Tips for Healthy Cooking

Healthy ways of cooking:
 

•	Bake, steam, roast, broil, stew, or boil instead of frying. This helps remove fat.
•	Take off poultry skin before eating.
•	Use a nonstick pan with vegetable cooking oil spray or a small amount of liquid vegetable oil instead of lard, butter, shortening, or other fats that are solid at room temperature.
•	Trim visible fat before you cook meats.
•	Chill meat and poultry broth until fat becomes solid. Skim off fat before using the broth. Use skimmed broth to cook greens instead of fatback, hog jowls, or salt pork.
