Iron vessels– In this article we will see about which dishes should not be cooked in iron pan.
In the changing modern world, many cookware have come but now people know the benefits of iron cookware and have started using it.
But there is no awareness about which food items should not be cooked. Mixing certain foods with iron can cause adverse reactions and cause harm to our body.
Foods that should not be supplemented with iron:
Avoid cooking acidic foods such as lemon, tamarind and citric acid. It reacts with the iron and makes the vessel rust easily. Not only that, it can also cause harm to our body.
Also do not cook seafood like fish as iron can retain heat for a long time. The skins of seafood are thin, so the skins stick to the pan and can cause variation in taste and color.
Lettuce and mushroom dishes should not be boiled in an iron pan. If these items are boiled for too long, their nutrients will be wasted. Iron pan has a tendency to retain more heat in itself. So avoid cooking spinach and mushrooms in iron.
In pasta dishes we cook with tomato sauce etc. because of the acidity in the tomato which reacts with the iron.
Also, do not cook any food of rasam and astringent nature in an iron pan.
If we cook and eat in an iron pot, we get many benefits for our body. Iron deficiency in particular does not occur. But we should avoid cooking some of the above mentioned foods.
