Make Yogurt At Home Thicker & Creamier (No Additives)

By
How to make yogurt at home? But not just any yogurt, how to make delicious, thick and creamy yogurt right in your kitchen? This question can tempt your taste buds any time but the process of making it might seem daunting, a lot of times. Some of the common problems are yogurt turning out watery, runny or too sour or yogurt not setting at all! This makes most people turn to the store-bought yogurt which tastes good for sure, but with consequences.
The Additives in Store Bought Yogurt
The store-bought yogurt gets its taste and texture from a number of additives and artificial sugars which may be good to the taste but are a lot less nutritious and even bad for health sometimes. The commonly used additives for thickening are gelatin (glue made from animal bones), pectin (a bio-polymer acid, lab-made ingredient), powdered milk etc. And it is usually loaded with unhealthy sugars and artificial sweeteners that can make things really bad for people who have type 2 diabetes. While real and all-natural yogurt is actually supposed to help with many health issues, this one with the additives does just the opposite.
So, if one wants to take advantage of all the essential nutrients the yogurt can offer, it's important that it is made at home using the natural method, which is actually quite simple if you know this secret:
The Natural Method of Making Yogurt at Home
The secret to making the thickest and creamy yogurt is making it at home in a pure clay pot! Pure-clay pots are made from the highest quality natural clay (primary clay) that has no contaminants and is made by hands without using ANY additives. These pots are Non-toxic - will make sure nothing leaches into your yogurt and contaminate it, and semi-porous - allow excess water to evaporate making the yogurt thick and creamy, naturally and WITHOUT any additives.
Once you have the pot, the rest is easy:
  1. Heat the milk to just before boiling point (till small bubbles form on the surface). Turn stove off, and open lid and let it cool down for 30 mins or so, till you can put your little finger and hold it there for 5 secs. Now the milk is ready for the culture.
  2. Add yogurt culture.
  3. Set in the oven with the lid on and oven light on.
  4. Let it incubate for 6-8 hours and the yogurt is ready.
The whole process takes less than 10 minutes hands-on time and the yogurt left in the pot gets thicker and creamier within few hours after fermenting. Also, no additives or sugars are needed and there is no nutritional loss (because the heat from the walls of the pot is gentle on the food's nutritional cells). By using this natural method, you will get healthy, delicious and creamy yogurt every time!

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. How is Sautéing & Stir Frying Different with MEC? Food sticking or burning to the pot is a ...

Back to Basics Cooking, Baking & Grilling

By
keeping your area clean while you cook is a chore in its self. My husband always laughs about the after math when I'm done baking. Here are some helpful ways to improve on making less of a mess in the first place. Use a bowl for your scraps and garbage as you go saving you time running to the trash making you more efficient. Using a thin flexible mat for your cutting board makes transferring vegetables to your pot much easier, by using the flexible mat as a funnel. Getting into the habit of using a splatter screen when sauteing or shallow frying will save you a lot of time on your clean-up later. Measuring ingredients and using cooking spray over the sink will keep messes confined to an easy to clean area. Keeping a bottle of soapy water handy make it more likely that cleaning up as you go will become part of your cooking habits. Another tip is to cook more slowly. Be a deliberate in measuring, chopping and wiping between each step. but this is one tip I often don't follow m...

Grilling Fresh Vegetables: 5 Tips Every Griller Should Know

By
When it comes to grilling, cooking fresh produce is different compared to cooking meat. One is quicker cooking time. Most vegetables have water content so when cooked on the grill, most of it will evaporate. As a result, the sugars become more condensed and the flavour becomes more concentrated, their natural flavour is enhanced. Enjoy a healthy snack or side dish - remember these helpful tips when grilling fresh vegetables! Wash veggies thoroughly Vegetables should be washed thoroughly before cooking. After washing, pat them dry with paper towels. Brush veggies with melted butter or oil or use non-stick cooking spray to prevent them from sticking to the grates. Make sure they are dry before brushing with oil - otherwise the oil won't stick. Cut them right To achieve perfectly-grilled vegetables, cut or slice them in uniform sizes - not too small that they'll fall through the grill grates but not too large to prevent longer cooking time. Use skewers if you prefer cooki...
