Cooking Methods: From Least to Most Potentially Toxic

Is your cooking method silently harming you? From steaming to smoking, some techniques are TOXIC!

Here are all the cooking methods from least to most toxic, and simple ways to combat the toxin load:

(Thread) Steaming: Least Toxic

Steaming uses water vapor at 212°F (100°C) to cook food, avoiding direct contact with high heat or oil. It produces no harmful compounds like HCAs, PAHs, or acrylamide, as it doesn’t involve browning or charring. Steaming preserves nutrients (e.g., water-soluble vitamins like vitamin C) better than most methods, especially for vegetables. No added fats or oils reduce the risk of oxidation.
