How to Saute without Oil (Dry Saute – NOT in water)

The consumption of oil is associated with a number of diseases, including diabetes, heart disease, cancer, gallbladder disease, and arthritis. But how do you saute without oil?

No water! No broth!

I’ve seen many suggestions/recipes for sauteing in a little water or vegetable broth instead of oil, but (in my opinion) that method just doesn’t do it. The onions taste steamed, not sauteed.

Here’s a method that enables you to brown onions deliciously – without dropping oil. We call this dry saute.

How to Saute without Oil

1.Choose the right size pan.

You don’t want to crowd the onions, so be sure you use a big enough pan.

But you don’t want too big of a pan or the onions won’t cook properly.

Here are the pan sizes that I use:
For 2/3 cup of onions, I use a 6-inch pan.
For 1 1/3 cups of onions, I use a slightly larger pan. A 7- to 8-inch pan works well.
And for 2 cups of onions, I use a pan that’s about 9 to 10 inches in diameter.

2. Heat the pan

Heat pan over medium high heat for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes or until very warm (hot enough to sizzle).

IMPORTANT! – The key to being able to sauté onions without oil is to brown the onions before cooking – when they first go into the pan – not during or after the cooking process, so be sure your pan is very warm.

3. Add onions.

Add chopped onions and stir.

Use a pancake turner-type spatula to stir the onions. The flat edge works better than a spoon to keep onions from sticking to the pan.

The bottom of the onions should begin to brown within about 1 minute.

Reduce heat slightly, continue cooking, stirring often, and allow onions to brown for approximately an additional 4 minutes.

When onions have browned, reduce heat to low and continue cooking until they reach desired doneness.

4. Add 1 tablespoon of water.

When the onions are done, you can add about 1 tablespoon of water to the pan and allow it to sit for about 1 minute to get all the yummy brown goodness off the bottom of the pan.

Key to Success

This method takes a little bit of practice before you can get it right every time. The key to success is to have enough hot pan in the pan to brown the onions before they begin to cook. The more the onions cook before they brown the more they will stick to the pan.

Managing the risk of ‘gray fleet’ – RoSPA Workplace Safety Blog

With the growing trend for online shopping, next-day delivery and the retail/hospitality experience showing no signs of slowing down, businesses frequently need to recruit extra staff to meet increased demand (particularly in the run up to Christmas). A major national newspaper has reported that approximately 250,000 temporary positions will be on offer over the festive period and not just in restaurants, bars and shops, but also in warehouses and delivery.

Yodel, the courier giant recently announced they need an extra 1,500 temporary staff nationwide, including HGV class 1 drivers, warehouse operations, van drivers and couriers to fulfill client demands. With an increased number of vans, HGVs and delivery vehicles on the road, inevitably comes a greater risk of accidents. Look back 2 years to December 2017 and there were 462 fatal or serious accidents involving goods vehicles.

What is Gray Fleet?

During these busy periods online retail companies will often use ‘gray fleet’ drivers to deliver to customers. Gray fleet is simply the term used to describe any vehicle that does not belong to the company, but is used for business travel.

According to one BBC investigation, on a typical day a delivery driver for a leading company will make 150-200 deliveries. Although most companies will advise drivers to take regular comfort breaks, the reality is that this frenetic pace of work allows very little time for breaks, often resulting in extreme tiredness.

Sadly, tiredness is a major contributing factor to road accidents but isn’t the only risk of having a greater number of ‘gray fleet’ vehicles on the road:

Gray Fleet: The risks

Because gray fleet vehicles do not belong to the company, fleet managers face a complicated set of issues when it comes to managing the safety of their fleet. For one thing, employees using their own car may be outside of the established insurance and servicing policies, meaning their vehicles are not covered for company travel. Another issue is trying to keep track of the status of gray fleet vehicles to ensure they meet legal road requirements, including:

Driving license validity
Insurance details including business use
MOT certification
Road Tax validity

In addition to this, businesses also need to consider the suitability of the vehicle for work purposes. This could include the age and condition, or whether the vehicle is equipped with ABS, ESP, air conditioning and whether or not it is suitable for the journey requirements of the company.

To help avoid accidents on the road, RoSPA recommends that all delivery drivers are trained or trained in handling risks on the road. RoSPA offers a bespoke Gray Fleet management training course which allows companies to manage their gray fleet.

The benefit of undertaking such training is a quick and simple self-certification process, which is accessible to all drivers and sends alerts automatically to individuals and managers for MOT’s, insurance, road tax etc.

How does Santa stay safe at Christmas? – RoSPA Workplace Safety Blog

Delivering millions of gifts around the world is a complex and difficult task, even for Santa. Considering for a moment the impossibly short time he has to deliver these presents, coupled with the fact he has eight flying reindeers to manage along the way, it’s also a journey filled with many health and safety issues.

So what does Santa need to do to make sure he’s safe and that we all have a Merry Christmas? To answer that question we’ve compiled a list of 10 festive health and safety training solutions which those from the southern hemisphere might want to incorporate before implementing the world’s fastest delivery service:

1. Lone Workers

Ok, Santa’s got his herd of reindeers, but let’s face it, flying through the sky is a pretty lonely way of working. Moreover, it comes with added dangers – sudden illness or accident, abusive Christmas Eve revellers, or even mental health issues exacerbated by social isolation. Luckily for Santa, RoSPA offers a consultancy service for lone workers to help him deal with these challenges.

2. Confined Space

Clambering up and down chimneys is a tricky business, and let’s face it, Santa isn’t known for his svelte figure. Working in a confined space can be a dangerous activity, and the whole process of getting up and down the chimney stack presents a number of challenges – I’m sure we’ve all asked ourselves “Does Santa have 3 points of contact when climbing up a chimney?”

3. Fire Risk Assessment

It’s going to be cold on Christmas Eve and many of us still have log fires, but do we think about poor old Santa descending the chimney whilst an inferno rages at the bottom? Before every descent, Father Christmas needs to carry out a full Fire Risk Assessment to ensure that he can deliver the presents safely. Otherwise it won’t just be chestnuts roasting on an open fire!

4. Machinery safety

Whilst Christmas Eve is the culmination of Santa’s yearlong mission, the rest of the year is spent making all of the wonderful presents that make our dreams come true and ensure Dad has enough socks for another 12 months.

A lot of these presents require some pretty high risk machinery to make, so it’s important that Santa has a fully trained army of elves at his disposal. He’d be wise to put them all on a machinery safety training course first though.

5. Fleet Safety

Santa is responsible for a fleet of 8 reindeers and he has a duty of care to carry out the appropriate risk assessments. Of course, each reindeer may have different requirements – maybe Dasher’s a high risk sleigh puller, Comet dislikes working from height and Prancer struggles in icy conditions? Luckily, RoSPA offers a wide range of driver risk assessment options to help ensure that Santa and his fleet stay safe this festive season.

6. Manual Handling

Children can have long present lists, so Santa’s sack can be extremely heavy and be quite a challenge to handle. The last thing we want is for Santa to suffer a work related MSD! Santa would be wise to consider manual handling training before hauling a heavy sack around all night.

7. COSHH

Christmas has always been that time of year when everyone gets a little carried away, exchanging all manner of trinkets and ‘gifts’. Unfortunately for Santa, he’s the one responsible for storing, using, handling and transporting these gifts and there’s no telling what hazardous substances that might be there. Luckily for Santa, RoSPA offers COSHH training to help avoid exposure to any harmful substances.

8. Banksman

It’s very important for Santa’s little Elves to know how to effectively assist him when carrying out dangerous reversing maneuvers with his sleigh. After all, driving through the night can be extremely hazardous, particularly through a cloudy sky. The last thing we want is for Santa to have a driving accident on Christmas Eve, so the Elves would be wise to undertake expert Banksman training.

9. First aid at work

Poor old Santa has so little time and so many mince pies to digest on Christmas Eve. This large consumption of sweet delights can very well become a choking hazard if he is not careful. By undertaking First Aid at Work training, Santa can ensure he makes it through the night without any confectionery mishaps!

10. Work related stress

Finally, Christmas can be a stressful time of year for even the most seasoned festive supporters. Santa is no exception, he has a lot of pressure put on him and only one night to make it all happen. To avoid any stress reactions associated with work related stress, Santa would benefit from reading up on how to prevent work related stress.

And there you have it. For more information on any of RoSPA’s workplace safety training qualifications this Christmas, you can visit our website, email or call us on +44 (0)121 248 2233.

Make your health and safety top priority in 2020 – RoSPA Workplace Safety Blog

Warren Buffett, who was recently named as the fourth wealthiest individual in the world, once said:

“It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it. If you think about that, you’ll do things differently.”

This is good advice that can be applied to many aspects of life, but it’s especially true when it comes to health and safety.

When an accident occurs there are of course measurable outlays: damage to equipment, loss of revenue and sick days caused by injuries. There are also intangible costs such as damage to reputation and/or loss of trust in an organization. So here are 3 good reasons to make health and safety your top priority in 2020:

1) Your reputation depends on it

A major accident often attracts media attention and public outcry. If the situation is not handled confidently and competently, this can easily translate into reputational damage. It is difficult to be precise about the cost of reputational damage to an organization or company. However, Tim Ward, chief executive of the Quoted Companies Alliance says that the “total value of corporate reputation for all UK-listed companies could be worth as much as £1.7tn, or 28% of companies’ collective market value”.

One way to build trust in your organization’s health and safety processes is to join the RoSPA Membership community. Having RoSPA Membership is so much more than something to display on your letterhead; it helps your organization to continually improve its accident prevention polices, by gaining access to a wealth of health and safety knowledge, materials and benefits that’ll help your organization stay compliant with current regulations and up-to-date on best practice.

2) Accidents cost money

It is often assumed that workplace accident costs are recoverable through insurance. This is a dangerous misconception. Accidental and ill-health costs can be likened to an iceberg: costs that are recoverable are visible but those that are unrecoverable are hidden below the waterline and are many times greater. The HSE estimates the hidden cost of accidents can be up to 10 times greater than the insured costs. Uninsured costs can include:

lost time
Sick pay
Damage or loss of products and raw materials
Repairs to plant and equipment
Extra wages, overtime working and temporary labour
Production delays
investigation time
FFI or prosecution fines
Loss of contracts and damage to reputation
Legal costs.

To make sure you have a solid foundation to manage safety effectively, we offer a one-day Risk Assessment course which will help you carry out ‘suitable and sufficient’ assessments – thereby protecting employees ‘as far as is reasonably practicable’ and reducing the likelihood of unnecessary costs. The course is suitable for anyone with a responsibility for undertaking risk assessments, particularly line managers, supervisors and safety representatives.

3) It’s the Law

Still not convinced you should prioritize health safety? You should be – it’s the law. The Corporate Manslaughter Act in 2007 means that failure to meet your directors’ responsibilities for health and safety could now result in imprisonment. If you are a director, safety falls within your remit, and the law will therefore hold you accountable for any failings.

To make sure you stay compliant with the law, we offer a one-day Director Involvement course to teach you everything you need to know to monitor and review health and safety issues, as well as provide practical advice on driving forward health and safety strategies. The course is designed for directors, governors, trustees, officers and their equivalents in the private, public and voluntary sector.

Former Australian Medical Association President Says COVID Vaccines Are Much More Dangerous Than Thought

December 21, 2022 · 6:52 AM

From News.com.au:

Former federal MP [Member of Parliament?] Dr Kerryn Phelps has revealed he and his wife both suffered serious and ongoing injuries from Covid vaccines, while suggesting the true rate of adverse events is far higher than acknowledged due to underreporting and “threats” from medical regulators.

In an explosive submission to Parliament’s Long Covid inquiry, the former Australian Medical Association (AMA) president has broken her silence about the “devastating” experience — emerging as the most prominent public health figure in the country to speak up about the taboo subject.

“This is an issue that I have witnessed first-hand with my wife who suffered a severe neurological reaction to her first Pfizer vaccine within minutes, including burning face and gums, paraesthesiae, and numb hands and feet, while under observation by myself, another doctor and a registered nurse at the time of immunization,” the 65-year-old said.

Why is Meta inventory tanking? ‘The improper quantity on the improper time,’ analyst explains

Buyers in Meta inventory wished to listen to one factor on the embattled firm’s earnings name late Wednesday: an acknowledgment by founder Mark Zuckerberg that leaner spending instances had been forward as margins have been squeezed by an ill-timed metaverse construct out and a slowing advert market.

They heard the alternative.

The social media platform outlined about 13% year-over-year expense progress for fiscal 12 months 2023, properly above the Avenue’s forecast of seven%. Meta will clearly proceed to spend aggressively — regardless of the prospects of a 2023 US recession — on Instagram, the metaverse, and VR {hardware}.

“With a brand new CFO in place, some might argue the corporate is being overly conservative,” Deutsche Financial institution analyst Benjamin Black wrote in a word to purchasers, “and whereas Meta usually lowers [operating expenditure] steerage all year long (as they did thus far 12 months up to now), the elevated expense outlook is the improper quantity on the improper time for buyers. Maybe simply as importantly, rising Actuality Labs (RL) bills look like one supply of the elevated expense information as RL working losses are anticipated to develop considerably 12 months over 12 months in 2023.”

Meta shares crashed greater than 20% in pre-market buying and selling on Thursday. The ticker was atop the “Prime Trending” part on the Yahoo Finance platform.

Right here is how Meta carried out within the third quarter, which disenchanted buyers:

Income: $27.7 billion versus $27.4 billion anticipated
Earnings Per Share (EPS): $1.64 versus $1.89 anticipated
Fb Day by day Energetic Customers (DAUs): 1.98 billion versus 1.86 billion anticipated
Fb Month-to-month Energetic Customers (MAUs): 2.96 billion versus 2.97 anticipated
Actuality Labs working loss: $3.67 billion versus $3.09 billion anticipated

The corporate’s outlook additionally wasn’t superb. Meta’s fourth quarter income steerage got here in between $30 billion and $32.5 billion whereas Wall Avenue was anticipating $32.2 billion.

The Home of Zuck additionally introduced that will probably be pacing Actuality Lab investments past 2023, however that spending shall be considerably greater subsequent 12 months.

Once more, not what buyers wished to listen to.

“We consider buyers will query META’s FY23 steerage of ~15% expense progress and ~13% capex progress right into a slowing digital advert market. Our largest concern is the payback interval for Meta’s mixed ~$130 billion in capex/opex for FY23, which might take years to enhance the income progress trajectory,” Jefferies analyst Brent Thill stated in a consumer word.

Does Poor Posture Trigger Again Ache?

October 24, 2022 · 7:00 AM

No, in keeping with these three credentialed consultants at The Dialog. A snippet:

There’s a frequent perception that “good” posture is necessary to guard the backbone from injury, in addition to stop and deal with again ache. Good posture is usually outlined as sitting “upright”, standing “tall and aligned”, and lifting with a squat method and “straight again”.

Conversely, “hunch” sitting, “slouch” standing and lifting with a “spherical again” or stooped posture are continuously warned in opposition to. This view is extensively held by folks with and with out again ache, in addition to clinicians in each occupational well being and first care settings

Surprisingly, there’s a lack of proof for a powerful relationship between “good” posture and again ache. Perceptions of “good” posture originate from a mixture of social desirability and unfounded presumptions.

How to Saute without Oil (Dry Saute – NOT in water)

No water! No broth!
