Cooking is an activity that takes place everywhere, irrespective of the country, economic condition, or culture. It has been done from the start of time. While earlier, it was easy as mostly half-cooked or raw vegetables were eaten. But nowadays several dishes and soups and various things have been introduced.

To cook them certain new pieces of equipment have been introduced with some advanced technology. That makes it easy to complete the process, causing problems such as burning or even overcooking. These types of equipment include Copper cookware and Non-Stick. While both of them serve the same purpose of cooking but are very different from each other.

Copper Cookware vs Non Stick

The main difference between Copper Cookware and Non-Stick is that the Cooper Cookware, due to the presence of copper, is good in heating up fast and also spreading the heat evenly, while in comparison, non-stick cookware does not heat quickly (unless they also have a coating of copper). They also differ in terms of affordability, reactivity, etc.
