Question
When using a 304 stainless steel pot to cook congee, the bottom of the pot gets stuck with rice, making it difficult to wipe off the outer layer. Although the inner layer can be wiped more effectively, there is still a layer of yellow residue left. Is there a risk of carcinogenic substances being produced when a 304 stainless steel pot gets stuck with rice? Can the pot still be used after getting stuck?
Answer
It is recommended to replace the pot. The occurrence of tumors is somewhat related to smoking and poor dietary habits. Identifying various causes of tumor development is crucial for the treatment and comprehensive prevention of tumors. The causes of tumors are very complex, and it is generally believed that tumors are caused by the interaction between environmental factors and cellular genetic material. Environmental factors include smoking, secondhand smoke, unclean diet, dietary imbalance, environmental pollution, medication, radiation, pathogens, etc. It is suggested to use a clay pot for cooking congee for babies.
