Dosa, chapati, uppittu for breakfast, sambar for idli... Nowadays it has become a trend for many to use non-wood cooking utensils. There is no reason for that. If food particles stick to metal or other utensils, especially when cleaning and washing them frequently, you should be careful. Soak in water for a few days, then rinse well and massage. Therefore, many people have turned to non-stick cookware because of its ease of cleaning. Another reason is that you can support your health by using less oil. But now there are many people who fear that if these utensils are used for a long time, they may get diseases.
Non-stick cookware is coated with Teflon on the inside to prevent food particles from sticking. The chemical PFOA is harmful to it. Experts warn that problems such as breast cancer, thyroid and kidney problems, infertility may occur. So don't stop using it for now but it is used for poor country food.
So it is wise to buy something that is not cooked properly. If the cover on it is bad, it is possible to replace it.
Teflon coating is suitable for use at low temperatures. If used at high temperatures, i.e. above 300 degree centigrade, it decomposes and releases toxic chemicals. Experts warn that smoking it for a long time can cause headaches and other ailments. So, although such utensils can be used repeatedly, stainless steel utensils are good for daily use. It can be used for high temperature cooking and frying. Low-stick food mix in a heavy-bottomed metal pot. The quality of metal utensils is also scratch resistant. A cast iron mixer is also good for making chapati and dosa.
