5 Amazing Tricks To Use When Grilling Fresh Fruits

By
According to experts, almost all types of fruits can be cooked on a grill. Apples, pears and other hard fruits are fairly easy to cook while papayas, peaches and other soft fruits need your attention more. Soft fruits need to be just heated on the grates and not cooked to prevent becoming mushy.
Try a delicious and healthy snack today - use these amazing tricks when grilling fresh fruits:
Prepare them the right way
One thing you'd like to avoid is pieces of fruit falling through the grill grates. Cut or slice the fruits in pieces that are big enough to stay on the grates if you're planning to cook them directly on the rack. If you must cook smaller pieces, you can opt to place them on a grill pan or basket. You can also choose to skewer them - this way you can turn the skewers and make sure that your fruits are cooked evenly.
Use indirect heat
Don't grill fruits when the coals are hot - hard ones will dry out quick while soft one will easily get mushy. They will cook perfectly in indirect heat so place them on the outer edges of the grill or when the coals have started to die out.
Grill soft fruits with skin on
Leaving the skin on while on the grates will help maintain the shape and form of softer fruits like bananas. Many fresh produce also have plenty of nutrients that are in the skin.
Prevent them from sticking to your grates
Nobody like their food sticking to the racks - your ffod will be ruined plus it's a hassle to clean. Make sure to brush your fruit with melted butter or your choice of oil before they hit the grill to prevent sticking. If this is not an option, spray your grates with non-stick cooking spray before cooking anything.
Add sugar at the last minute
While a fruit cooked on the grill is tasty by itself, many opt to add more flavour and texture to complete a dish. You can brush fruits with butter or lemon juice or sprinkle them with brown sugar or cinnamon. If you're going to use sugar, make sure to add it at the last minute or when the fruit is heated through as sugar tends to burn quickly.
When grilling fresh fruits, try these easy yet effective tips and tricks and you'll surely be able to enjoy a deliciously sweet and healthy snack!

7 Sautéing & Stir Frying Recipes to Try With MEC

By
Sauteing & Stir frying is easier and healthier when done with MEC pots and pans. One of the biggest issues with this kind of cooking in conventional pots/pans is — the food sticks to the bottom, burns, and quite a bit is lost to burnt food. Some might think the non-stick pans and other coated or enameled cookware are a good options for this reasons, but they have an even more serious issues — the coating that makes them “non-stick” is full of chemicals and toxins that contaminate food and render it unhealthy.  Just  one  of these chemicals are a group called  perfluoroalkyl substances.   These and other so called “oil and water repellent chemicals” are in all the coating materials. These chemicals are also known for their disruption in the hormone producing organs, immune dysfunction, high cholesterol and even various forms of cancer.
