclesiastical and secular use on clothing, hangings, and other textiles. It was usually worked on linen or dark silks, or later, worked as individual motifs on linen and applied to velvet.

Throughout this period, the designs of embroidery paralleled fashions in manuscript illumination and architecture. Work of this period often featured continuous light scrolls and spirals with or without foliations, in addition to figures of kings and saints in geometrical frames or Gothic arches.

Opus Anglicanum was famous throughout Europe. A “Gregory of London” was working in Rome as a gold-embroiderer to Pope Alexander IV in 1263, and the Vatican inventory in Rome of 1295 records well over 100 pieces of English work. Notable surviving examples of Opus Anglicanum include Syon Cope and the Butler-Bowden Cope of 133050 in the Victoria and Albert Museum, embroidered with silver and silver-gilt thread and coloured silks on silk velvet, which was disassembled and later reassembled into a cope in the 19th century.

Professional embroiderers

By the 13th century, most English goldwork was made in London workshops, which produced ecclesiastical work, clothing and furnishings for royalty and the nobility, heraldic banners and horse-trappings, and the ceremonial regalia for the great Livery Companies of the City of London and for the court.

The founding of the embroiderer’s guild in London is attributed to the 14th century or earlier, but its early documents were lost in the Great Fire of London in the 17th century. An indenture of 23 March 1515 records the establishment of Broderers’ Hall in Cutter Lane in that year,, and the guild was officially incorporated (or reincorporated) by Royal Charter under Elizabeth I in 1561 as the Worshipful Company of Broderers. Professional embroiders were also attached to the great households of England, but it is unlikely that those working far from London were members of the Company.

From the middle of the 14th century, money that had previously been spent on luxury goods like lavish embroidery was redirected to military expenditure, and imported Italian figured silks competed with native embroidery traditions. Varieties of design in textiles succeeded each other very rapidly, and they were more readily available than the more leisurely produced needlework. The work produced by the London workshops was simplified to meet the demands of this deteriorating market. The new techniques required less work and smaller quantities of expensive materials. Surface couching replaced underside couching, and allover embroidery was replaced by individual motifs worked on linen and then applied to figured silks or silk velvets. Increasingly, designs for embroidery were derived directly from woven patterns, “thus losing not only their former individuality and richness, but also their former … story-telling interest.”

Renaissance to Restoration

The second great flowering of English embroidery, after Opus Anglicanum, took place in the reign of Elizabeth I.

Although the majority of surviving English embroidery from the medieval period was intended for church use, this demand decreased radically with the Protestant Reformation. In contrast, the bulk of the surving embroidery of the Tudor, Elizabethan, and Jacobean eras is for domestic use, whether for clothing or household decoration. The stable society that existed between the accession of Elizabeth in 1558 and the English Civil War encouraged the building and furnishing of new houses, in which rich textiles played a part. Some embroidery was imported in this period, including the canvas work bed valances once thought to be English but now attributed to France, but the majority of work was made in Englandnd increasingly, by skilled amateurs, mostly women, working domestically, to designs by professional men and women, and later to published pattern books.

Tudor and Jacobean styles

A general taste for abundant surface ornamentation is reflected in both household furnishings and in fashionable court clothing from the mid-16th century through the reign of James I. A 1547 account of the wardobe of Henry VIII shows that just over half of the 224 items were ornamented with embroidery of some kind, and embroidered shirts and accessories were popular New Year’s gift to the Tudor monarchs. Fine linen shirts, chemises, ruffs, collars, coifs and caps were embroidered in monochrome silks and edged in lace. The monochrome works are classified as blackwork embroidery even when worked in other colours; red, crimson, blue, green, and pink were also popular.

Outer clothing and furnishings of woven silk brocades and velvets were ornamented with gold and silver embroidery in linear or scrolling patterns, applied bobbin lace and passementerie, and small jewels.

Margaret Laton’s embroidered jacket is typical of the early 17th century style. This jacket has survived and is in the Victoria and Albert Museum.

Appliqu work was popular in the Tudor era, especially for large-scale works such as wall hangings. In Medieval England, rich clothing had been bequeathed to the church to be remade into vestments; following the dissolution of the monasteries at the Reformation, the rich silks and velvets of the great monastic houses were cut up and repurposed to make hangings and cushions for private homes. Shapes cut from opulent fabrics and small motifs or slips worked on fine linen canvas were applied a background fabric of figured silk, velvet, or plain wool and embellished with embroidery, in a style deriving from the later, simpler forms of Medieval work.

Canvaswork in which the linen ground was covered entirely by tent, gobelin, or cross stitches in wool or silk thread was often used for cushion covers and small bags. Notable examples like the Bradford carpet, a pictorial table cover, were likley the work of professionals in the Broderers’ Company.

Polychrome (multicoloured) silk embroidery became fashionable in the reign of Elizabeth, and from c. 1590 to 1620 a uniquely English fashion arose for embroidered linen jackets worn informally or as part of masquing costume. These jackets usually featured scrolling floral patterns worked in a multiplicity of stitches. Similar patterns worked in 2-ply worsted wool called crewel on heavy linen for furnishings are characteristic of Jacobean embroidery.

Pattern sources

Blackwork embroidery of the 1530s (left) and 1590s (right).

Pattern books for geometric embroidery and needlelace were published in Germany as early as the 1520s. These featured the stepped, angular patterns characteristic of early blackwork, ultimately deriving from medieval Islamic Egypt. These patterns, seen in the portraits of Hans Holbein the Younger, were worked over counted threads in a double running stitch (later called Holbein stitch by English embroiderers).

The first pattern book for embroidery published in England was Moryssche & Damaschin renewed & encreased very popular for Goldsmiths & Embroiderers by Thomas Geminus (1545).Moryssche refers to Moorish or arabesque designs of spirals, scrolls, and zigzags. Scrolling patterns of flowers and leaves filled with geometric filling stitches are characteristic of blackwork from the 1540s through 1590s, and similar patterns worked in coloured silks appear from the 1560s, outlined in backstitch and filled with detached buttonhole stitch.

Additional pattern books for embroiderers appeared late in the century, followed by Richard Shorleyker’s A Schole-house for the Needle published in London in 1624. Other sources for embroidery designs were the popular herbals and emblem books. Both domestic and professional embroiderers probably relied on skilled draughtsmen or pattern-drawers to interpret these design sources and draw them out on linen ready to be stitched.

Early samplers

Main article: Sampler (needlework)

Printed patterns books were not easily obtainable, and a sampler or embroidered record of stitches and patterns was the most common form of reference. 16th century English samplers were stitched on a narrow band of fabric and totally covered with stitches. These band samplers were highly valued, often being mentioned in wills and passed down through the generations. These samplers were stitched using a variety of needlework styles, threads, and ornament.

The earliest dated surviving sampler, housed in the Victoria and Albert Museum, was made by Jane Bostocke who included her name and the date 1598 in the inscription, but the earliest documentary reference to sampler making goes back another hundred years, to the 1502 household expense accounts of Elizabeth of York, which record the purchase of an ell of linen to make a sampler for the queen.

From the early 17th century, samplers became a more formal and stylized part of a girl’s education, even as the motifs and patterns on the samplers faded from fashion.

Pictorial embroidery and stumpwork

Main article: Stumpwork

Mirror frame with stumpwork figures of Charles I and Henrietta Maria, 1630s

Following the death of James I and the accession of Charles I, elaborately embroidered clothing faded from popularity under the dual influences of rising Puritanism and the new court’s taste for French fashion with its lighter silks in solid colours accessorised with masses of linen and lace. In this new climate, needlework was praised by moralists as an appropriate occupation for girls and women in the home, and domestic embroidery for household use flourished. Embroidered pictures, mirror frames, workboxes, and other domestic objects of this era often depicted Biblical stories featuring characters dressed in the fashion of Charles and his queen Henrietta Maria, or after the Restoration, Charles II and Catherine of Braganza.

These stories were executed in canvaswork or in coloured silks in a uniquely English style called raised work, usually known by its modern name stumpwork. Raised work arose from the detached buttonhole stitch fillings and braided scrolls of late Elizabethan embroidery. Areas of the embroidery were worked on white or ivory silk grounds in a variety of stitches and prominent features were padded with horsehair or lambswool, or worked around wooden shapes or wire frames. Ribbons, spangles, beads, small pieces of lace, canvaswork slips, and other objects were added to increase the dimensionality of the finished work.

Crewel

Main articles: Crewel Work and Jacobean embroidery

Fanciful crewel leaf motif

Sets of bed hangings embroidered in crewel wools were another characteristic product of the Stuart era. These were worked on a new fabric, a natural twill weave from Bruges with a linen warp and cotton weft. Crewel wools of the 17th century were firmly twisted unlike the soft wools sold under that name today, and were dyed in deep rich shades of green, blue, red, yellow, and brown. Motifs of flowers and trees, with birds, insects, and animals, were worked at large scale in a variety of stitches. The origins of this work are in the polychrome embroidery on scrolling stems of the Elizabethan era, later blended with the Tree of Life and other motifs of Indian palampores, introduced by the trade of the East India Company.

After the Restoration, the patterns became ever more fanciful and exuberant. “It is an almost impossible task to describe the large leaves, since they bear no resemblance to anything natural, they are, however, rarely angular in outline, rejoicing rather in sweeping curves, and drooping points, curled over to display the under side of the leaf, a device that gave opening for much ingenuity in the arrangement of the stitches.”

Although usually called “Jacobean embroidery” by modern stitchers, crewel has its origins in the reign of James I but remained popular through the reign of Queen Anne and into the early 18th century, when a return to the simpler forms of the earliest work became fashionable.

Glorious Revolution to the Great War

Later Stuart

The accession of William III and Mary II following the Glorious Revolution of 1688 triggered another change in needlework fashions. Associations of stumpwork with the reign of the deposed Stuarts combined with Mary’s Dutch taste ushered in new styles influenced by Indian chintzes. From the 1690s, household furnishings such as chair covers and firescreens were the focus of embroidery in the home.

Georgian

Stoke Edith Wall Hanging, linen canvas embroidered with silk and wool, with some details in appliqu, 1710-1720 V&A Museum no. T.568-1996.

In the Georgian era, canvaswork was popular for chair coverings, footstools, screens and card tables. Embroidered pictures and upholstery both reflected the popular pastoral theme of men and women in the sheep-cropped English countryside. Other recurring themes include exotic Tree of Life patterns influenced by earlier crewelwork and chinoiserie with its fanciful imagery of an imaginary China, asymmetry in format and whimsical contrasts of scale. In contrast, needlepainting in silks and wools produced naturalistic portraits and domestic scenes.

Embroidery was once again an important element of fashion in the early 18th century. Aprons, stomachers, hanging pockets, shoes, gowns, and men’s coats and waistcoats were all decorated with embroidery.

Later samplers

Cross-stitch alphabet sampler worked by Elizabeth Laidman, 1760.

By the 18th century, sampler making had become an important part of girls’ education in boarding and institutional schools. A commonplace component was now an alphabet with numerals, possibly accompanied by various crowns and coronets, all used in marking household linens. Traditional embroidered motifs were now rearranged into decorative borders framing lengthy inscriptions or verses of an “improving” nature and small pictorial scenes. These new samplers were more useful as a record of accomplishment to be hung on the wall than as a practical stitch guide.

Tambourwork

Tambourwork was a new chainstitch embroidery fad of the 1780s influenced by Indian embroidered muslins. Stitched originally with a needle and later with a small hook, tambour takes its name from the round embroidery frame in which it was worked. Tambour was suited to the light, flowing ornament appropriate to the new muslin dresses of this period, and patterns were readily available in periodicals like the Lady’s Magazine which debuted in 1770.

Tambourwork was copied by machine early in the Industrial Revolution. As early as 1810, a “worked muslin cap … done in tambour stitch by a steam-engine” was on the market, and machine-made netting was in general use as a background by the 1820s.

Smocking

Main articles: smocking and smock-frock

The linen smock-frocks worn by rural workers, especially shepherds and waggoners, in parts of England and Wales from the early eighteenth century featured fullness across the back, breast, and sleeves folded into “tubes” (narrow unpressed pleats) held in place and decorated by smocking, a type of surface embroidery in a honeycomb pattern across the pleats that controls the fullness while allowing a degree of stretch.

Embroidery styles for smock-frocks varied by region, and a number of motifs became traditional for various occupations: wheel-shapes for carters and wagoners, sheep and crooks for shepherds, and so on. Most of this embroidery was done in heavy linen thread, often in the same color as the smock.

By the mid-nineteenth century, wearing of traditional smock-frocks by country laborers was dying out, and a romantic nostalgia for England’s rural past led to a fashion for women’s and children’s clothing loosely styled after smock-frocks. These garments are generally of very fine linen or cotton and feature delicate smocking embroidery done in cotton floss in contrasting colors; smocked garments with pastel-colored embroidery remain popular for babies.

Berlin work

Berlin work pattern

Main article: Berlin wool work

In the early 19th century, canvaswork in tent or petit point stitch again became popular. The new fashion, using printed patterns and coloured tapestry wools imported from Berlin, was called Berlin wool work. Patterns and wool for Berlin work appeared in London in 1831. Berlin work was stitched to hand-coloured or charted patterns, leaving little room for individual expression, and was so popular that “Berlin work” became synonymous with “canvaswork”. Its chief characteristic was intricate three-dimensional looks created by careful shading. By mid-century, Berlin work was executed in bright colours made possible by the new synthetic dyes. Berlin work was very durable and was made into furniture covers, cushions, bags, and slippers as well as for embroidered “copies” of popular paintings. The craze for Berlin work peaked around 1850 and died out in the 1870s, under the influence of a competing aesthetic that would become known as art needlework.

Art needlework

Artichoke art needlework panel, wool on linen, Morris & Co..

Main article: Art needlework

In 1848, the influential Gothic Revival architect G. E. Street co-wrote a book called Ecclesiastical Embroidery. He was a staunch advocate of abandoning faddish Berlin work in favour of more expressive embroidery techniques based on Opus Anglicanum. Street’s one-time apprentice, the Pre-Raphaelite poet, artist, and textile designer William Morris, embraced this aesthetic, resurrecting the techniques of freehand surface embroidery which had been popular from the Middle Ages to the 18th century. The new style, called art needlework, emphasized flat patterns with delicate shading in satin stitch accompanied by a number of novelty stitches. It was worked in silk or wool thread dyed with natural dyes on wool, silk, or linen grounds.

By the 1870s, Morris’s decorative arts firm Morris & Co. was offering both designs for embroideries and finished works in the art needlwork style. Morris became active in the growing movement to return originality and mastery of technique to embroidery. Morris and his daughter May were early supporters of the Royal School of Art Needlework, founded in 1872, whose aim was to “restore Ornamental Needlework for secular purposes to the high place it once held among decorative arts.”

Textiles worked in art needlework styles were featured at the various Arts and Crafts exhibitions from the 1890s to the Great War.

Modern period

Organizations whose origins date back as far as the Middle Ages remain active in supporting embroidery in Britain today.

The Worshipful Company of Broderers is now a charitable organiztion supporting excellence in embroidery.

The Royal School of Needlework is based at Hampton Court Palace and is engaged in textile restoration and conservation, as well as training professional embroiderers through a new 2-year Foundation Degree programme (in conjunction with the University for the Creative Arts) with a top-up to full BA(Hons) being available for the first time in the 2011/12 academic year. Previously, apprentices were trained by an intensive 3-year in-house programme. It is a registered charity and receives commissions from public bodies and individuals, including the Hastings embroidery of 1965 commemorating the 900th anniversary of the Battle of Hastings the following year, and the Overlord embroidery of 1968 commemorating the D-Day invasion of France during World War II, now in the D-Day museum in Southsea, Portsmouth.

The Embroiderers’ Guild, also based at Hampton Court, was founded in 1906 by sixteen former students of the Royal School of Art Needlework to represent the interests of embroidery. It is active in education and exhibition.

With regards to buying good cookware, there are a number of completely different options. Some people like to purchase a matched set of cookware, however seasoned cooks usually like to mix and match making an eclectic set that assures them the proper end to each dish they create.

It is hard to know what sort of pan works greatest for what kind of dish, so preserve this handy guideline available and you’ll never choose the mistaken sort of pan for whatever delectable dish you whip up.

Aluminum: Aluminum makes for an all around pan that can be utilized for a lot of things. It takes just a little little bit of metal wool utilized with elbow grease to maintain it shining, but the completed product is nicely worth the effort. A superb aluminum pan will provide even warmth distribution making it the proper choice for sautéing of frying food evenly.

Stainless Steel: In an ideal world, all of your pots and pans can be stainless steel, however in the actual world, their cost is a bit inhibitive to this dream. They are extremely straightforward to clean with chrome steel cleaner and practically unimaginable to destroy. It’s best to all the time buy stainless-steel pans with copper, aluminum, or laminated-steel bottoms. You too can discover pans which are clad in aluminum on the bottom and sides, to give an even distribution of heat. Stainless-steel pans are the all objective pan and can be used to cook dinner just about anything.

Teflon: Teflon is a coating that’s applied to many various pots and pans. Cookware that is coated with Teflon has a non-stick floor making it perfect for frying meals with out using plenty of oil. Clear up of Teflon coated pans can be very easy as a result of meals don’t stick to the surface. Cooking eggs in a Teflon pan is a simple activity as a result of the non-stick floor lets them slide out of the pan and onto your plate with out breaking. Teflon does have one problem. If you happen to use a steel utensil to stir your food you would scrape off the Teflon surface inflicting food to begin sticking to your pan. It’s best to always use wood or plastic utensils with your Teflon. On the upside, Teflon pans are slightly inexpensive, so in the event that they do get ruined, they are easy to replace.

Solid Iron: Likelihood is your Grandma had a forged iron pan or two and if you happen to inherited one in all her old beauties, the remnants of every meal she ever cooked have been captured in its sturdy coat. Cast iron should be seasoned before you use it for the first time. You season the pan by spreading melted shorting throughout its inside and putting it in a warm oven for a few hours. On occasion you swab the oil up the edges of the pan. Whenever you cook dinner in a cast iron pan, you must never wash it with the remainder of your cookware. Detergent and rust are the enemies of cast iron. Wash your cast iron pans with a gentle cleaning soap and dry instantly with a paper towel. It is even a good suggestion to take the dried pan and place it within the oven so the pilot light can dry up any moisture you missed. Forged iron skillets are improbable instruments for cooking a mouth watering steak.

Copper: Copper makes for a good looking pan, but in truth most copper pans serve an ornamental purpose in the kitchen. They are hard to maintain clear and distribute warmth poorly. There’s one job within the kitchen that is greatest executed in a copper pan or bowl. Egg whites being whipped for meringue come out way more airy and lightweight when whipped in a cooper dish.

Getting To Know The Different Types Of Cookware

Eating plays a major role in our daily lives. Whether you are an experienced chef, a complete novice or the occasional cook, a set of the best cookware that you can afford is essential for efficient cooking. Whether it is the tri-ply 18/10 stainless steel cookware or the non-stick hard-anodized cookware, good quality cooking utensils are sound investment.
