Old-fashioned Cooking

Preparing food as it was done before the arrival of technology is much healthier than doing it with electronic devices, and sometimes, much easier and cheaper. Nowadays, we are very accustomed to using the microwave for everything and this might not be the best alternative. Although this device heats food relatively quickly, the low humidity it operates with and the radiation used for heating could be harmful. What is proven is that ingredients heated in microwaves or electric ovens lose most of their nutrients as they evaporate instead of retaining them. There are other medical arguments that denounce microwaves as pollutants, which promotes the use of pots and pans for cooking. Preparing food quickly is also associated with ready-made dinners and frozen foods, which also lack any of the initial vitamins or proteins of the ingredients. At the same time, cooking in a slower and more conscientious manner, as in the case of stews and soups, allows one to preserve, mix, and enhance the attributes of each food. Speaking of flavor, we all know that taste that dishes cooked naturally, over embers or in pots have, and we also know the lack of flavor and texture of foods prepared instantly. It is said that the flavor of food prepared the old-fashioned way is reduced by 60% when heated in an electronic device like a microwave. Now, this is not an affront against all electronic devices, as there are several that help a lot in the kitchen. Preparing your food with electric cutters or grinders saves time, but that saved time should be reflected in stews or simple preparations that do not require electric power to taste good. Fresh ingredients are at their best when cooked slowly or worked with directly in cold, and this is what is done in the best restaurants in the world.   Ancient Cooking Recipes Spicy Pork Ribs Recipe Ingredients: - 1 chopped onion - 2 chopped garlic cloves - 2.5 centimeters of fresh ginger sliced - 1 deseeded chopped chili - 5 tablespoons of soy sauce - lime juice - sugar - peanut oil - 1 kilogram of pork ribs - salt to taste - pepper to taste Find the steps to prepare these ribs by clicking here.   Lamb Chops Recipe Ingredients: - 12 lamb rib chops - 5 tablespoons of olive oil - 2 chopped/crushed garlic cloves - 3 shallots - 2 tablespoons of paprika - 1 tablespoon of chopped mint - 5 tablespoons of salt - 2 tablespoons of sumac plant - pepper - spices Click here and discover the procedure to prepare this recipe.   Duck Confit Recipe Ingredients: - 2 duck legs - 3 tablespoons of sugar - 2 tablespoons of salt - 1 bunch of rosemary - 1 bunch of dill - 1 tablespoon of olive oil To see the preparation procedure for this recipe click here.   Are you willing to give up electric appliances to enhance the flavor of your food?
