Cookware is a basic part of any kitchen, but many of us wonder which type is best. Non-stick pans are convenient, but some worry that they may affect the nutritional value of food. Stainless steel is a popular choice, while a section of people swear by cooking in clay pots. To address these concerns, author Krish Ashok has created a LOL video. In his Instagram post, Krish Ashok explains that he has reviewed numerous studies and reference books on the effects of cookware on toxins and nutrients and even consulted the “head chef of the restaurant at the end of the universe.” His conclusion? You can use any cookware you like. According to Krish Ashok, all types – whether stainless steel, triply, terracotta, clay, cast iron, pure iron, stone or ceramic – do not affect the nutritional value of food. What matters most, he says, is the cooking time and temperature. Choose cookware that is convenient, easy to maintain, and affordable.
