      Cooking without washing the pot

      Many people don't like to wash the pot when cooking. They think that the oil for frying the last dish is still in the pot. They have to cook anyway, so they don't wash the pot. In fact, this approach is wrong.

      The temperature of the bottom of the pot for cooking on the fire can reach over 400°C, and the content of strong carcinogens that make the bottom of the pot sticky is higher than any food smoked by fireworks. Especially when cooking dishes rich in protein and fat such as fish and meat, if they are burnt, a chemical called Y amino acid methyl derivative will be produced, which is a carcinogen stronger than aflatoxin.
