What do you use to moisten your meat?



Recommended Posts

Normally, I like to taste my meat. chicken on the bbq with little flavor, steak with no flavor, etc. I enjoy the taste of the actual meat. My husband is not like me and he douses everything in sauce, but I don't like my food that way.

I am afraid when I start eating food again I am going to need to moisten my food more, and I'm not going to like it.

So what do you use to moisten your food? My doctor recommends light mayo, light Salad Dressing, salsa, etc, but none of those sound good to me on chicken and steak.

If your grilling it, what about wrapping it in foil after a few mins of sering the meat... With some extra virgin olive oil, or i can't believe its not butter, even maybe 1/2 cup water...??

I use my crock pot a lot. The meat is very moist but the taste not hidden under BBQ Sauce, etc.

I haven't had any problems with meat...and I have prett good restriction. I always marinate our steaks with some evoo and s&p and the use a tenderizer to poke holes in it. as for chicken...i love salsa over my chicken. what I do is raw chicken in a casserold dish, a can of salsa and bake till chicken is cook and then sprinkle some cheese over top. super moist and so yummy if you are needing a mexican kick!

Crockpot...that has been great for me. Keeps the meat moist and I can get it down pretty easily. Also, I have a Deep Covered Baker from Pampered Chef and it is great for cooking meat in the microwave. When I don't have time for the crockpot, the microwave has been great...keeps the meat moist and juicy.

I am a steak lover, and there is no other way that I want my steak other than grilled, and I stayed away from it for a long time because I did not think I would be able to get it down. To my surprise it went down easily...I had my husband cook it a little rarer than usual, but it was fine.

Good Luck,

Michelle

How about a little chicken broth / beef broth? Just a little on the side to dip in

I can't douse a steak with anything, either. I eat it rare, and in tiny bites, well-chewed. I do this with most meats--I just make sure they are moist. Some days, they go down well, others are tighter---but sauce doesn't really make a tight day looser, so I stick with what I like :cursing:

Agree- So do I and the meat usually comes out falling apart. It is great and most of all...most of the time it is a one dish meal..no extra dirty pots etc! Which is a plus for me!!

Tomatoes can be your best friend as far as eating meat

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
