-Opal and Glass dishes are highly desirable due to their stunning appearance and their ability to maintain food hygiene. The tempering process gives them high mechanical and thermal resistance, making them perfect for use in microwaves and dishwasher. Unlike other materials, they do not alter the scent or taste of food, making them ideal for storing acidic and alkaline foods.

-Melamine dishes, are not recommended for hot food storage or cooking. Scratches on the surface can harbor bacteria, while chemical compositions can lead to contamination. Additionally, dishwashers or hard objects should not be used to clean them. Old melamine should be avoided altogether, and they should only be used for cold food or picnics.

When using copper dishes, it is essential to avoid cooking or storing acidic foods for extended periods, especially if their coating is lost.

-Aluminum dishes are known for their heat resistance, but they are not without risk. They have been linked to conditions like Alzheimer's, Rash, Anemia, Coma, and Disruption of walking, and their color can change when used with acidic or alkaline foods.

-Pyrex dishes are similar to regular dishes but have added strength due to a specific production stage. They are suitable for hot food storage and cooking, even on a direct flame or in a microwave. However, when these dishes are hot, water or food should not be poured into them, and they should not be transferred to the freezer.

-Teflon-coated dishes are not generally recommended because the coating can add chemicals like poly tetra fluoro ethylene to hot food. Cadmium in Teflon dishes can cause cancer and skin lesions due to heavy metals and lead to anemia.

-Porcelain dishes are one of the most suitable dishes, with good thermal resistance and anti-corrosion properties. The porcelain coating has no effect on food, and they are easy to clean.

-Disposable dishes should never be used for hot drinks or greasy foods in the freezer. PET bottles should be disposed of after use, and acidic foods should not be placed in them.

-Stone dishes are perfect for cooking meat and soup. However, they are not durable and are rarely available.

-Stainless steel dishes may contain materials that can be harmful to human health, such as iron, nickel, and chromium. While iron is necessary for producing red blood cells, too much of it can be detrimental to the body. Nickel does not cause poisoning at the lower levels but it may cause complications in some people. Although the use of stainless steel dishes coated with nickel chromium for cooking is generally safe and has low nickel migration.
