Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food. — Hippocrates, 460-370 BC, Ancient Greek physician The way and place where food is cooked matter significantly. The choice of pots and pans plays a crucial role in enhancing the culinary experience. It not only makes food more palatable and easier to digest but also imparts its own subtle flavor. Some cooking surfaces, apart from adding specific tastes, introduce texture and color to the dishes. This is why you will find certain foods prepared in iron works, earthen pots, copper casseroles, cast-iron pans, and more. Teflon coating has revolutionized cooking by enabling oil-less preparations through its non-stick surface. Aluminium cookware, on the other hand, boasts advantages like efficient heat conduction, lightweight design, and durability. Hard anodized aluminium brings additional benefits, making utensils elegant, non-stick, and Teflon-free, eliminating concerns about peeling and facilitating easy cleaning. Stainless steel, often considered an environmentally friendly choice, remains virtually unchanged for years, with technological advancements matching its performance to that of aluminium cookware.
