Which Cooking Methods Are The Most Nutritious?

By Paula Hess


Those who are involved in cooking will tell you that some methods are healthier than others. The most experienced chefs are able to utilize these very methods in order to create tasty - not to mention nutritious - entrees for different audiences. However, many people on the outside looking in may ask the question, "Which methods stand out the most?" Here are a few of the most vital culinary talking points which shouldn't be ignored.

To start off this list of healthy cooking methods, it's important to go over grilling at the onset. For those who do not know, grilling can be done in order to cook a litany of foods, without the added calories of butter and oil in place. Simply put, if you're careful about this, you will not have to worry about nutrients or taste being stripped away. Even though grilling is relatively simple, especially when compared to other methods, it stands out well on its own.

Steaming is another method which is surprisingly healthy on its own. For those who do not know, steaming is done in an enclosed container, keeping all flavors and accents inside of food instead of them being lost. As a result, chefs do not have to add any unhealthy cooking oil they probably would have incorporated otherwise. Why fix what's not broken after all, right? Steaming, to say the least, stands out in terms of health and taste alike.

Nutritionists and food lovers alike will agree that stir-frying matters as well. Stir-frying, for those who aren't in the know, is done in short amounts of time with high levels of heat intact. As a result of the times in question, nutrients do not have the opportunity of being stripped away, which is a common problem amongst new chefs. For those who are looking for something a bit more unique, you don't have to look much further than stir-frying.

If you want to talk about nutrition, as it relates to cooking, there are quite a few points worth uncovering. Each of them vary in certain ways, whether it's a matter of utilities brought into the fold or the times needed for cooking. Hopefully these points will help you better understand just how healthy the culinary arts can be. It's all about choosing the right methods and it's easy to see that the ones discussed above will be more than worthwhile.
