                          If you own a pressure-cooker but use it only 
                        occasionally (if ever), dig it out and dust it off. 
                     Pressure-cooked vegetables, beans, and rice cook
               up fast and tender in a pressure cooker,  or less of moisture.


                  De-fat Soups, Stews, and Sauces

When you cook lean ground beef for home-made soups, tacos, chilli, or casseroles, pour off all the fat before adding the remaining ingredients. Similarly, after making soups, stews, pot roast, chilli, or spaghetti sauce containing meat, refrigerate them and skim off the layer of fat that forms on the surface. (A gravy skimmer does this best.) For every tablespoon of fat you remove, you'll save about 100 calories.
