Cooking in a frying pan without using oil is possible with some simple and effective alternatives. UAportal has shared tips that will help to reduce the fat content in dishes and still achieve great taste and texture.

Non-stick cooking spray

Using a non-stick cooking spray is a great alternative to traditional oils because it provides a thin layer that prevents sticking without adding excess fat to the food.

A light layer of cooking spray can be sprayed onto the pan before heating, allowing you to cook your favorite foods without oil. This method works well for sautéing vegetables, baking meat, and frying eggs without adding fat.

Use natural juices and broths

Using natural juices, such as lemon or orange, or flavorful broths, such as vegetable or chicken, is a great way to replace oil. These liquids can be used to deglaze the pan, preventing sticking and giving the food a great flavor.

Use water and steam

Cooking with water and steam can be an effective way to prevent sticking. A small amount of water in the pan can create steam to cook vegetables, which keeps them tender.

Additionally, the combination of water and flavorful seasonings can be used to cook meat, ensuring a delicious and juicy flavor without the addition of oil.
