Healthy Cooking Made Easier : Tips from the Cuisinart Heritage Collection

Turning the Art of Great Cooking into a Lifestyle. Since 1973, Cuisinart has helped passionate home chefs master the Art of Everyday Cooking. Use these practical, brand-forward tips to make healthier choices without sacrificing flavor.

1) Choose the right fat for the job

• High-heat searing and roasting: choose avocado oil or refined oils with higher smoke points.

• Low to moderate heat and finishing: extra-virgin olive oil for rich flavor and antioxidants.

2) Make the air fryer your crispy companion

• Get golden, crunchy results with significantly less oil compared to deep frying.

• Batch crispy vegetables, salmon, or chicken cutlets on busy weeknights.

3) Steam, sauté, and roast smart

• Steaming preserves texture and nutrients—perfect for greens and delicate veg.

• Quick sauté in nonstick or ceramic reduces oil while building flavor.

• Sheet-pan roasting concentrates sweetness without heavy sauces.

4) Build bold flavor with less salt

• Layer citrus zest, fresh herbs, garlic, and spices.

• Finish with acid—lemon, vinegar—to brighten and balance.

5) Prep once, eat well all week

• Cook whole grains (quinoa, brown rice, farro) and store in portions.

• Chop vegetables safely with sharp Cuisinart knives for even, efficient cooking.

6) Smart swaps and portions

• Swap heavy dressings for yogurt-based sauces.

• Use smaller plates and measure healthy fats for portion awareness.
