Variety	Best for
Bartlett (Williams)	Fresh eating and canning: the classic sweet, juicy pear that softens as it ripens.
Bosc	Poaching and baking: firm, dense flesh that holds its shape under heat.
Anjou	All-purpose: mild and sweet, good raw or cooked, and stores well.
Conference	Poaching and tarts: the UK standard, firm and elongated with reliable texture.
Comice	Fresh eating and cheese boards: very sweet and buttery, fragile when ripe.
