High cholesterol levels require a number of lifestyle changes, including modifying your diet.  To do this, a slight change in the way you cook may be necessary. Cooking for a low cholesterol diet is not difficult, but you will have to use some different techniques and food choices to keep you heart healthy. 

In general with cooking, baking, broiling, grilling, even microwaving will help control the amount of saturated fat in your food. A light stir-fry or sauté is acceptable, but only with a controlled amount of oil. In addition, limit the amount of high-saturated fat products in your house and stock up on alternatives such as herbs or wine.

Another component to a low cholesterol diet is lean meat and poultry. When cooking meat and poultry, you can reduce the saturated fat in meat by trimming off all of the fat you see. Also, instead of frying, try to broil, roast, or bake the meat. If you roast or bake, try using a rack to drain off the fat so that you do not end up consuming this with the meat. Wine, lemon juice, vinegar, or a fat-free or low-fat oil marinade can help with keeping the meat moist while adding a wonderful flavor. Do you love your stews and soups? Cook these the day before and refrigerate; this allows the fat to rise to the top and harden, which you can remove before reheating.
