Proper
cleaning procedures must be followed when using traditional cookware. Each type of metal has a particular cleaning
agent recommended by our ancestors. For
example, sugar is used to clean gold. Tamarind is generally used to clean
bronze and copper vessels. There is no danger in using traditional cookware as
long as proper care is taken to remove tarnish from the traditional vessels. If
unsure, use tin vessels and soft stone vessels for cooking food and transfer the
cooked food into silver/copper serving bowls.
When
time permits, change the chrome hardware in your homes to brass hardware.
Changing doorknobs, faucet handles and other commonly touched hardware to brass
will help minimize the spread of germs. A study even found that brass doorknobs
sanitized itself within 15 minutes!
Stay
safe by eating only home-cooked meals. Keep in mind that the spoons and plates
at restaurants have been used by someone else. Most restaurants wash dishes by
hand even when they have access to an electric dishwasher. Due to the high
volume of visitors at restaurants, most restaurants cannot keep up with
sanitizing procedures. Not only during
the pandemic, but at all times one should develop the habit of eating only at
home.
Get into the habit of offering food to Perumal during thiruvaradhanam. Even if there are any defects in the food, when we pray to Perumal, He blesses the food and makes it wholesome. As this is not the case at restaurants, they should be avoided at all times.
Concluded.
