Why chefs are embracing the electric stove

[nowty]

I use hybrid saucepan types, aluminium with a steel plate in the base, so they work on any heat source.

thanks... what are the interiors/linings? Just plain aluminium (like the saucepans we are still using after 50 years?)

No they are non stick coated, you only get a few years out of them whatever the heat source you use. My mum has copper bottom steel pans she still uses and they were a wedding present to her 65 years ago.

OK
I was looking at this https://thegoodlifedesigns.com/best-non ... ut-teflon/ (admittedly USA and with plenty of BS like "diamond-infused ceramic coating" which automatically makes me suspicious)
but it does talk about conditioning and looking after ceramic coatings etc,

I am quite careful not to overheat them when frying, I use an IR thermometer to get the correct temp.

That sounds like the ones I've ordered, says they have an impact bonded steel base plate.

My concern. What about black outs !

With a gas hob and wood stove whats to worry about.

Wow Nowty, 65 years that's testimony to their durability. I wonder how many hours she may have spent washing them up after use!

Apart from the ceramic lid handles which broke off when I was a child, they are still in good condition, my mum still uses brillo pads to clean then.

Over the years I have grown proficient at replacing broken pan lid handles with reclaimed wooden draw knobs. It’s a very easy repair and gives a new lease of life.

Is aluminium still linked to Alzheimer's?

[Mr Gus]

Aluminium ..as you succinctly put it, is still "associated" with Alzheimer's .

Being explored currently though is infection & gut bacteria in early years, which latterly the body loses the fight with as the body ages. in relation to Alzheimer's.

I place a lot of generally ignored doctoring re gut use of gaviscon & the lack of cushiong guts from medicines regularly taken & the
like, hard drinking, poor diet, stress, to be linkedwith gut bacteria, or the lack in decent qty thereof.


My own hill climb recovery i've attributed to taking a decent amount of probiotics, whilst the wife is taking pre & probiotics & life, gut health, sleep has improved greatly as a result of first flooding with gut bacterium & latterly maintenance dose.

You can swap one extreme (aluminium) water bottles, for another, nalgene / tritan & then read that the jury is out on that just less well known currently.

I'm more concerned with non-stick, in combination with aluminium than aluminium itself so for new pans chose to simply try the cheap & good enough stainless steel with a fine ceramic interior layer, ..our other new for induction was a similar dedicated frying type pan of slightly heavier construction by "green chef" as I recall, which wife bought on a whim whilst out one day.

Part of our choice was how well simple stainless steel had worked wih our instantpots, fry pan stain cleaner lift & clean with salt (mild abrasive, maldons) or vinegar & bicarb powder slurry left overnight.

No complaints, although do bear in mind not much is cooked from raw in our pans, merely sear finished after sous vide.

The ikea pan wok, handles day old rice for stir frys just fine
How much of an economy build would need to be referred to dedicated pans n' pots forums if such a thing exists.
