Health scare heating food in non stick
I dont have a microwave at home. Today i tried to heat pulav i prepared yesterday, so i placed a stand inside my non stick khadai and put the tiffin on top of the stand, covered the khadai with lid and let it heat in medium temperature. But when i took the steel tiffin box ourmt and served the pulav , i got a diffirent smell, but i still consumed the food. Now when j was googling in saw that we should not pre heat non stick and when done it releases toxins it smells like plastic and can cause cancer. Since then i am very worried as i consumed the food.

One time use will not cause problem, but be careful in future. Ideally plastic should be avoided, but if necessary, do not use it for warm things.

Using non stick vessels on a daily basis for extended periods of time should be avoided, but an occasional use will not cause significant harm.
In your case , it may have spoiled food which you consumed accidentally. Watch out for symptoms of food poisoning.
