Is it possible to heat canned food without any deterioration?
Answers:
I reakon so
If you mean loss of goodness/vitamins etc. it is best to tip out the contents into a non-metallic container and microwave it. Because microwaving is so fast, more of the goodness remains whereas boiling vegetables (for example) causes a considerable loss of goodness
Deterioration?
Some people believe canned the food has already deteriorated since most food are cooked in the can during the canning process.
If you don't want to food to deteriorate even more, then use the microwave so the food heats up quickly. You'll have to stir to ensure even heating, but this is less stirring than cooking on a stove top. Stirring being another cause of the food deteriorating in texture.
Can you prove any loss in quality or potency.
NO so Unless you overcook and it becomes a mush.
Most food is cooked IN the can on the production line.
in some cases overcooking is necessary to blance out objectionable tastes and toxins and tannins.
IN A STEAMER of pressurecooker
[removed from the can beforehand of course]
Open the can and put them in a glass bown or something that is not metallic and place in the microwave for a minute or two to heat up and it should be fine.
