Additional Tips

Stick to non-stick pans

Looking for a healthier way to cook? Non-stick pots and pans are a worthy investment as they require less oil for cooking.

Choose healthier oils

Reduce the risk of heart disease by choosing your oils wisely. Unsaturated oils such as soybean, corn and peanut oils are far healthier than saturated oils such as ghee, butter and blended vegetable oil.

Get your greens right

Get more crunch and flavour from your vegetables by searing them lightly for an irresistible garden-fresh taste. Overcooking vegetables will reduce the amount of nutrients they contain.
