These things should be kept in mind while using old utensils
Do not use damaged utensils
If any utensil in your kitchen is damaged, do not use it. Because when food is cooked in these utensils, the particles of chemicals present in the utensils enter the body through air. Due to which you are at risk of many diseases.
The kitchen should be well ventilated.
Make sure to arrange for ventilation in the kitchen. Because the smoke coming out of the pots can harm you a lot. Whenever you cook, keep the windows and doors of your kitchen open.
Use more natural metal utensils
Nonstick utensils are chemically coated. Using them for a long time can harm health. Instead, use cookware made of materials like ceramic, clay, iron or stainless steel. The smoke emitted from these metals does not harm health. So use nonstick utensils less for cooking.
Do not cook on full gas
If you are using non-stick utensils, do not cook on high flame. Because Teflon used in non-stick utensils can harm your health. Therefore, use it on low flame only.
