Cooking healthy food doesn’t have to be complicated, but you may need to change habits a bit. If you want to start cooking and eating healthier, here are our best tips for you.
Stewing
When it comes to stewing, there are a few things that can make your life easier:
Feel free to use cheaper cuts of meat because stewing for a long time will make them tender anyway.
Add the vegetables later because they need much less time to cook than meat.
Plan enough time for your meal to be cooked properly—around two hours or more.
Grilling
Grilling is great for lean meat and veggies. Here’s how to make the most out of it:
Make sure your grill is preheated before cooking the food.
Closing the lid will preserve the heat and help you control the temperature.
Clean the grill after every use to prevent sticking.
Steaming
If you want to eat food that went through the minimal cooking, these steaming tips are for you:
Don’t let water touch any part of your food if you want it to be steamed, not boiled.
Over-steaming food will only make it soggy—10-15 minutes should be enough for most foods.
Covering the steaming dish will make the process faster.
