1, a suitable cooking method
Choose appropriate cooking methods according to the characteristics and uses of ingredients, such as steaming, boiling, stewing and baking. Generally speaking, steaming, boiling and stewing can better retain the nutrients in food, while roasting and frying may cause the loss or destruction of nutrients.
Step 2 control cooking time
In the cooking process, it is also important to control the cooking time. Excessive cooking will make food overcooked, leading to the destruction and loss of nutrition. Therefore, the cooking time should be reasonably controlled according to the characteristics and uses of ingredients.
Step 3 Use the right kitchen utensils
Choosing the right kitchen utensils is also an important part of scientific cooking. For example, using a non-stick pan can reduce the contact area between food and the bottom of the pan, thus reducing the loss of nutrients.
4. Appropriate use of seasonings
Proper use of seasonings can improve the taste and flavor of food, but excessive use may mask the taste and nutritional value of ingredients themselves.
