Cooking utensils or method that we can use to cook without/less oil?

Question

I've watched a tv programme(Spore) some years ago....The couple shows how to cook food by using only the fat from the meat. Is it b'cos of the cooking utensils or the method that allows cooking without adding oil? Any idea who is the cook also?

You only need to use oil if you are frying or sauteing meat (chicken, pork or red meat).

If you use a grill pan, you do not add oil. You would just season or marinate the meat- red meat, pork or chicken before cooking. Even seasoning with just salt and pepper is good. The key is to not over cook the meat, then it is nice and juicy.

You also do not use oil if you roast or broil meats in the oven.

Cooking spray is another way to cut down on the use of oil.

Before cooking any meat on the stove top, you always must make sure your pan is hot enough. Pans should be preheated on medium-high to high heat. Once you can sprinkle it with water and the droplets dance and sizzle, then it is ready.

a good, heavy nonstick pan goes a LONG way ih letting you use less or no oil when cooking.

Answer 3

I don't know who the cook is, but I'm sure that if you look around you can find the right utensils. There are many stores that sell things like that. Also, when you grease the pan it's better to use butter. It might take longer than using Pam, but it really works!

Answer 4

If you can find a good non-stick pan that works. You can also use water depending on what you are cooking, as well as chicken, beef or vegetable broth. Also wine, it will cook down while whatever you are cooking cooks.

Answer 5

I drain the natural fats after they cook out of the meat because they contain portions which are supposed to be harmful to us. Apparently, if the fat is solid at room temp then it solidifies in our body and eventually becomes arteriosclerosis. I use non-stick cookware so I don't need to add oils usually. If i do need them in salad dressings I use various olive oils and for baking breads I prefer canola oil which is supposed to be a healthier choice. From a CALORIE perspective, FAT is FAT whether it is solid (butter, lard, shortening) or liquid (canola, olive, corn). They all have the same calories per gram.

Answer 6

No added fats or oils are needed when roasting or baking....

Answer 7

I know that when you bake cakes, you can replace some or all of the oil with applesauce (replace one cup of oil with one cup applesauce). This cuts out must or all of the fat.

What I like to do, if it calls for, say one cup of oil is to use a half cup of applesauce and a half cup of melted butter. Cakes turn out very moist and buttery that way with half the fat.
