6 bad habits to change quickly
1. Don’t put the oil in the pot until the oil is smoking
When you first learned to cook, the older generation often emphasized that you should wait for the oil in the pot to smoke before putting the dishes in. However, when the salad oil and blending oil we use start to smoke a lot, the temperature can be as high as 250 degrees Celsius. If the oil temperature is too high, it may produce some carcinogens, and on the other hand, it is easy to cause the loss of nutrients in the food itself.
Correct method: It is best to put the pot before the oil smokes, if you can’t judge the oil temperature yourself. You can stretch a chopstick into the oil, and if there are ripples on the surface of the oil, the bubbles around the chopsticks are dense and there is no sound. At this time, it is suitable for cooking.
2. Blanch the vegetables after cutting them.
Chopped vegetables will easily lose the original flavor of the vegetables. Mass loss. And like boiled green vegetables, they are big green vegetables blanched in water, add some seasonings, and directly put them on the plate. In fact, this way retains the nutrition of the vegetables to a large extent, the operation is convenient, and the dishes are delicious~
Correct method: Blanch green vegetables first and then cut them. When blanching green vegetables, you can add some salt and oil to prevent oxidase from destroying chlorophyll and maintain the bright color of vegetables.
3. Put a lot of seasonings in cooking.
In order to pursue the deliciousness of the dishes, many people add a lot of seasonings to cooking, which also adds a lot of Salt. For example, the salt content of soy sauce is 15% to 20%, and the salt content of chicken essence is 10%. Adding sugar to stir-fry dishes will offset the salty taste by the sweetness, and the taste of the dishes will become weaker. Instead, you need to add more salt.
The correct way: only put a little salt or seafood soy sauce in cooking, and use less chicken essence and MSG. If you are afraid that the fried dishes will not taste good, you can use more onion, ginger, garlic or Sichuan pepper to taste, so that the fried dishes are light and delicious, and the original flavor of the ingredients is preserved.
4. Cook with oil first
We are making dried beans and teriyaki When waiting for dishes, in order to improve the taste, I often like to put the ingredients in the oil first, then take them out and continue to fry them. However, this cooking habit will lead to excessive intake of fat by the human body, destroy the nutrition of the vegetables themselves, and may also produce carcinogens. If the remaining oil used for frying is reused, it is easy to generate a class 1 carcinogen recognized by the International Agency for Research on Cancer – benzopyrene.
Correct way: eat less rapeseed and fried vegetables, and choose cooking methods such as stir-frying, salad dressing, blanching and steaming when cooking vegetables.
5. Fry without brushing the pot after cooking
Many people often fry the next dish directly after the first dish to save trouble or to see that the pot is clean. But in fact, when the residual oil attached to the pot is heated again at high temperature, carcinogens such as benzopyrene may be produced.
Correct method: It is recommended that you clean the pot carefully after frying a dish, and then fry the next dish.
6. Turn off the range hood immediately after cooking.
The range hood contains a variety of harmful substances, which are very harmful to the body. , induce asthma, inflammation, etc.! The range hood plays a very important role in the elimination of exhaust gas. Some people don’t like to turn on the range hood, and some people turn off the range hood as soon as cooking is over. But in fact, it takes a certain amount of time for the range hood to remove exhaust gas. After cooking, there is still some exhaust gas that is not exhausted and remains in the kitchen.
Correct method: After cooking, let the range hood continue to work for 3 to 5 minutes, so as to ensure that the harmful gases are completely discharged. At the same time, close the door and open the window to let the kitchen fumes spread out and reduce the harm.
