Slow Cooker Crock Pot

Cooking low fat, slow cooker recipes add to the quality of food prepared and cooked through slow cookers. Here are tips on how to maintain the low fat quality of slow cooker meals.

First low fat, slow cooker recipe tip is always be aware of what kind of cooking oil is to be used. The best to use are olive oil and vegetable cooking oil. Some use pork oil (pork fats boiled with a small amount of water until dried and oil is produced) for tastier recipes. This definitely results to better taste quality but not to a healthy low fat, slow cooker recipe.

Prefer to boil, simmer, steam, or grill than fry or sauté. Simmer, boil, or steam—cooking processes that do not need cooking oil, are what slow cookers do best. And as long as people can do away with oily cooking, like a low fat, slow cooker recipe, the healthier cooking procedures are. A very minimal amount of beef or pork fat can be tolerable in cooking, and health quality of food is better.

Sautéing is often a cooking procedure requirement. In this case, aside from using olive oil or vegetable oil, a good tip is sauté with an ample amount of tomatoes. Cooked tomatoes, like sautéed ones, produce lycopene which is a good counter measure against harmful fats or cholesterol. Sautéing tomatoes in a low fat, slow cooker recipe is a good and healthy idea.

Another tip worth considering is using tuna fish as substitute for pork or beef requirements. Tuna, aside from providing delicious taste in food, is also rich in protein. Tuna also has good fats and is thus suitable for a low fat, slow cooker recipe. Casseroles baked with cream or mayonnaise can be fully of tuna instead of beef or pork.

Skinless chicken is also a good option for a low fat, slow cooker recipe. Aside from providing low fat, slow cooker recipes with delectable meat flavor, skinless chicken is a good source of protein and chicken broth has fever and cold alleviating qualities. The best chicken parts are breast, thigh, and drumsticks. Chicken neck, wings, and bottom part are to be avoided when preparing a low fat, slow cooker recipe.

Finally, tofu or soya milk curd are excellent beef and pork substitute when cooking a low fat, slow cooker recipe. Or else, mix in tofu with some pork and beef to minimize fatty contents. When recipe requires butter, a high-quality margarine or non-fat milk or pure coco milk can be good substitutes.
