Cooking may be of different types and forms, and while you may have your own preferences, there are some methods of cooking that may be more dangerous than you've considered before. If you want to know whether your cooking method is healthy or not, you may have to consider some very specific details such as the exposure of your food to certain toxic materials and the health implication of the utensils, equipment and ingredients used.

Today, we'll be discussing 3 specific cooking methods and the harmful effects they can have on you. If you want to cook safer, you may have to desist or modify such cooking practices. Check them below.

1. Deep frying.

Deep frying is typically associated with using and reusing of cooking fats and oils. The danger here may not be immediately related with the oils but in the using, storing and reheating practice. In deep frying, you use a lot of oil, which is not usually disposed off, but stores to be reused. This reheating of the oil can form the toxin HNE which studies have found to increase the risks of cardiovascular diseases, stroke, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease, various liver disorders, and cancer.

If you want to avoid all these, then you either stop deep frying, bake your food, or use disposable oils for your deep frying.

2. Microwaving in plastic.

This is a very dangerous kitchen practice. Heating or cooking foods contained or wrapped in plastic or nylons in the microwave can dissolve some plastic molecules into your food. If you want to avoid this unhealthy practice, try using only glass or ceramic and cover your food with waxed paper. This will ensure that your food are always cooked clean each time.

3. Grilling with charcoal.

This is another unhealthy kitchen practice that many of us neglect all the time. By grilling your chicken or meat with charcoal, you expose your food to hazardous carcinogenic smoke. You may not want to mind this, but the health risks involved are potentially distructive. If you want to avoid the dangers that comes with grilling over charcoal, try to use gas or electricity as your source of heat. There are many gas and electrical grills out there. You just have to pick one instead of a charcoal grill.

Staying healthy starts with your foods and the methods used to cook them. If you can inculcate a safe cooking habit, and try to cook as healthily as possible each time, you'll be able to stay healthy without making any other effort.

That means, bye bye to Suya and smoked fish.

So how do we now preserve food??

everything seems to be dangerous nowadays..don't eat this way,don't play that way,dont sleep this way,now its a way not to prepare food..if cooking by charcoal is gonna kill us,den I think most of us,especially those who kind of enjoy roasted food,meat(suya) or roasted corn and plantain should have had a chronic illness,but thank God we don't...

If we all go by the Charcoal grilling, we would all be dead.
