The advent of the non-stick cookware

Indian cooking of all types generally has one common tendency: The ingredients stick to the cooking surface, unless the cooks add sufficient oil, ghee or water to the ingredients or keep stirring the mix all the time. For ages, most of the cooking skill involved prevention of the ingredients from sticking to the cooking surface. All types of paranthas, rotis, vegetables, and most of the sweets have a strong tendency to stick to the cooking surface. Scrapping of the pot used for cooking used to be one of the major cleaning jobs a generation or two back.

This could be partly because of the high cost of the non-stick cookware, the general resistance of the earlier generations to a change and the slightly modified results in taste and crispness after using the non-stick cookware. But it is only a question of time when non-stick cookware will come in universal use.
