Grilling To Searing, 7 Ways To Reduce Cooking Oil Use
By Shreya Goswami
Reducing the use of cooking oil can not only improve heart health but also lessen your calorie intake. Here are some methods you can use to reduce oil use during cooking.
Sweat The Veggies
Most vegetables contain plenty of water which is released while cooking. This sweating method reduces oil use and is flavourful too.
Use Non-Stick Cookware
Non-stick cookware and cast-iron pans can reduce the usage of oil to fry, saute or even stir fry ingredients.
Try Parcel Cooking
Try placing all your ingredients with flavourings and no oil in a parcel or leaf wrapping to add flavour.
Use Steam Saute
Instead of using oil for sautéing vegetables or protein, use vegetable broth or stock as a flavorful alternative.
Bake And Roast
Instead of deep-frying or pan-frying, opt for baking or roasting methods which crisp up food just as well.
Try Searing
By searing the food, you can achieve a delicious caramelized exterior without relying on excessive oil.
Grilling Works
When you grill food, it is cooked directly over an open flame or heat source, which reduces oil use naturally.
