For anyone with a terrace, the barbecue is excellent… but with a side grill. Otherwise, steaming, which is medically perfect, can be considered the best way to cook.
- Medically perfect steam can be considered the best way to cook.
- The barbecue is excellent, but with a side grill. The ideal would be a vertical barbecue.
- There are fewer dangerous substances in 50 kg of over-grilled meat than in… a single cigarette.
The man, since the war of fire, understood that the recourse to the cooking was not only a simple question of taste to consume foods hard or difficult to assimilate, but a real chemical manipulation essential for our development.
So let’s start again from the war on fire, since, with the barbecue, our annual regression phase follows the return of the sun. Happily for our taste buds but also for our health.
The ideal would certainly be a vertical barbecue that allows grease to escape other than on the embers.
But to close the debate on supposedly carcinogenic over-grilled meats, you should know that there are fewer dangerous substances in 50 kilograms of over-grilled meat than in… a single cigarette…
The man very quickly realized that he could also boil. For the sake of economy and for certain efficiency. Unfortunately, if the soup was for a long time a constant in our diet – it remains so in many countries -, it is a mediocre way to preserve the nutritional quality of food.
For example vegetables cooked in water lose almost all their vitamins, hence the importance of drinking the cooking broth.
Also very quickly, the most advanced civilizations were able to equip themselves with ovens that have not stopped evolving since the dawn of time. From burial underground to microwaves, via the papillote – which is a very suitable micro oven –, we have a very good cooking model that favors the quality of food and its nutritional value, provided you don’t add any dangerous substances, which our ancestors didn’t quite understand when they were cooking with butter. Because frying or reheating leftovers with a good piece of fat, this is certainly the main mistake of our gastronomy in terms of cooking.
One could even imagine that the microwave oven was invented for just that: heating without cooking in the fat!
Finally, the last mode, perhaps the most used in the world – because it is the majority in the Far East: steam.
If there is a process on which it would be interesting to bet, it is that of steam.
He is medically perfect…
