FOOD UTENSILS AND NUTRITIONAL IMPLICATIONS
Keywords:
cooking and eating utensils, iron, aluminum, stainless steel, nickel, chromiumAbstract
Many materials are used to make food utensils: clay, iron, glass, pottery stainless steel, stone, aluminum, etc. Stainless steel utensils account for 43% of cookware sold in the USA. Another part of the population uses aluminum utensils. This article aims at speculating on the nutritional contribution of utensils used for food preparation and made from three different materials (aluminum, iron and
stainless steel), through a review of scientific literature.
