Let's Talk About Cooking Pots by bolorunfem(f): 4:10pm On May 26, 2008 |
I have 3 brands of cooking pots - Pardini (very thick), Tower (not so thick) and I've forgotten the name of the 3rd brand (coated inside with glass cover). - My Pardini pots are ever reliable, no sticks, no burns and no corossion - The coated type doesn't stick and doesn't burn but the coating peels off with use though I don't wash it with iron sponge. - My tower pots produce some whitish, salt-like fungi looking substance when not in use.Also, when kept in the fridge the portion above the soup/stew level also produces different color from that of the soup/stew (I fear food poisoning). I gathered that Tower Alminium recycles old pots to make new and hence there products are inferior. My questions are: Can anyone recommend a brand of cooking pots that is rugged and reliable? Is there a way I can prevent the ones I have from corroding? ([s]Oh how I miss the clay cooking pots my Momma used when I was growing up!!!)[/s] 1 Like |

Calphalon are the best in my opinion. Expensive but worth every single penny |

Ikea pots are very durable. I use their pots, fry pans, knives, cutlery and even servittes. |

Irrespective of the pot u are using most important thing is their 1. LEAD/SILVER content 2. Leaching rate of lead and other poisonous elements used in making those pots 3. When U use tomatoes a lot, expect the leaching to be faster, mind u am not saying tomatoes is not good. Infact I love it and I eat raw ONES. It hasten leaching because it is acidic in nature. Now go and read what lead or silver AND OTHER POISONOUS ELEMENTS do to d brain if they gain entrance to it. If U are passionate about knowing it type in google search engine AGELESS AGEING. tHE BOOK WAS STOLEN FROM ME AND I WENT ONLINE TO GET ANOTHER. If it were to be possible for us to go back to the era of clay pots I will be so glad. Mind U, all I have written above is not to scare anybody. Continue to use ya pots if that all u have. 2 Likes |

@kayowalemi, thanks a bunch. Fresh tomatoes make 90%, while tatashe and rodo share the remaining 10% of my pepper for cooking. Now I know why my pots suffer lead/silver leaching going by your analysis. Hmn, goes into deep thought. I will go and search for that book but in the meantime, how does one identify the pot with high LEAD/SILVER content? Minimises nairaland web page and logs on to google to find book |

To know the pot with high or low lead/silver content is also ya duty to know by sourcing for info on them from internet. Ealier on, someone mentioned glass coated pot, glass doesn't react with food materials, if u can get it that will be the best. |

bolorunfem: why was your mum using clay cooking pots though? just curious. iron pots replaced the clay ones almost a century ago i should think. |
