Nonstick Pots and Pans

If there is one cooking utensil that should not be there in your kitchen, it’s Teflon, a plastic coating that makes pots and pans nonstick. Nonstick products are very tempting and most homes have them—they’re inexpensive and easy to clean. But the health threats they pose outweigh any time or effort they may save you in the kitchen.

Aluminum Cookware

Another very commonly used utensil is Aluminum, which is cheap and looks very appealing when you cook or serve. However Aluminium heats very quickly and easily reacts with acidic vegetables and foods, so it is advisable to avoid cooking in such utensils, as healthy cooking wares are a must-have.
