✅ Comparison with Other Metals / Cookware Materials
| Attribute | Copper Lagan (Tin-lined) | Stainless Steel Cookware | Aluminium Cookware | Brass Cookware | Cast Iron Cookware |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Reactivity / Safety | Very safe due to tin lining; non-reactive | Non-reactive but may leach nickel / chromium in low-quality SS | Reactive with acidic foods unless anodized or coated | Raw brass can react (unless lined) | Generally safe but can leach iron (which may be a benefit) |
| Heat Conductivity | Excellent — copper is one of the best conductors | Moderate-to-good, but slower to distribute heat | Very good conductor, but thinner | Good heat retention | Excellent heat retention but slow to heat up |
| Heat Retention | Good — tin + copper helps keep consistent temperature | Moderate | Heats fast but cools faster | Very good retention | Excellent retention (ideal for slow cooking) |
| Durability | High, if re-tinned when needed | Very durable and corrosion-resistant | Lightweight but can dent | Durable, but needs maintenance | Extremely durable and long lasting |
| Maintenance | Needs periodic re-tinning, polishing | Easy to clean, dishwasher safe (depends) | Easy to maintain but may scratch | Requires polishing; may tarnish | Needs seasoning or protection, can rust if not maintained |
| Ideal Use Cases | Traditional Indian dishes, biryanis, desserts, slow-cooked cuisines | Everyday cooking, sauces, boiling, sautéing | Lightweight meals, quick sautéing, camping cookers | Traditional Indian recipes, festive cooking | Stews, slow-cooking, frying, high-heat searing |
| Health Considerations | Very safe (tin-lined); no chemical coating | Safe; high quality SS is inert | Lightweight but risk if poorly anodized | Brass needs lining to be safe | Tough, but iron leaching may alter dietary iron intake |
