The Battle of Cookware: Cast Iron VS Non-Stick

Eating good food is important… But the cookware in which it’s cooked is much more important.  Because the quality of the food depends on the cookware that we choose, it’s necessary to find the right cookware for your kitchen.

Non-stick pans and Tawas are preferred by many as it is non-sticky and light. Sure it is…!

But..! What about the health factor? That’s an important thing to check on. Good food leads to good health and good health can lead to a very good life. So there should not be any compromise on good health.

Choosing the right cookware??? This is where the battle begins….!

Difference Between Cast Iron and Non Stick Cookware

Food that is cooked in cast iron does not destroy the taste, rather it enhances the flavour.  Since they heat up slowly, the food does not burn and you can enjoy a perfectly cooked meal. Bon appetite…!

On the other hand, non-stick cookware can cook food but does not add a genuine flavour to your food and does not project the existing taste as it is. It also burns food sometimes, and that is not so appealing.

Wow! Now we know what helps with taste…..!

So let’s see who the tough guy is……!Non-stick cookware is lightweight and easy to handle. But they are not so good at bearing high heat…. agreed? Yes! Also, the Teflon coating on its surface wears off easily by harsh usage.

What happens then? It mixes with the food. Well, that does not feel good to us.

We know that wood is the safest partner of non-stick. Well, not every one of us has the patience to use the proper utensils for cooking. So we don’t always remember the “non-stick cookware – wooden spatula pair”.
