Clay Pot Cooking – A Fat Free Experience

It might be the summer sneaking up on me and those dreamy images of perfectly toned bodies bathing in the sun, but eating a whole steak soaked in gravy doesn’t seem so appealing any more. In fact, it’s not the steak that doesn’t look appealing, but the extra pounds that are bound to appear on my scale. Summer or not, I’m sure many of you are concerned with the levels of fat in your food, be it for aesthetic or health reasons. The truth is, even if you’re skinny and fit, keeping fat levels at a low is the healthy way to go, because fat in your body affects not only your looks but also your organs and their functionality, your blood flow and so on. You might think that cooking without any oil or fats means only eating salads or meals that don’t need any frying or baking, but that’s not true! You just need the right cookware.

Cooking without oil & fat

Ever since the world has become overly aware of the importance of healthy food and healthy lifestyle, there has been a lot of buzz around pure clay cookware, so I’m sure you’ve heard of it already. It’s the best kitchen ware to get, as it’s 100% natural and non-reactive with the food, so it’s completely safe for you and your family. But what you might not have heard about it is that pure clay cooking can also be done without adding any oil or fat. Pure clay pots and pans are so designed as to heat up gradually, from the bottom up, keeping all steam inside the pot. This means that the natural juice of the food you are cooking is kept inside and acts as the “oil” or “fat” you’d normally add. As a result, the food won’t stick and it will cook in its own juice, which is a much healthier alternative.

The added benefits:

The fact that clay pot cooking is a fat free experience is not the only benefit of cooking in these pots and pans. Due to the fact that steam is kept inside the pot and the food cooks in its natural juice, all the nutrients and vitamins within the food is also kept inside. None of it is wasted with the release of the steam, as it happens with regular cookware. So the health benefit comes not only from the lack of fat, but also from the multitude of nutrients. Plus, the taste will be amazing. All those nutrients, together with the food’s natural juice and the seasoning you add at the beginning will make your meals the most delicious ones you’ll ever taste.
