There is no denying that deep-frying or simple frying is not the healthiest way to cook.
You must be careful about using oil in your food as the oil we use has a great impact on our health.
You should know what oil to use while frying food and make a good choice of oil while cooking food to stay healthy.
If you deep-fry foods then extra light olive oil and sunflower oil are great options to use as they have a high smoke point and heart-healthy unsaturated fats.
Always consider the smoke point as it needed in an oil. The smoke point is the temperature at which an oil starts to break down and provide toxic compounds, which you want to avoid. If you will choose an oil with a high smoke point then it will let you cook at a higher temperature safely and the food will absorb less oil.
You should use coconut oil as it maintains its quality even after cooking it for eight hours and 365 degrees F. If you are not fond of coconut oil then you can use lard, ghee, drippings and tallow.
Don’t reuse frying oil or keep it at high temperatures for a long period of time as it will form unhealthy free radicals and trans fats.
