### My Top Tips for Grease-Free Cooking
#### 1. **Use Non-Stick Cookware or Cast Iron**
Good-quality non-stick pans let you cook with minimal oil. Cast iron, when properly seasoned, also requires less fat and offers excellent heat distribution.
#### 2. **Opt for Dry Cooking Methods**
* **Steaming, boiling, baking, or grilling** can be delicious and grease-free.
* When sautéing, try using a little broth or water instead of oil to prevent sticking.
#### 3. **Spray Instead of Pouring**
Instead of pouring oil, use an oil spray. It lightly coats the pan with minimal fat, cutting down excess grease dramatically.
#### 4. **Choose Lean Cuts and Trim Fat**
Lean meats like chicken breast, fish, or trimmed beef produce less grease during cooking. Trim visible fat before cooking to avoid extra grease buildup.
#### 5. **Drain and Blot**
After frying or sautéing, place your food on paper towels to absorb any excess oil before serving.
