Five Tips for Healthy Oil Use

I quickly used half of the newly purchased bucket of peanut oil because I needed to fry 1 pound of chicken wings.

"It's not that you spend money to buy it, right?" My roommate was very dissatisfied with my behavior and felt that eating too much fried food was unhealthy. The key point is that it wastes oil. Every drop of oil is White money.

Has anyone encountered such confusion? Every time you fry, you need to pour a lot of oil, and the oil cannot be re-fried multiple times. It would be a pity to waste the remaining oil.

In fact, there are ways to make fried food at home, and if you use them correctly, you can save fuel.

1. Choose a pot. A frying pan consumes more oil than a deep pot, so a small milk pan is a must-have at home for frying small amounts of food.

2. Oil also has a smoke point. Choose oil with a high smoke point. Lard is the fastest and most fragrant for frying, but lard extraction also requires one more process, so peanut oil is still simple and unpretentious. It’s the best ~ Don’t choose corn oil, it has a low smoke point and is not suitable for long-term high-temperature cooking. Rapeseed oil gt; Coconut oil gt; Peanut oil gt; Corn oil~

3. Can the oil left over from frying be used?

First of all, edible oil cannot be heated repeatedly, which will speed up the rancidity of the oil, make it taste bad and contain carcinogens.

If you don’t want to waste the oil that has been fried once, let it stand, use a filter to filter out impurities, and put the remaining oil into a sealed dark container to avoid light.

However, do not continue frying at high temperatures with the remaining oil. It can be used to mix noodles, scald vegetables, and stir stuffings. It is healthy and safe to eat.

4. Chopsticks are indispensable when using oil.

The oil that does not bubble when you put the chopsticks into the pot is warm, suitable for frying peanuts and other nuts.

If the chopsticks start to make small bubbles, it is hot oil. If it is 60-80% hot, you can fry meat, tempura and other foods.

There is also a type of fried oil, which keeps making big bubbles with the chopsticks, and is more suitable for re-fried delicacies, such as tenderloin.

Fierce oil is usually used to pour a layer of hot oil on freshly baked shrimps and fish with pickled vegetables. It is hot and fragrant.

5. Tips for frying: Vegetable first and then meat, dry first and then wet, and fry the flavorful ones last. If it is easily collapsed by oil, add a spoonful of salt.

Finally, I recommend a recipe: fried small fresh mushrooms. Super crispy and delicious small mushrooms, just use fresh mushrooms. People who are losing weight can also eat some~

Ingredients preparation: half a catty of small fresh mushrooms, 2 eggs, a little salt, a small amount of flour spoon, a small spoonful of starch, an appropriate amount of salt, pepper and chili powder.

3. Begin to hang the mushrooms with paste, and place them on oil paper after hanging them once.

4. Frying process: Heat the oil to 50% heat for the first time, fry until it is set, and then remove it. Re-fry for the second time, when the oil temperature reaches 70-80% hot, return to the pan and fry again until golden brown.
