Hello everyone, I am Xiao Yuanyuan. I was quarantined at home due to the epidemic, and takeaways cannot be delivered normally. Many people are forced to cook at home. A few days later, many people's cooking skills have made great progress, rushing to show off their cooking skills on social platforms.
It is certainly worth having fun in making delicious food, but many people only care about cooking and ignore many small details. Although the dishes made by are full of flavor, they have many bad habits of stir-frying. I thought it was a small matter that was not important, but it would greatly reduce the nutrition of the dishes and endanger the health of the family!
Bad habit 1: Don’t turn on the range hood
During the cooking process, a large amount of oil smoke will be generated. These smokes seem to be very small, but they contain many harmful particles. Once accidentally inhaled, it will be very harmful to the body. Some research and investigations show that people who have been exposed to oil smoke for a long time are more likely to suffer from lung cancer.
Some people also believe that oil smoke is only available during the cooking process. Since the dishes are all fried, of course I have to turn off the range hood to save the electricity bills for my home. In fact, the range hood does not discharge waste gas in an instant. After the vegetables are fried, there is still a lot of harmful smoke in the kitchen.
The correct way to do it is: after cooking, do not turn off the range hood immediately. lets him continue to work for 3 to 5 minutes, so that he can completely discharge harmful gases. It is best to close the door and open the window when cooking to help the kitchen smoke spread out.
Bad habit 2: Cut vegetables first and then wash
Many people like to cut vegetables first and then wash them when cooking. 's seemingly inconspicuous small actions actually seriously affected the health of the family. Cut the vegetables first and then wash them, and the remaining pesticides and bacteria will enter the interior of the vegetables from the incision.
After the vegetables are cut and washed with clean water, the nutrients inside the food will be lost in large quantities. Vitamin B, vitamin C and minerals can easily dissolve in water. After the ingredients in are cut, the area in contact with water is increased, resulting in nutrient loss.
The correct way to do it is: first wash the vegetables, and then vigorously dry the moisture on the surface of the vegetables. After the identity becomes less, cut into the desired shape. It is best to fry the chopped vegetables immediately to avoid the nutrients being oxidized.
Bad habits 3: Raw and cooked food share chopping board
Most families have only one chopping board in the kitchen. Whether it is cutting raw meat, vegetables, or roast duck or ham, they share the same chopping board. Cut raw food on the cutting board, and bacteria and parasite eggs in the raw meat will remain on the cutting board.
If you continue to cut cooked food on the same cutting board, the remaining insect eggs will be transferred to cooked food. will be prone to diarrhea and gastroenteritis .
The correct way to do it is: prepare a few more chopping boards at home. When cutting lettuce and cooked vegetables, try not to use the same cutting board, and do not mix meat and vegetables when cutting.
How to ensure the health of the kitchen?
1. Kitchen utensils are often replaced
. If you want to ensure the health of the kitchen, the utensils in the kitchen must be replaced in time. Ceramic tableware with cracks must be replaced in time. The color of porcelain contains lead, and once cracks appear, lead is likely to be mixed into the food.
plastic utensils are best changed every year. If plastic utensils are not replaced in time, they are likely to age and become brittle. At this time, the toxic small molecules will enter the dish and induce cancer.
Wooden chopsticks are best changed every six months. Once chopsticks made of wood bamboo are used continuously for more than half a year, bacteria will grow inside the chopsticks. If not replaced in time, diarrhea may easily occur.
2. Add salt before cooking
Many people like to add salt from the beginning when cooking. This way, although the fried dishes are delicious. However, salt is in a high temperature state for a long time, which is prone to carcinogens. If salt is placed too early, the nutrients in the food will be destroyed by salt. Therefore, it is best to add salt before leaving the pot.
Summary:
These seemingly unimportant trivial things are actually bad habits that affect health.If not corrected in time, it can easily affect the health of the family!
