According to ICMR guidelines, cooking in non-stick utensils should certainly be easy and convenient. But, this is not good from health point of view. The chemicals used in the production of non-stick coatings release toxic fumes when heated at high temperatures. Therefore, it is better to avoid them as it can cause thyroid, respiratory problems and cancer.

ICMR has said that for cooking, earthen utensils are the safest. Cooking, eating and storing food in earthen utensils, all three are beneficial for health. These increase the nutrition in the food and at the same time, the taste of the food also increases.

To stay healthy, it is important to follow the dietary guidelines of ICMR. If you have any health related problem, let us know in the comment box given above the article. We will try to solve your problem through our articles.
