Rice In Clay Pots - Here's What Happens To The Carbohydrates

By
There are several advantages of cooking rice in a clay pot. If you have tried it, you must already be aware of most of these. For instance, rice cooks soft, fluffy and each grain separate from one another in a clay pot - without using any oils or additives. On the other hand, while cooking rice in conventional pots, they mostly turn out to be mushy and taste quite bland. But the important thing is - what happens to the carbohydrates? Let's find out...
Types of Carbohydrates in Rice
Rice contains simple and complex carbohydrates. The body needs a balance of both for optimal management of insulin - a naturally produced hormone that controls sugar levels in the blood. Simple carbs break quickly and release glucose, but complex carbs burn and release energy slowly.
Rice Cooked in Conventional Cookware
Complex carbs, the slow-burning kind- are also delicate and subject to damage with harsh heat. The problem with metals and ceramic cookware is that they give out harsh near-infrared heat. It is evident from the fact that touching a hot metal/ceramic pot burns your fingers. It does something similar to the delicate complex carbs. As a result, the cooked rice is left with only simple carbs and starch. When you keep eating such depleted grains regularly, the body rushes to produce insulin to break down simple carbs into energy. There is a constant high demand for insulin coupled with a deficiency of complex carbs - the body finally fails to produce enough insulin. The excessive glucose in the blood causes Type 2 diabetes.
Also, rice cooked in metals and ceramics become toxic from what leaches from these cookware - they weaken your immune system.
Rice Cooked in a Pure Clay Pot
When you cook rice in pure clay pots, it not only cooks fluffy and better tasting, the nutrients are saved as well. Thanks to food-friendly far-infrared heat from pure-clay, the simple carbs, and the more delicate complex carbs stay intact. A balanced proportion of these two keeps body functions healthy and its ability to produce insulin slowly improves again!
When you keep providing your body a balanced diet, the insulin levels are well-managed once again and THIS HEALS DIABETES! - It may sound unbelievable but it's true, based on real-life experiences of people. When you switch to clay cookware permanently, you start feeling healthier with high energy levels (thanks to complex carbs) and better immunity (because no more metal toxins)!
It's never too late to make a change for your family's health!
Hi, I am Sharon Ray and I hope you liked my article about cooking healthy rice with pure clay pots. I am a passionate healthy cook and I love to share my findings with people. I got my healthy rice cooker from Miriams Earthen Cookware - an an All-American company that makes 100% Healthy, Green & Non-toxic cookware.

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...
