Dude, you're cooking your onions backwards, you should brown them first. I put my onions in a nonstick pan on medium-high heat without liquid to brown them, stirring them frequently. Then I add little bits of vegetable broth to finish cooking them, allowing the broth to evaporate here and there to further brown the onions. Doing it this way also gives you some nice brown oniony stuff stuck to the pan and when you add broth and stir it around it coats the onions and makes them taste even better. Trust me, brown them well first, then add little bits of broth and stir frequently. This method works on all vegetables and makes them taste so good.

I think this is sound advice. Cooking onions brings out the natural sugars to caramelize. You lose a bit of that by cooking in water first.

I've cooked professionally for the last 12 years, went to culinary school, went vegan a week ago, and your last video that you mentioned your "water frying" blew my mind, not in a good way. I'm 100% absorbing the information in your videos, it's just hard to wrap your mind around, and try to unlearn everything you've been taught your whole life. Even after a week of eating vegan, but not whole food, I can actually see the benefits it's having on my body. I'm hoping I can cut out some of the oils and processed food, but I think that might take a little more effort. I honestly think the hardest part about all this stuff is the culture we've built around shitty eating, something I actively participated in perpetuating. I think I'm experiencing something of a culture shock about food. I think getting this sort of information out to people is important. Even if you left out all of the ethical troubles of consuming animal products, you're still left with the vastly negative effect it has on your own body.

Brien, if you are new to veganism, just be aware that you can still have a healthy vegan diet if you eat plant oils and some processed foods in moderation. I've been a vegan for over 10 years and I don't eliminate those things from my diet and my blood profile & general health is perfect right now. I'm not knocking Mic's video as no oil hacks are a handy idea for people who want to avoid it, but I like newbies to veganism to understand that oil-free and no processed foods are basically add-on personal preferences to a vegan diet.

Solar ovens really do a great job, and never over dry out your foods as they are baked in a sealed chamber. We use a solar parabolic for our pressure cooking, and steaming. It keeps all the cooking heat out of the house in the summer, and it saves energy. It also reduces our carbon foot print. Good video Mic.

If you've got lots of different flavors in like a chopped salad, can't go wrong with simply avocado + lemon juice. Or favorite hummus + lemon juice or water/coconut milk. Lots of people use tahini dressings. I made a great autumn squash, seed and roasted veg salad once and used strawberry jam + muddled fresh strawberries as a dressing and it was 👌🏼👌🏼. Also have puréed mango and lime juice in nutribullet as dressing before. So many great oil free options out there!! Edit: fresh herbs like cilantro and parsley are great to blend up with homemade dressings too!!

Mic., really nice introduction video into oil free cooking, thank you. Happy belated 17th Birthday Milo!

BTW I cook in a stainless steel pan (Notorious for having everything stick to it) And if you use water nothing sticks to it! Just make sure the pan heats up before you add food, just like you would with oil. When cooking onions I don't add water, except for a few tablespoons at the very end if needed. The benefit is 0 concern of toxic chemicals or chipped pieces from nonstick coating, and I can cook with it on high heat! Also I can use metal on them, and they last for generations, unlike nonstick which needs to be replaced after a few years. So it is possible to cook 100% oil free on stainless steel pans!

Have you ever tried to make hash browns on the panini maker?

@angelajohnson5728

6 жыл бұрын

To make hash browns sans oil...Use a regular, no-coating stainless steel frying pan (I don't use any coated cookware, stainless is fine as long as you get it hot enough, nothing sticks.) Add hash browns with some broth or water into hot pan, and as water simmers, stir hash browns till they're done. You have to be watching constantly, 'cause you will burn them otherwise. As the liquid evaporates, keep moving the hash browns in the hot pan they will get crispy, Then remove. Also, though I've never tried it, indoor grilling units with non-stick surfaces (like Geo. Foreman's grill) are supposed to work for hash browns. I prefer my way, though.

How long were you oil free before you noticed a change in your skin? I don't cook or bake with oil, but I do eat peanut butter occasionally, and buy various processed foods that I know have some oil (bread, crackers, things like that).

I mostly stopped using oil months ago, but I recently started using it again, because I calculated my macros, and I realized I wasn't getting nearly enough fat. It's hard to get enough fat if you don't want to eat handfuls of nuts or seeds, or tablespoons of peanut butter every single day. I know I'd get sick of it after a while. Using a tablespoon of olive oil in cooking is a lot easier.

VegAnimation i dont like most nuts, but spicy peanuts are super delicious. or you could eat walnuts with dried cranberries, i personally dint like walnuts but i really like them when i eat them with cranberries :) the dried ones contain lots of oil tho 😂 but you could also just put chopped nuts into your meals, say like a stirfry or something :)

Roasted sunflower seeds ^^ It takes a while to peel them, but that's ironically the thing I love most about them.

+autumnsylver -- Instead of frying or cooking with oil, you could adopt oil-free cooking but then add uncooked oil (typically, extra-virgin, cold-pressed and organic is the recommendation). It adds a bit of flavour, increases your fat intake, and the oil does not experience oxidation through heat. The concern with oil is that increases postprandial ('after eating') endothelial (the endothelium is the inner layer in arteries) dysfunction and triggers an inflammatory response. It seems that people with serious cardiovascular disease benefit very much from abstaining of all types of fats. However, for most of us a bit of oil may be more beneficial than not.

3:35 you said "you don't want to cook them over a medium heat" but I think you meant "high" heat.

Ohhhhhhhh, that makes much more sense. Thanks for clarifying, Chris!

It's not that hard to cook oil free in cast iron. I'm too paranoid about toxins in non-stick pans and plastic utensils to use any of that, but if you just watch the stuff carefully and keep it moving, and deglace with water or broth, it'll be fine.

SerendipitousSky how do you season the pans not using oil?

I never did it on my own, the pans I bought - Lodge brand, at Wal-mart/Kroger, etc. - sad they were pre-seasoned, so I just used them as normal.

Exactly! I use non-coated stainless steel, but the trick is to get your pan hot enough before adding food. And I do not mean turn it up to "Burn, you mother effer, burn!" Set the pan on medium or medium high and let it heat. If you hear a sizzling noise as you put the food in, you've probably got it hot enough. Then, keep it moving around in the pan for a few minutes after your liquid is gone if you want some caramelization and crispiness.

Thank you so much for this video! So helpful. I'm now looking forward to oil-free cooking.

awesome Mic thanks

But I love my olive oil. :(

Eat up! All these studies were done this year, 2 of them within the last month. www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/06/170621103123.htm www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/06/170602112837.htm www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/02/170213171419.htm

These studies are no good, one is done on mice. The second one just takes one single component of Olive Oil into account and compelety ignores the side effects. The last one correlates the healthy effects of the Mediterranian Diet with the use of Olive Oil, which proven to not be the case. It's all about the large amounts of veggies. Oilve Oil will fuck up you're Omega 3-6 ratio, which is a one way street to a heart attack. Which ironically, is Italy's number one killer, despite them using so Olive Oil on everything.

Oils and dietary fats are good for the body. You're doing harm to yourself by restricting those.

cubs0110 Mic just means isolated oils- not the healthy oils found in whole-food plants like olives and nuts.
