Five healthiest ways to
cook your favorite meals...
Even if you use the
healthiest of ingredients in your recipes,
certain cooking techniques can actually
eradicate the goodness from foods.
For healthy cooking,
give the following techniques a try:
 |
Avoid using
charcoal or gas grills, as these can
increase the production of
cancer-causing chemicals. Use an
electric grill, instead.
|
|
|
Steam your
vegetables. Boiling depletes vegetables
of many of their nutrients, while
steaming removes far less of the good
stuff, leaving vegetables with a
wonderful taste and texture.
|
|
|
To reduce the
amount of fat when cooking, use
broiling, baking and roasting pans
(drizzle your items with extra-virgin
olive oil instead of drowning them in
margarine). Chinese steamers is also
good low-fat cooking option.
|
|
|
Never microwave
anything in plastic wrap or plastic
containers. If you must microwave, use
glass containers and covers.
|
|
|
Replace all
saturated fats in your kitchen with
extra-virgin olive oil, canola oil
(organic), grapeseed oil - these
monounsaturated fats are much healthier
than the saturated ones.
