>Aluminum>Cast iron>Ceramic>Copper>Granite>Stainless Steel>TeflonWhat is best for cooking?
Titanium
>>106651726Stainless. Minimum maintenance, lasts forever and cooks just about anything you can throw at it. Only make sure it's hot and greasy enough or shit will stick.42a2x
>>106651742and Cast iron. You don't need anything else.
"well-lubricated" cast iron
>Aluminumpoison>Cast ironthe best if you can maintain it>Ceramicgood but not very durable>Copperpoison>GraniteI'm not even sure if this is actually granite. years ago I asked a store employee how they were even made and she just stared at me. I assume it's just rebranded teflon>Stainless Steelmust own at least one for non-frying purposes (like stews and soups)>Teflonlmao
>>106651726Cast iron
cast iron, carbon steel, and stainless steel are all good for different applications. Skip the rest.
glass
>>106652040borosilicate mogs soda lime
>>106651726For me its either always cast iron or stainless steel.. or a a big ceramic coated cast iron por oven.. but that always sits in the China cabinet and it never used.
>>106651998>Copper>poisoncopper is naturally anti-bacterial
silver, but you can get mixed stainless/copper pans that are good enough
>>106652354>this poison is antibacterialCool, it's still poison tho
>>106651726Stainless steel and carbon steel are my most used. Cast iron can be nice but if you have an electric stove its a pain. The rest are zogged and usually bound to an aluminum base
copper is fine if you don't cook acidic food like tomatoes in it, conducts heat better than anything else and we need some copper. Too much copper isn't good though.
>>106651726Carbon steel, it's a lot like cast iron (seasoning required) but lighter
>heavy af stainless steelbest for almost everything except eggs and crepes>non stick whateverfor eggs and crepes, replace every year or twice a year if used frequently >inb4 cook your eggs in stainless steelI don't like my eggs drenched in fat
>>106651726Stainless Steel is best.I have cast iron pan but I don't like it, it's heavy and everything sticks on it.
>>106651769this
>>106652755>stainless steel>best for almost everything except eggswhy? I just made scrambled eggs on a lifetime stainless pan
>>106651767what helps is heating it for a few mins then tossing some drops of water on it. if the water jumps around, floatingly, it's fine to cook in.if you don't then shit will stick
>eggs>crepesI'm vegan and just eat regular pancakes so no teflon for me
>>106651726Stainless because you can throw it in the dish washer and it's good for frying steaks. Then cast iron which is still easier to handle than forged iron. Just don't go higher than medium heat. Teflon for scrambled eggs. Ceramic is the worst because you can bin it if you heat it too high once. A damaged ceramic surface must be more harmful than a scratched Teflon surface
>>106651769Literally this and never wash off the grease. After a while it gets a non-poisonous non-stick coating.
>>106652354>things that kill living organisms are good for you bro
>>106653931copper is an essential mineral
>>106653947So is lead
>>106652354most poisons are
>>106651726Whatever that is.
>>106652755You can make crepes just fine even on the shittiest Ikea stainless steel pan
>>106654165at that time they used lead most likely, poisoning themselves with every meal
Stainless Steel for anything not requiring to much heat.Enamel Cast Iron for heat requirement.Easiest maintenance and durability.
>>106651726ceramic. literally never going back to teflon/stainless again>>106651767>

Titanium. All my cookware is titanium. Thanks Mom!
>>106654946skill issue
>>106651726Stainless steel/aluminum composite.
>>106651769Yes unless you have an inductive stove in which case you should change your stove
>>106651726I have a carbon steel pan that I use daily. It's like cast iron but takes less time to season properly.
>glass container>>microwavethaws anything in 10 minutes (thaw function or low Wattage)cooks in under 5 minutesliteral cheat codebut yea cast iron (even badly maintained), stainless, ceramic or that titanium (didn't know this was a thing)avoid teflon except for pancakes and do not use metalware on it = don't scratch it
>>106652459No, your body needs copper. Iron is poison.
>>106653962Hi pharma bro. No I'm not buying your iron supplements.
>>106651726Cast iron pans and copper pots are the most trustworthy from a health perspective Old is gold and both of those have been used for a long time>>106651998Copper is a trace mineral it’s not poison dummyCast iron is good tho
>>106652459Fucking retardCopper pots are the healthiest Cast iron pans are the healthiest option for pans Every form of life on earth needs copper
The best is anodized aluminum with ceramic coating. Anyone who says otherwise doesn't cook.fact: high quality anodized aluminum is as scratch resistant as stainless steelfact: ceramic coatings are both as non-stick as any heat toxic alternative while being far more durable.fact: aluminum has quicker and better heat transfer characteristics than stainless steelfact: you can get anodized aluminum non-stick ceramic pans with induction inserts should you need themFACT.
>>106655932>Every form of life on earth needs copperExcept bacteria it seems. Which it kills.
>>106655967>fact: ceramic coatings are both as non-stick as any heat toxic alternative while being far more durable.Most ceramic coatings are based on siloxane (just like silicone). So they aren't extremely high temperature resistant. They also aren't nearly as wear resistant as PTFE. Silicone thermal decomposition is a hell of a lot less toxic than PTFE though.The inorganic ceramic coatings which can actually take a lot of heat (Greenpan) are non stick for a couple weeks.
