Stir-frying is one of the best dry heat cooking methods that cooks up food fast and maximise its nutrients.

Baking

While baking, the food is cooked via the hot air which gives it a natural taste without any addition of sauce.

Grilling

Exposing food to direct heat under the grill is a fast way to cook. To keep it healthy, cook your meat on a wire rack so any fat can drip underneath.
