Cancer risk due to improper cooking!

“Disease enters through the mouth” and improper cooking methods will reduce the nutritional value of food and even cause cancer.

Don't wash the pan after cooking.

Many “thrifty” people have the habit of stir-frying one dish and then directly stir-frying another. However, the surface of the pot seems very clean but is still covered with grease and food residue. When reheated at high temperatures, it can produce benzopyrene, a carcinogen.

Experts recommend that housewives wash the pot thoroughly after each stir-fry before cooking the next dish. This will reduce harmful substances produced and help the dish retain its original flavor instead of being mixed with the remaining substances and spices of the previously cooked dish.

Turn off the hood immediately after cooking.

During the cooking process, many harmful substances are produced, the range hood plays a very important role in eliminating food odors in the house. Most of us immediately turn off the range hood after finishing cooking. In fact, it takes time for the range hood to absorb all the odors emitted by cooking.

Therefore, after cooking, you should wait 4-5 minutes before turning off the hood. In addition, when cooking, try to close the kitchen door and open the windows for ventilation.

Add to food when oil is smoking

When the oil smokes, it means the temperature of the oil is over 200℃. At this time, frying food will increase the risk of cancer. At this temperature, many nutrients in vegetables are also destroyed, such as vitamins and fatty acids.

The simplest way to control the temperature of oil and grease is to put chopsticks in the pan. When you see small bubbles around the chopsticks, put food in to fry or stir-fry.

Use leftover frying oil to cook other dishes.

Seeing that the oil used to fry food has not yet turned black, many people continue to use this oil to cook other dishes. However, this method is very unscientific, because the oil used to fry will produce fatty acids and toxic oxidizing substances, thereby rapidly increasing the amount of carcinogens.

Experts recommend that leftover cooking oil should not be heated at high temperatures. If you want to continue using it, you can use it to stew or mix cold dishes such as salads, mixed noodles, etc.
