The healthy lifestyle includes not only the use of foods rich in nutrients, but also the adherence to all the rules of their thermal processing during cooking. That's why it's important to buy high-quality cookware. Today, it is presented in the market in a huge variety and differs both in the construction material and in the design.
There are certain things to consider when choosing cookware.
- Thermal conductivity - Some metals are better heat conductors than others.
- Durability - Some types of cookware maintain their good appearance and last longer than others. Stainless steel is considered one of the best in this regard.
- Reactivity - Some metals react with certain foods. Aluminum, for example, tends to react with tomatoes and other acidic dishes. This means that your food can actually absorb some of the metal, so be careful with your cookware choices and make sure you know the reactivity of each product.
- Non-stick properties - If you want a low-fat diet, that is, cooking without adding oil and fats, then a good solution would be to buy a non-stick cookware. This cookware could be a cast aluminum cookware to combine the advantages of cast iron, a non-stick cookware without the weight of a cast iron cookware.
