For children, an old cooker lead exposure can slow brain development and reduce IQ. (Pexels)<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

In every kitchen, we know certain things do not last forever. Vegetables go bad, milk sours, and spices lose their flavour over time. But what many people don\u2019t realise is that even kitchen tools can expire. One of the most surprising culprits is the humble pressure cooker, a staple in almost every Indian household. While it may look sturdy, an old pressure cooker could secretly be the most toxic thing in your kitchen.<\/p>\n

Highlighting this issue, Dr. Manan Vora, a Consultant Minimal Access Orthopaedic Surgeon and Sports & Exercise Medicine Specialist, recently shared a video explaining why it is important to replace old cookers. His advice has caught the internet\u2019s attention and sparked conversations online.<\/p>\n

Why an old pressure cooker can turn toxic<\/strong><\/p>\n

In his video, Dr. Vora explained that when a pressure cooker gets too old, tiny amounts of lead from the material can start leaking into your food. The real danger is that lead doesn\u2019t just leave the body easily. Instead, it slowly builds up in the blood, bones, and even the brain over time.<\/p>\n

This silent exposure can result in long-term health issues. Lead accumulation can make you feel more fatigued, weaken the nervous system, and even affect memory and mood.<\/p>\n

For children, the effects are even more damaging, slowing down brain growth and lowering IQ levels. That is why an old cooker, often passed down for years in families, can actually be harmful despite looking fine on the outside.<\/p>\n

Signs it is time to replace your cooker<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to Dr. Vora, there are a few clear red flags to look out for:<\/p>\n

\u2013 If your cooker is over 10 years old, it is time to get rid of it.<\/p>\n

\u2013 If you notice scratches, black patches, or discolouration inside, it could be leaching toxins.<\/p>\n

\u2013 If the lid or whistle feels loose, it is no longer safe.<\/p>\n

\u2013 If your food starts tasting metallic, that is a big warning sign.<\/p>\n

He strongly recommends replacing the cooker immediately if you see these signs. After all, your food should nourish you, not harm you.<\/p>\n

Internet reacts to the advice<\/strong><\/p>\n

The video, posted on August 22, has already crossed 1 lakh views, with over 4,000 likes and plenty of comments.<\/p>\n

A user wrote, \u201cUsing stainless steel cooker\u2026 ditched the aluminium one.”<\/p>\n

Another admitted, \u201cMy aluminium cooker is more than 25 years old, but I cook food in steel utensils inside it. Is that safe?”<\/p>\n

Others suggested safer alternatives. \u201cBuy stainless steel pressure cookers. You\u2019ll be fine,” one person advised.<\/p>\n

Another commented, \u201cDitch aluminium, use stainless steel. You can use it for generations.”<\/p>\n

The message is clear, while moms may argue otherwise, sometimes the safest choice for your family\u2019s health is to let go of that beloved old pressure cooker.<\/p>\n
