Everyday I would wake up with severely sore arms, like they were clenched somehow.
Blood test said Vitamin D deficiency, but the supplements didn't do anything noticeable. But I was on the border of anemia so they told me to try iron supplements too.
Gone overnight. I'm so used to problems being an exhausting road to recovery that this one took me by surprise.
Huh. My recurring biceps pains are the bane of my existence. And I was also refused for a blood donation due to insufficient hemoglobin. I need to try iron supplements.
Hate to be that guy but y'all need iron pans. Proper sears at temperatures that would disintegrate Teflon, better and self-healing anti-stick coating than anything else (if used properly), you can use a metal spatula, no more anaemia, what's not to like?
I prefer use of steel pans for eggs, meat, pancake, potato,... I recommend use of thin one (weight less) with flat bottom (easy to maintain coating). Evertime you finish your cooking pass it under a stream of cold water and later you could use a steel wool to remove residue and then your traditional sponge and soap. Let it dry without using kitchen towels. Don't worry about rust you could remove it with a paper before use.
For vegetable use a cast-iron pans, choose one with enamel so you don't need a special care.
For boiling water the best is steel with enamel but hard to find in good quality, I use stainless steel with tri-layer and a layer of steel in between.
