Healthy Cookwares
Hare Krishna Devotees,
Dandavats, All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
Cooking pot releases it's substance in food while being cooked in it. Best cooking is one in earthen pots, which is more or less practically impossible here. Earth releases elements which are best for body constitution. Jagannath Puri cooking happens in earthen pots.
Brass is second best option as far as metals are concerned, keep in mind, it's costly. Cast iron is also very good, releasing valuable iron for body in food. Copper pots are good for water storage,but not for cooking; esp. for food with acidic nature. Good quality stainless steel is comparatively better & affordable option. Non-stick cookware's use should be kept to bare minimum. Those pots are just coating over aluminium. Aluminium cookwares are something which we should completely avoid. Aluminium was introduced by British in Indian Jails to slow-poison freedom fighters. Microwave cooking is worst of all. It changes DNA constitution of food, leaving no nutrition. It's better to eat normal temperature or even cold food rather than putting it for 30 sec in microwave. It has complete capability to damage body in such a way that no root-cause may be diagnosed.
If someone is using aluminium for daily cooking, please consider alternatives. and go for non-aluminium cookware, for all future kitchen shopping.
PS: For mass cooking, aluminium pots may be used for all practical reasons. So please forgive.
Body is destined to perish in due course of time. We take it's care as long as it's usable in service of Krishna & His devotees.
