Moist cooking methods that involve adding liquid to the food, such as boiling, steaming, poaching, and stewing help food retain more of its nutrients. Dry cooking methods involve cooking food with dry heat, such as baking, roasting, grilling, and frying. These methods can add flavor but can also cause food to lose more of its nutrients.
