Stewing is a long thermal processing of food, after which it is more easily absorbed by the body. Due to the fact that the dishes are prepared without adding oil, they are less caloric.

In turn, boiling is considered the most useful way of cooking food, as it allows you to preserve the maximum amount of nutrients.

The most correct way to prepare food is to place the food in boiling water and cook it in a small amount of liquid so that as few water-soluble vitamins as possible go into the water.

Roasting is also a healthy way to cook food if you cook raw food this way. Roasting meat helps make the product more dietary if you put a drip pan underneath it to drain the fat.
