  HEALTHY COOKING METHODS

It will make it easier for you to plan what to serve and cook it in a healthy manner. You will enjoy being creative and your family will love you for caring.

~Cook with as little fats and oil as possible. Use vegetable oil or margarine instead of animal fats.

~Avoid deep frying. Steam, bake, boil and grill instead of frying. Try oil free methods eg using a non-stick pan or microwave oven.

~Stewing, boiling or pressure cooking are great for cooking tough meats, poultry, pulses or nuts.

~Chill soups and stews first so that the fat solidifies. Then remove the fat, reheat and serve.

~Minimise the use of coconut milk. When possible, use low-fat milk or low-fat yoghurt as substitutes.

~Reduce fat content in cakes and desserts by using skimmed or low-fat milk.

~Reduce usage of salt, sugar, artificial preservatives and seasonings. Minimise the usage of salted foods (eg salted vegetables and salted fish). Flavour foods with lemon juice, herbs and spices.

~Ensure meat and fish are properly cooked to kill germs.

~Overcooking foods leads to nutrient loss. Use only the minimum amount of water required. Cover pots when cooking to reduce evaporation and avoid overcooking vegetables. Never reheat foods repeatedly.
