Hello,I would like to know what kind of Pots for cooking herbs, fruit and vegetables without any lost?

Why stainless steal pots without Teflon inside for making a tea from herbs were not recommended to me by Chinese doctor? Isn't Teflon bad? Was he wrong? What could I use instead?

Also, i would like to know if IKEA WOK is good for stir=frying vegetables and general cooking e.g. soups etc.

And how to eat TURMERIC to get the most benefits? As spice added, as tea drunken with or without the powder or cooked in water and drunk it all? Together with ginger or not? How to use TURMERIC on skin?

many thanks

I don't know why you were not told this, but yes, teflon is not so healthy and you should always use stainless steel pots instead of aluminum pots.



To get the benefits of turmeric you can cook with it as a spice or make tea with it, though it tastes better as a spice in my opinion. If you want to use it on your skin you should mix it with either olive oil or almond oil. Hello,I would like to know what kind of Pots for cooking herbs, fruit and vegetables without any lost?
Chinese doctors don't know anything and just want to sell you approved appliances
the best for cooking herbs is the ceramic covered steal pots or glass.

it is the metal in the pots that changes the good in the herbs.



if you are making tea use either of the pots above and to store the tea use a glass jar.



to keep the good in veggies when you cook them steam them it best it does not matter what kind of pots you use you can either buy a pot made for steaming or you can buy an insert.

you can get them at most home stores

or go to a Chinese food store and buy a bamboo container that fits over pots.



do not use anything with teflon in it

it is now band in my Country as it is not good for you
tumeric is used in curry. make a curry sauce with extra turmeric. Turmeric is not so great all by itself but is good sprinkled on rice or baked potatoe. Can mix the turmeric with other spice such as cumin, corriander, garlic, parsley....sprinkle over vegetables with a little olive oil.
Teflon is harmful if eaten. It may cause cancer. I dont even use teflon pans in regular cooking.



Stainless steel is good to use for herbal remedies. You can also use glass. Never use aluminum, it is highly reactive and will affect the herb. Also, try not to boil the herb. Simmer or steep it in hot water. This will ensure it retains its healing elements.



Im not sure about the wok - I assume its ok to cook with.



You can eat the dried, powdered rhizome in a capsul or tea.



I suggest you talk to your Chinese doctor about the specifics of his treatment. If for some reason he does not tell you how to use the tumeric, you might want to find a better doctor.
