Yes, it is used to make cooking utensils such as iron.
Because of the gas stove, cooking utensils evolved from wood to heavy cast iron and tin, to lightweight aluminum, tempered glass, and ceramic. By the 1920s gas ranges were made of white porcelain enamel
Because most of the other metals are expensive. To make it sure that it is a good quality and it can't be melt from heat.
steel, cast iron, copper, aluminum, stainless steel. Pre-modern people used stone, bamboo, basketry. This is far from a complete list. Please add your items.Most cooking utensils seem to be made of Aluminum and/or Steel.... but sometimes you'll see Iron, Tin, and Copper used as well.
Iron pots or pans. Patients should not use iron cooking utensils to make decoctions as they may alter the chemistry of the herb.
It's lignt, reasonably cheap and easy to shape, doesn't stain or transfer taste to most foods, and it conducts heat well which is good when cooking.
Few cooking utensils require seasoning before use. Cast iron is probably the lone exception, and that issue is already addressed elsewhere. Use the link to the Related question check out that post.
Iron and aluminum thermal conductivity, fire burn immediately hot, if the handle of the pot is a stronger thermal conductivity something hand contact will be scalded, not strong thermal conductivity of wood and plastic, so use them. The thermal conductivity of aluminum is stronger than iron, but do not recommend cooking with aluminum pots, wok cooking can supplement some lack of iron, and aluminum can not. Aluminum pan and cook over time will iron deficiency.
The Indian population was using the iron utensils for ages. They never had the iron deficiency anaemia in the past. I have seen the age when the aluminium utensils were introduced in the India. I have seen the population getting impressed by the stainless steel utensils. When I tell my patients to use to iron utensils, they think that i am cracking a joke. I could not convince the single patient to use the iron utensils. The pots should not be cleaned before cooking. The rust of the previous day is more precious than the gold. So you do not use the iron utensils and you get the iron deficiency anaemia.
Because its an excellent thermal conductor. Iron and aluminum help gather and store the heat used for cooking
* Iron ore & concentrates * Cooking coal * Crude petroleum * Aluminum * Alumina (Aluminum ore) * Beef & Veal
-Cooking utensils, kettles, saucepans and boilers are usually made of aluminum or stainless steel where direct heating is involved. -Soldering iron rods are made of iron with the tip made of copper because copper is a much better conductor of heat than iron. -Heat exchangers such as those used in a laundry enable precious fuel to be saved
