5 easy kitchen hacks that make healthier choices less of a chore, and way more delicious.
January is the perfect time to reset our routines and bring a little balance back into the kitchen. After the indulgence of the festive season, many of us start craving lighter meals that still feel comforting, flavoursome and easy to prepare.
Looking for some inspiration? Healthy eating doesn’t need to be complicated, and with the right kitchen set-up and appliances, it can be simple. Healthy cooking is all about convenience, great ingredients, reliable recipes and a kitchen that does the hard work for you.
When it comes to healthy eating at home, how you cook is just as important as what you cook. Steaming and grilling are two of the best methods for retaining nutrients, enhancing natural flavours and reducing the need for added fats.
A steam oven is a brilliant addition to any kitchen focused on healthy living. Not only does steam cooking help food keep its natural moisture, colour and nutritional value, but it helps you to make healthier cooking choices without adding steps to your routine.
Steam cooking is also a much better way to reheat food, as instead of drying the food out, it adds moisture back in. This helps food stay flavoursome, locks in nutrients and ensures leftovers and meal preps taste just as great as when they were first cooked.

Pick mid-week meals that involve little fuss but still taste great, like Lemon and Ginger Marinated Grilled Chicken.
Using the iGriddle3, it’s easy to combine hob zones and cook in bulk using the large surface area, while maintaining juicy and tender chicken, ideal for healthy protein-packed meals.
Pair it with steamed vegetables, cous cous or rice prepared in your steam oven for a balanced, nutritious dinner that’s ready in no time.
January is made for batch cooking, and a large capacity oven makes it feel refreshingly simple. Preparing generous portions in one session means fewer decisions and less cooking during the week ahead, as well as keeping those energy costs down.
Simple tray bakes and one-tin recipes can easily fit with plenty of room to spare. It’s an easy way to stay on track with healthy eating while giving yourself more time back.

A spacious fridge freezer is the unsung hero of healthy cooking. With plenty of room and smart storage, your prepped meals stay fresh and ready whenever you need them. You can also easily meal prep in advance and store for extra longevity in the freezer, without fighting for space.
No rummaging, just well-kept ingredients and make-ahead meals that slot seamlessly into busy days or last-minute change of plans.
