According to ICMR, cooking with an open lid might cause food to lose nutrients. Here's what you should know.
As a consulting dietician and certified diabetes educator, Kanikka Malhotra concurs that cooking meals with an open lid may result in the loss of important nutrients.
The Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) has issued dietary guidelines for Indians (DGIs) that are intended to encourage improved food safety procedures. Among other things, the DGIs warn against the common practice of "open lid cooking," which is used by many homes and restaurants.
This old-fashioned method of cooking, which entails leaving pots and pans uncovered while cooking, might appear like a harmless practice, but the ICMR claims that it can result in a significant loss of vital nutrients.
