snacks and home-made salad dress-
ings greatly help reduce the
amount of calories, fat and
cholesterol consumed in a day.

Of course, it also helps to” have
the right equipment while cooking
side by side. When shopping or
registering for cookware, look for
pots, pans and baking dishes of
long-lasting quality. Cooking is
available in a variety of metals
and non-stick surfaces. All are
indispensable aids in low or non-
fat cooking. Easy to clean and
dishwasher-safe, products with
coated metal surfaces do not react
with or discolor foods.

Before you buy, check pots for
thickness (or gauge), durability
and construction. Generaliy, the
thicker the pan, the more evenly it .
will conduct heat. Make sure
covers fit, arid handles are solid
and feel comfortable.

Cookware can be purchased by
the piece or in packaged sets.
Whichever you choose, these
pieces compose a good starter. col-
