Does macrobiotics involve specific cooking and food preparation methods?
Macrobiotic diets recommend cooking with pots, pans, and utensils made only from certain materials. Glass, wood, stainless steel, ceramic, and enamel cookware all are considered acceptable materials for cookware. People who practice the diet do not usually use microwaves or electricity for food preparation.
