I need to purchase a new set of pots and pans and want to make a safe decisionWhich is the healthiest choice: Hard anodized aluminum, copper bottomed stainless steel, or cast iron? I already use cast iron for frying, some baking, and sauteing, but is it good for sauces and soups, too? Thanks
rightStainless steel and cast iron are not great conductors of heat, aluminium isGlass is terrible for cooking in, it's too much of an insulator and well down-right horrible, I've never got to grips itThe best pans I use are tri-layer pansThese have a layer of stainless steel on the inside, a layer of stainless steel or copper on the outside and the gap between is filled with aluminium, you need at least 3mm to hold and spread the heatThese pans are very expensive, but you only buy them onceFor wok cooking you can't get better than plate steelGet them on a wok burner and you know they are not going to melt or anything - cheap as chips tooLike all steel/iron pans they need proper conditioning before usePut some good rendered lard into the pan and bring the oil up to the smoke point keeping it swirling round to fully coat the panTip the fat out and repeat 3 timesThen you never wash it in detergentWater and a stiff brush is all and wipe dry on kitchen towel.
All image voltaic water heaters require a separate backup gadgetThe image voltaic enter is kept in a nicely insulated tankFrom there it runs through a gas or electric powered heater tankIf the temperature of the image voltaic fill is at or above ninety to 110 ranges the backup remains off line if the image voltaic fill drops below ninety ranges the backup heater takes over so as that both tanks, the image voltaic and the backup continuously have a minimum of 40 gallons of warm water.
I know they have these solar powered water heaters for houses in the area where i liveBasically they are pipes filled with water under some darkened glassAnd everything is black or a dark colorThe water heated from the sun rises up and then is used by the house(They have to be drained for winter though) But if you are talking about maybe boiling water, look into solar ovensI've seen videos of pretty much nothing more than a cardboard box inside painted black and some clear material actually fry and egg or something similarBasically, the sun in powerful enough to heat up food items without having to convert it to electricity then to heat.
