I know quality water is good to ingest directly, but what about cooking?
I recently bought a "total dissolved solids" (TDS) meter to get an idea how much crap is in my water. It goes red with tap water (not too surprised) at 200 ppm of junk, whereas distilled water is 0 ppm (nothing effectively, so presumably safer). So, I can see about drinking distilled - but should I stress too much about cooking with distilled also? I primarily use water to cook my potatoes.
