Preparing food in an earthen pot has wonderful health benefits….

During cooking in aluminum and iron utensils, the food gets burnt many times and it gets cooked too much. Which of course is easy to digest but becomes zero in taste and nutrition at the same the time it has many side effects. But the food is cooked properly in an earthen pot on sim flame then most of the nutrition of the food remains in it, which are essential for our health. 

Even cooking in Brass, bronze utensils are also not very much healthy as most of the nutrition of the food ends in it. Except for non-stick vessels, more edible oil is used during cooking in steel, iron, and aluminum utensils so that food and spices do not stick to the bottom, whereas the earthen pots require less oil for cooking and maintaining heat is also easy in earthen pots that are saving the reduction of the nutritional value of the food.

Although it is advisable to eat food only after heating. But repeatedly heating of the food also makes differences in the taste. But if we cook food in an earthen pot, then the food remains hot for a long time. You might have enjoyed kulhad tea (tea served in an earthen cup) or handi biryani (Biryani made in earthen utensil), and you must know the taste of it.  

Even today in villages, food is cooked and eaten in earthen pots in most of the houses in order to maintain its original taste and aroma. Considering the benefits, many towns and cities adopted to prepare food in earthen pots on the occasion of the festival. I personally experienced eating food made in earthen pots and I know the differences. I have observed a lot of differences. 

You also prepare, eat and enjoy the natural taste of it. Many people asked me that an earthen pot can’t be cleaned properly and is for single use only. NO, it is not like that, we may clean the earthen pots and use them further. There is a small precaution only require to cleaning earthen pots. 

What to do? Yes, please do not clean them with detergent soap or any washing powder or washing liquid because while washing itself the earthen pots absorb the smell of the detergent and when you start cooking further, the food will not be tasty and become unhealthy too. Then, what do we do? Yes, please take half-cut pieces of lemon and wash them with your earthen vessels. It preserves aroma too. 

Caution: You have to maintain separate earthen utensils for milk and milky preparation. The earthen pots used for utensils must wash with fired ash powder, not with other detergent powder or liquid. 

Stay healthy, stay safe...
