During frying, food loses water and absorbs oil. This characteristic makes food more crisp, increases people's appetite and attracts people to eat more.
When frying food, the fat structure in oil changes and is absorbed by food, causing diseases such as arteriosclerosis and hyperglycemia. If fried foods are accompanied by high-sugar drinks and high-sodium foods, and lack of intake of fruits and vegetables, the impact on health will be even greater.

Clever measures to reduce the harm of fried food
1, using water decocting method.
Frying is better than frying. In frying, water frying is a healthier choice. Put a little oil in the bottom of the pot, fry it a little, then add water and steam the ingredients. After the water evaporates, a little oil will fry the bottom of the ingredients thoroughly. The cooked dish is crisp and soft on the bottom, fragrant on the outside and tender on the inside, does not contain too much oil and tastes good.
2, control the oil temperature
When frying, the temperature should be controlled at 160℃- 180℃. Too high oil temperature is not only easy to fry, but also easy to produce carcinogens. If there is a lot of smoke on the oil surface, or the food changes color too fast, it means that the temperature is too high.
3. Change the oil regularly
Many people are reluctant to reuse the oil used for frying food. However, oil used for frying for a long time will produce a lot of harmful substances. It is recommended to change the oil frequently. If the oil is not good, remove the impurities in the oil in time.
Don't let the oil boil for a long time.
When cooking oil is heated above 270℃, there will be a lot of benzopyrene in the oil fume, which will easily increase the risk of lung cancer after inhalation. Therefore, when cooking fried food, we must act quickly. Don't turn off the range hood after frying. It is best to keep the power on for about 10 minutes.
