Opinion essay: Best ways of coocking.

In the last years, there had been an incredible increase of people who cook in Spain, and it is easy to realize that this fact has been provoked by the mass media. These programs have made a huge rise of people who cook with chemical products, and it is not as adequate method of cooking as our country is used to having in all our history.

 We could see this impact growth in the development of programs such as “Master Chef” and “Top Chef”, among others. These programs have been created because they are watched by a wide variety of people, from children to adults of all ages, and they provide tremendous amounts of money owing to they generate a great expectation. Nevertheless, they have made that Spanish people tend to cook more with chemical products that they used to.

In these programs it is usual to see meals that have been produced by the intervention of chemical products, like nitrogen, instead of cooking them with natural products. It has not to be advisable to freeze a product in 5 seconds with a chemical at temperatures below 100 degrees. I am not a doctor, but as I see it, it is healthier to eat natural products and meals that have not been manipulated by these kinds of chemicals.

 I would also like to highlight that if you have never seen somebody doing mayonnaise, it is crazy to think that it is possible to do it with an egg, oil, a pinch of salt and some lemon juice. It is awesome how nature is! There is no chemical products on its mixture, it is only the result of the combination of four natural products. Thus, these types of creations have to be healthier and they have to contain a lot of more vitamins and minerals that support us than creations such as the ones which I had appointed in the last paragraph.

All in all, it is understandable that people like to watch TV programs such as “Master Chef” due to the fact that they teach us a lot of aspects in order to improve our palate when cooking. In brief, we can appreciate both ways of cooking; however, we have to know that it is healthier to consume natural products instead of meals that have been undergone by chemical products.
