FollowWe all know that we should reduce the amount of fat in our everyday meals but quite a few of us are on a time clock and do not always have the time to prepare a healthy meal. Many of us resort to fast food places as it offers us a meal that is quick and somewhat filling. This, of course, does not always mean that it is good for us.
A lot of times it is not so much as what we eat but what we put on top of it. The added toppings are what really causes us to put on the pounds. Gravies, mayonnaise, poutine, and butter all add to our caloric intake. An important rule is to bake, steam, or poach your meat or fish, rather than frying it. However, there are a couple of small appliances that are on the market that can help you to eat healthier by using less oil. Not only do you use less oil, the appliance is something that we have not had in our home several years ago. This method of cooking was usually on an open barbecue or fire pit, which, of course, sometimes burned the food rather than cook it properly.
The two small appliances that I am writing about are the Actifry as well as the George Foreman Grill. If you are thinking about getting the Actifry, I found some of them were on sale. Here is the large one that is in white and it is 50.00 cheaper than the black one. If you are interested in getting it, here it is;
Here is the black one;
I have used this product and find that it is very versatile and makes a lot of different foods that taste great and use little or no oil at all. And the french fries are just like they have come from a chip truck! But they are much healthier!
The George Foreman Grill is another appliance that works great. It makes great steak, fish, vegetables and potatoes with virtually no oil. The food is grilled to perfection and all with no flame. This appliance comes in various sizes and the grill itself is an easy clean up. Simply wash in warm, soapy water. Here is the link to the George Foreman Grill
There are several models of this appliance, this one is medium priced. All in all, both of these products will help you start on the road to eating healthier. Both appliances cook full meals in less time than it would take on a stove.
