5 Ways To Healthier Cooking
Cook with less fat:
Instead of frying foods in fat, rely on methods that require little or no oil, such as
grilling, broiling, roasting, and oven-frying. Drain off any fat after cooking and skim it
off the top of stews. Cook fish and poultry in parchment paper, which requires just a
touch of oil for flavor. If you prefer to fry food, invest in a nonstick skillet so you
can cook either without fat or with a very small amount. When stir-frying, use the minimum
amount of oil and heat until very hot. The oil spreads farther, so that you'll need less.
Instead of using oil when sauteeing, cook onions or garlic in a little reduced-sodium
stock over low heat. |

Tip of the week
Cooking:
Pour some diluted liquid bleach into tea stained cups. Keep aside for 2-3
hours. Wash with soap. The tea stains will come off easily.
Health:
A typical chocolate bar contains between 2 and 23 mg of caffeine, about as
much as one cup of decaf coffee. If you love chocolate but must avoid caffeine, there is
no need to eliminate; practice moderation instead.
Cookery term
Caramel Syrup:
Melt sugar to a brown color on fire and add a little water. It
is only used for coloring and flavoring. |
