Best Methods to Healthy Cooking

103 23
Cooking with less oil and less fat is not that difficult.
Lately I have been trying out a few methods and it work very well.
The taste might differ a little but overall I would say it still taste good.
I am going to share a few tips and tricks which is listed in detail below.
  One of the most important requirements on healthy cooking is to have good quality cookware.
Good quality cookware helps to reduce the need to use additional oil, for instance non stick wok or pan does not require a lot of oil for cooking.
Some dishes can even be cooked without any oil.
Furthermore the quality of the cookware allows heat to be distributed more quickly throughout the pan which then allows food to cook easily.
This helped to ensure nutrition's and vitamins are maintained during cooking.
  For meat lovers, try avoiding meat that contains plenty of fat.
Always remember to remove off the skin when cooking any dishes, particularly when frying.
I agree that frying meat with skin is really delicious and crispy but it is really bad for health.
Another type of meat you want to avoid eating too much is sausages.
Sausages do not only contain fat but the ingredients are from various form of meat.
In addition to that, it contains preservative that could cause cancer in the long run.
It would be best to either replace it with chicken or turkey meat, or making home cooked sausages will be good for health as well.
  The most basic cooking ingredients when frying or grilling is to use olive oil.
Olive oil is rich with monounsaturated fat and high content of antioxidants, which is good for heart disease and high cholesterol patients.
Olive oil can be even use for salad and certain sauces.
It is also a good replacement for baking, and for additional taste add in herbs and spices.
In addition to that, it is advisable to purchase a bottle that has spray features so that you can control the amount of oil during frying.
Pouring of oil directly from the bottle might be quite difficult to control.
  Another method for fat free cooking is to boil and stem the food.
However, most people perceive that such method of cooking does not taste good.
  This is not true as it depends on the type of ingredient and recipe used.
My all time favourite is the Steamed trout with ginger and coriander recipe.
Try using low fat chicken or vegetable stocks for the soup, herbs such as parsley, a lot of ginger and spices for great taste.
For salad lovers, try avoiding sauces such as thousand island and mayonnaise that consists a lot of fat content.
For replacement, try using the egg free mayonnaise recipe or lemon.
You will be surprise with the taste.
