British Red already has a thread about this.

We know. It's been turned into an article. That's what this thread was to indicate.

Ahh. My apologies.

 

[Toddy]

No, it's a fair comment. Just that as an article it becomes something we remember

Very interesting article. Years ago I got rid of our aluminium pots & pan due to articles I read about the alleged links between aluminium intake and Alzheimers. I replaced them with stainless steel. In recent years we have bought three heavy cast iron pans. Hence my question - the benefits of cooking with the iron fish - I wonder if the same benefits apply if you cook in ironware?

"Dr Charles had a novel idea. Inspired by previous research which showed that cooking in cast iron pots increased the iron content of food, he decided to put a lump of iron into the cooking pot, made from melted-down metal."

That is excellent...and I just knew that Bushcraft was good for me

Thanks for bringing it to the fore again.

Oops! Missed that bit!

Bought one of these for my pasty sister! I'll share any observations she has.
8 weeks delivery, worked out about £18.

Cool, I'm taking Mcmaster classes right now, what a coincidence. And thanks for an interesting thread regardless O.P.

Back to drop off some feedback, the iron fish has been used extensively in cooking and my sis hasn't had the symptoms she has lived with for a long time, she has been able to reduce her iron meds from the doctor since using it. No scientific studies or anything, just our observations. Good stuff.

Good news. For the most part, cooking in cast iron doesn't seem trendy. Cared for, seasoned iron pans are non-stick.
Last night, veggies in one wok and cinnamon pork in another wok. Lots of scraping = lots of iron. Hot water rinse.

However, the Iron Fish seems an excellent source for an essential nutrient.
