i use stainless steel with cover only.
that way its purified; the juices and steam hold in the flavor and preserve nutrients without releasing any toxins or impurities until refined and cooled.
the standard teflon or teflon 2.0 non stick pans are essentially altars releasing all the fumes in the air.
so what youre doing is breathing in pan non stick and food particles as they burn off.
the hotter you go the more chemicals they release. the lower temperatures dont properly cook the food.
high temperature cooking is a must, thats why i use avocado and coconut oils infused into butter.
iron or even well tempered aluminum are still good options. stainless steel is the best.
if youre cooking all vegan or organic the open pan option is fine since youre releasing mostly plant based fumes.
