The ancient civilizations used clay pots to cook their food because the food cooked in clay pots was healthier and tastier than that cooked in metal utensils. While cooking in clay pots no micro-nutrients are lost from the food which makes its taste heavenly. There are two major reasons why cooking in clay pot is healthier than metal utensils:
- Clay pots are somewhat porous therefore the heat and moisture circulate through the pot during cooking, unlike with metal or enamel-lined pots.Which helps it to cook evenly and keeps the food from getting overcooked which hinders with the taste.
- Clay is alkaline which makes the clay pots even more special. Because while cooking the clay interacts with the acidity in the food, neutralizing the Ph-balance. Something that is naturally very acidic, like tomato sauce, will take on some natural sweetness when cooked in a clay pot enhancing its taste.
In old times there was no need to add sugar in milk because it had its natural sweetness in it when boiled in a clay pot. Eating a Ph-balanced diet has its own benefits like stronger immunity to diseases and proper functioning of digestive systems.

Today the most common utensils you can see in kitchens are made of aluminium and non-sticks with Teflon coating on it. Now what we don't know about these cookwares is that they have harmful effects on our health. Aluminium is heavy metal and every time you cook something in an Aluminium cookware, a very small amount say about 100 micro-grams gets deposit in your food due to friction between your spatula and utensil. This unwanted Aluminium that you are eating daily gets deposited in your body and never comes out of it which leads to a chronic diseases such as Asthma, Cancer and many more. Same is the story with Teflon- it causes Cancer, Thyroid diseases, Complexities during pregnancy and Birth defects.
Now question arises that if they have such adverse effects on health why are they being sold to us,
well the answer is very simple "because there is demand" and why there is demand " because it is a trend after so many years". When India was ruled by The Britishers then the food which was given to the prisoners was cooked and served in Aluminium cookware so that the inmates may die soon with chronic diseases. And after that they introduced Aluminium cookware in India. Which became a trend with time and now no one is bothered about it. The Britishers are gone but majority of the jails still cook and serve there food in Aluminium utensils, there are many aluminium utensils at our home such as sauce pans, pressure cookers, sauce pot etc. Even the food which is cooked on big celebration feast like marriage is made with aluminium utensils.
Now, what is the solution and what are the best materials for cookware? well according to vedas and books on ayurved such as charak-samhita by charak rishi , ashtaang hrydayam and ashtaang sangham by vagbhat rishi, the appropiate material for making utensils is copper and clay , cooper is best for making food but it is not good for storing food, clay is as good as copper for making food and can also be used for storing food.
The food cooked in clay pots are not only delicious but also nutrients rich. The micro-nutrients which are usually lost during cooking are all present in the food cooked in clay utensils because all the micro-nutrients are present in clay. Well the plants get there nutrients from soil so does the food cooked in an earthen utensil. A scientific study done by Dr.Rajiv dixit of bharat swabhimaan sansthan shows that a daal cooked in an earthen pot has 90% more micro-nutrients than one cooked in pressure cooker.never the less earthen cookware are non-sticks naturally.
