She Explained That Non-Stick Teflon Cookware Allows Cooking With Little Oil, But It Is Very Sensitive To High Heat And Its Coating Can Be Damaged, Which May Pose Health Risks.
Regarding Ceramic And Granite Cookware, She Said They Are Safe And Suitable For Low-Oil Cooking, But They Are Heavy, Slow To Heat, And Expensive.
