Cooking Is Chemistry
How you prepare food can affect its texture, flavor and nutrient retention. Some water-soluble nutrients can be lost when foods are boiled in excess water and that cooking liquid is discarded.
Waterless cooking takes a different approach: use the food's natural moisture whenever practical, control the temperature and don't pour flavor away.
