The Biggest Secret to Cooking Delicious Food – Tu Olla
We get it, cooking delicious food and keeping it healthy can be a real problem, because if you want tasty food many times you have to compromise the health of the ingredients etc. But will you believe me when I tell you that food can be made extremely healthy and delicious by changing something that you may be overlooking all the time: the pot!
How can this be true? Can you make healthy foods just by changing the pot and without having to add unhealthy ingredients (like heavy cream, canned tomatoes, etc.)? Yes. A pot made of the right material and the right design can take care of all these things and cook delicious food every time. And what is this correct material? PURE CLAY – All-natural clay cookware, unglazed and made without contaminants. How can you do this? Read on to find out:
Cooking Delicious Food Reason #1: The Heat Cooking your food is very different!
The heat that radiates from the walls of a pure clay pot is very different: the gentle far-infrared heat of pure clay pots penetrates deep into each grain, cooking food evenly and thoroughly. This preserves the delicate nutrients that are destroyed by conventional cookware. Well-cooked food, neither overcooked nor undercooked, is what one expects from a good cookware. On the other hand, metals and ceramics radiate intense heat that cooks unevenly and food becomes mushy and sometimes even burnt. Since most of the nutrients are destroyed, the result is nutritionally deficient food that tastes bland.
Cooking Delicious Food Reason #2: Steam Canning – Water Soluble Nutrients
Food cooked in pure clay is rich in water-soluble vitamins, all thanks to excellent steam management. The gentle heat causes the steam to be delayed until the end of the cooking process, and when released, it condenses on the inside of the lid, which stays cooler than the rest of the pot, and falls back into the food. This unique feature allows food to be moist and juicy! Unlike conventional cookware, steam is released from the very beginning of the cooking process and must be let out through the vents to prevent the pot from bursting and thus losing water-soluble nutrients. and the food is dry and less tasty.
Cooking Delicious Food Reason #3: Food Retains Essential Phytonutrients – YUM!
In conventional cookware, food generally loses its natural color and thus its fresh taste. This is due to the loss of an important group of phytonutrients (plant chemicals) called flavonoids. Up to 80 percent of the flavonoids can be lost in the cooking process. This is exactly what happens when cooking conventionally.
When food is cooked in pure clay, the flavonoids are also fully preserved, so the food retains its natural color. People who have been cooking in pure clay have reported that the food tastes better and is richer in color each time.
