ovenin things isn't really healthy, its better to steam things, but fish (sea bass or trout) with a few herbs, butter, pinch of salt, spring onions wrapped in foil and ovened for 15-17 mins is nice.

Roasting/baking Chicken/Beef/Pork etc is just as healthy as steaming, plus tastes 1000 times better.

i disagree, steaming is much better, it also retains more moisture and nutrients in the food than other methods of cooking.

i think the question to the issue of whether different types of cooking methods results in the same "healthiness" depends on our definition of healthy, what is the definition of healthy to you. Probably different for everybody.

Fish maybe - personally i'd foil wrap that and bake it.
But there's no way i'm having it that steamed meat tastes better than roasted.
I'm probably a better cook than most and am always open to new ideas/methods, but i've never heard of a lovely traditional British Sunday Steam Dinner!

steamed dinner, lol.

yeah, ovening things can be tastier but some things are better steamed, have u ever tried steam egg custard tarts, delicious!

steamed chicken is a bit tastless when steamed but if u dip it in a nice sauce its quite nice actually. in a pan, heat up oil, throw in spring onions, ginger and a pinch of salt.
