Some things never get old. Indian households embody this statement perfectly. Even today, the Indian kitchens have all the traditional tools like mortar and pestle, rolling pin and board, iron wok, and so many more. The reason is the benefit they all have on people’s health. People have been using them for centuries now. Traditional kitchenware take a modern turn at ellementry.

As more and more homemakers discover the benefits of the natural, organic way of life, everything from décor to food has taken a sustainable form. It is all about health, both of people and nature. History repeats itself. After using modern and electrical cookware, people are switching back to traditional cooking equipment. From brass pots and terracotta tableware, from cast iron Tawa to wooden masaladaanis, people are bringing the tradition back to their homes. 

The choices of people evolve with time. But, they tend to come back to their first choice. That’s what can be seen happening in Indian households. 

For the most of 20th century, people switched to modern stainless material that was easy to handle and maintain. Even the elderly were smitten by this shift because of utensils' modern look, feel and ease of handling. Then came the non-stick cookware, which took over the market in a short period. It did not last long as people realized how toxic their surfaces can be. Now, we are living in a time where traditional cookware has triumphed over the consumers' choice one more time. 

Why are traditional cookware best for daily use?

Many households in Indian cities are making the switch from modern to traditional cookware. There is only one explanation for this. The durability, stability, and sustainability of conventional cookwares have triumphed over the aesthetics and economic viability of modern cookware. Food cooked in them are believed to taste much better than ever. Like, if you use cast iron to make dosas at home, they will be crispier. All daals and greens are invariably cooked in clay pots. Spices crushed in a stone mortar and pestle give a better taste than spices crushed by an electronic mixer. Most importantly, the material the traditional cookware is made from have their benefit as well. They improve a person’s immunity and keep him fit from within.
