Question
Which is the best method of cooking food? The waterless way or pressure cooking?

Answer
Hello Susan!

   Pressure cooking would be a better method because the food stays tender and juicy.  Waterless cooking tends to leave foods more dry.  The following are also healthy ways to prepare foods.

# Broiling: A fast way to cook fish, meat and poultry, as the food is under a direct heat source. The fat from meat simply drains away into the bottom of the pan.
# Braising: This is where food is cooked slowly in a small amount of liquid at low heat in a tightly covered pot ?usually in the oven. You can brown the food beforehand if you like. Wine, broth or water are good braising liquids. This is a great way to cook tougher cuts of meat
# Grilling: Outdoors or indoors. The fat drains away from the food
# Marinating: Adds flavor and tenderizes meat.

# Microwaving: Be sure to turn food at certain intervals to ensure even cooking.
# Pan-frying/searing: Another fast and efficient way to cook meat that seals in flavor.
# Poaching: A great way to cook fish or chicken, by gently simmering in a flavored liquid.
# Roasting: This can be done without using a great deal of oil, or by using broth to baste instead. Foil wrap can also be used to seal in moisture.
# Sauteing: This allows us to cook food quickly in a small amount of hot oil. Make sure the oil is actually hot before the food is added, otherwise the food will absorb oil and become soggy.
# Steaming: Great for fish and vegetables. Multi-level steamers allow a number foods to be steamed simultaneously.
# Stir-frying Cut chicken, or beef, and vegetables into thin strips, lightly coat pan with oil and cook over high heat, stirring, and tossing. A wok is best for this.
