Low Fat Cooking Methods

After my Gadgets post I thought I would expand on Low Fat Cooking Methods and how it can make a big difference to your foods fat content.

Use Heavy-based or good quality cookware you will find that the amount of fat needed for cooking foods can be kept lower than normal.

Use Good Quality Bakeware which doesn't need greasing before use to make low fat cakes.

Don't Add Fat When Grilling If you absolutely must spray use a product like frylight, they do olive and vegatable oil and now a butter substitute.

Use Your Microwave Microwaved foods rarely need the addition of fat, so add herbs or spices for extra flavour and colour.

Steam Food Steaming is a great way to cook vegetables without fat and keeps more of the essential vitamins and minerals that are lost in boiling.

Braise or Saute Vegetables in the oven in wine or just water with added herbs.

Don't Add Butter to Cooked Vegetables Instead sprinkle with chopped fresh herbs or a low fat spread, experiment and see what you like.
