7 foods you have been cooking wrong

Don't worry. We're not talking about mastering advanced culinary techniques. We've all prepared some foods that, regardless of our cooking skills, should have gone through a different preparation process. Do you think you can pass the test? Discover the foods you might be cooking wrong. Broccoli Although it is usually an excellent accompaniment to meat and pasta, it turns out that when boiled or fried, it loses most of its nutrients. If you want to take advantage of the antioxidant and anticancer properties of this plant, we recommend eating it raw or steamed. 焼き#ブロッコリ #baked and #steamed #brocoli #homecooking #sonyrx100m3 A photo published by iendo (@kenichiendo) on Oct 2, 2016 at 4:22 PDT Credit: kenichiendo Tomato Contrary to what happens with broccoli, the nutrients in tomatoes are activated when heated. Both antioxidants and cancer-fighting nutrients increase when tomatoes are cooked to nearly 87°C. https://www.instagram.com/p/BLFFeXpgt1C/ Credit: nynaazevedo Eggplant This vegetable requires a different preparation than others due to its high water content. Before boiling or frying it, as you probably do, the right way is to slice it, salt it, and let it drain for a couple of hours. This way, you will remove the excess water, and it will have a better consistency. https://www.instagram.com/p/BLCCpoBg-iu/ Credit: cindy.castellon Meat No matter how tempting it may seem, eating a charcoal-grilled piece of meat can increase the risk of cancer. According to some studies, cooking meat at high temperatures forms two potentially carcinogenic chemicals. The next time you want to enjoy a barbecue, watch the temperature. https://www.instagram.com/p/BLFVcG9AAjN/ Credit: michael.chang Pasta By now, you should know that pasta should be cooked in boiling salted water for a few minutes to be al dente. And please, do not throw away all the water. Leave just a little so the sauce adheres better to the pasta. https://www.instagram.com/p/BLFTMHNjQwb/ Credit: karlakzarate Bacon If you like crispy bacon bits, the best thing you can do is put the strips of this delight in from the beginning. Don't wait for the pan to heat up, as (besides causing a terrible rain of hot grease droplets) this will make it less greasy. https://www.instagram.com/p/BLFUAA5DlJm/ Credit: chefcobo Mushrooms It is clear that to prepare tastier dishes, fresh mushrooms are not an alternative but a necessity. Forget about canned mushrooms. Once this is clear, when cooking fresh mushrooms, try to do it in parts so that each slice can cook well on each side. Doing it this way will prevent mushy or chewy mushrooms. When you spend a day making side dishes and what’s left turns into dinner! 🍛 Here we have MUSHROOMS AL PIL PIL. The mushrooms 🍄 belong to the group of fresh mushrooms 🍄 and are rich in vitamin B5 or pantothenic acid 🔋 (2.1 ug per 100 g of food) Vitamin B5: ✅ Is part of the Q10 consumption, which acts in the activation of certain molecules involved in energy metabolism 🔋 ✅ Is necessary for the synthesis of stress hormones from cholesterol.
