No matter what time it is, our lives are inseparable from three meals a day, and for many people, it is a very happy moment for a family to sit and eat together. With the improvement of living standards, more and more people are paying more attention to eating healthily, so nowadays eating is not only to satisfy the enjoyment of taste buds, but also to pursue nutritious and healthy eating. So no matter how busy the work is and the time is tight, many people are used to cooking at home, so that they can cook delicious meals with the freshest ingredients.
In people's perception, cooking for yourself is far healthier than eating out. In fact, cooking is not only about buying ingredients, from ready-made ingredients to the table, the whole process covers multiple links, in fact, each link is very particular, do it right, in order to eat nutritious and hygienic, and if you do it wrong, it may cause a large loss of nutrients of the ingredients, and even produce harmful substances, which is not good for health. Here are 5 common "bad habits" that people who cook often may not have noticed them, and it is recommended that some of them be changed as soon as possible, which are very unhealthy and worth noting.
1. Repeatedly scrub when washing rice
Rice is one of the main staple foods in our diet, so it is often necessary to wash and steam rice when cooking. When washing rice, the water is always white, and many people think that it is because it is not clean, so they will scrub the rice repeatedly until the water is clear. In fact, there is a layer of natural rice bran on the surface of rice, and it is the presence of this substance that will make the rice washing water look turbid. And rice bran contains a lot of vitamin B group, as well as iron, potassium, phosphorus and other ions, which are all beneficial components for our body. And repeated washing will wash off these nutrients, and the gains outweigh the losses.
Cook rice often, just use cold water when washing rice, simply pull a few times, and wash it 1-2 times. In addition, if you want to steam the rice grains fragrantly, we can first soak them in water for about half an hour, and then add a drop of cooking oil to steam them together.
2. Wash the vegetables only after they are cut
Every day when cooking, you need to pick and wash the vegetables and cut them into the ideal shape before cooking. Some vegetables are relatively large, so some people will cut them first and then wash them with water. Some people like to soak the cut vegetables in water for preservation.
As we all know, vegetables contain a lot of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients, and many substances are soluble in water. When we cut it, the cell wall at the incision is destroyed, and soaking it in water accelerates the dissolution and loss of nutrients. Moreover, tap water often contains certain impurities, and now that the weather is hot, it is easy to breed bacteria when the cut vegetables are soaked in water for a long time, and the vegetable incision is polluted. So the correct way is to wash the vegetables thoroughly first, and then cut them, and don't prepare them too long in advance, and cook them as soon as possible after cutting.
3. Smoke in the pot before stir-frying
When stir-frying, heat the oil in the pan, then pour in the ingredients, and stir-fry the vegetables. However, this oil temperature is also particular, some people think that the hotter the better, and they must wait until the smoke is out before putting the vegetables in the pot. Even in the process of stir-frying, smoke billowed out.
In fact, when we see the oil in the pot start to smoke, this temperature has reached about 200 degrees, and such a high temperature will produce some harmful substances, which is not good for health for people who often stir-fry. In addition, when the ingredients are stir-fried at such a high temperature, the nutrients in them will be greatly destroyed.
When stir-frying, we can boil the pot dry and hot, put our hands on it, and pour oil when there is a scorching feeling, at this time the oil is easy to heat through, pour the vegetables into it and fry them quickly.
4. After frying one dish, continue to fry the next dish without washing the pot
When preparing a meal, there is often more than one dish. Often, 2-3 or even more are fried in one pot. Some people will put a dish out and fry the next dish directly with oil, while others will wipe it with paper and then continue to stir-fry.
In fact, in the process of stir-frying, there will be a lot of grease and food residues attached to its surface. If it is directly heated at high temperatures, harmful substances such as benzopyrene will be produced, and if this is often the case, these harmful substances will enter our body through meals and affect health. So after frying, be sure to wash the pan before stir-frying the next one.
5. Put salt too early when stir-frying
Salt is the seasoning used in almost all dishes and is an essential ingredient for our human body. When stir-frying, some people like to put oil when the dish is in the pot, especially when frying green leafy vegetables, because its texture is relatively loose, it is inconvenient when stir-frying, and after adding salt, it will soon lose water and wilt. In addition, some people also like to put salt in the early stew when stewing meat, thinking that the stewed meat is more flavorful.
In fact, whether it is stir-fry or stew, it is not advisable to put salt too early, but the later the better. Vegetables are prone to water loss under the action of salt, and the nutrients in them will also be lost, and the color will be yellow and dark, and the taste will become soft and not full. If the meat is salted too early, it is not easy to stew thoroughly, and the taste is easy to become old and hard. Generally, the meat is stewed and then salted, which is easier to absorb the flavor and will not affect the taste.
