Choosing the right cookware is crucial for a successful cooking experience. A video by Dr. Poonam Desai has gone viral, warning about the health risks of using certain pans. She advises against using nonstick and ceramic pans that are scratched or peeled, as they release microplastic particles into the food. These particles can disrupt hormones, affect fertility, and increase the risk of cancer. Instead, Dr. Desai recommends using cast iron or stainless steel pans, which retain the nutrition of the food.
