Actually you would be surprised! Salt is a basic mineral (sodium or Na). Also you use Iodine, usually in the salt or in seafood. You cook with Copper. Most pots and pans have quite a bit of copper AND nickel in them.

Salt is the biggest one that actually goes into the food. You could say that I cook with Aluminum and Iron as well. They are the major components of my pots and pans.
