Healthy eating is not just about choosing which foods we are going to eat or banish from our plates, but also how to prepare them, as this will influence whether or not their properties are destroyed or if too many calories are added.
Anyone who is not interested in healthy eating has an iron among their kitchen utensils, because cooking in this way has great advantages. To begin with, food retains its almost intact nutritional properties, there is a minimum intake of additional fat, the food remains with an excellent natural flavor and can be seasoned to taste -spices, herbs, oils-. Less or even no oil is used and it is an easy way to prepare, which can be done by anyone, even those less experienced in the culinary arts. But, in addition, this preparation is the most indicated, often recommended by doctors, for people with digestive problems.
But not all irons are the same, the new iron Jata Meaning, designed and manufactured in Spain – more precisely in Tudela, Navarre – which meets national quality standards and contributes to our economy. It is also preferred by planchivores More demanding; because it has 2,500 W of power and a terrastone surface, with three non-stick layers where nothing sticks. Its patented “M” shaped resistance makes it unique, as it dissipates heat evenly and has a “super speed” system to tilt the iron, facilitating the collection of fats and oils; as well as cool-to-the-touch handles. And, as if that were not enough, it is very easy to clean.
Thanks to this plancha, sumptuous Christmas lunches and dinners can become menus healthy and more digestive. It’s just a matter of strategy, having a Jata Senses and following some of the recipes we’ve discovered for you. The important thing is the party, not the calories!
