Healthy cooking method

A healthy cooking method is to capture the flavour and retain the nutritional value without adding excessive fats. It is divide into two group which is dry-heat method and moist-heat method. Dry-heat method means the heat is transferred from a heat source to the food item without the aid of a liquid medium. The temperature will be more than 300℉. The heat will be transferred to food via air and called as a radiation process. Moist-heat method means the foods cooked with liquid or steam. The maximum temperature will be 212℉. Moist-heat method includes steaming and poaching. Dry-heat method includes roasting, broiling and sautéing. Steaming is a process that carry and circulate the hot steam to the foods. It works by boiling the water continuously to a high temperature enough to generate steam. The food is placed in a food steamer and kept separate from the boiling water. Steamed fish is cook in

It is relatively low temperature around 160℉ to 180℉. The surface of the liquid should not rolling boil and just with the possibility of a bubbles. Examples, fish, poultry and so on. Roasting is a process that use an oven’s dry heat to circulate and evenly cook the foods. It need higher temperature to get an attractive appearance. It is crispy, tasty and brown surface. It does not use much of oil and the fat will drip away during cooking. It will reduces the fats and calories content of the foods. Examples, a roast chicken will retain the juiciness of the meat when it reach a safe internal temperatures. Broiling is a process that placed the food on a broiler rack below a heat element. A chicken breast will be exposed direct to the heat sources and reduce the calories in the foods. The natural saturated fat will melt during broiling and allow fatty grease to drip into the broiler pan. Without the need to use oil, it still can enjoy a tender and nutrient-rich
