I started to read more about fried food and got all these important notes… I got frightened when I read news that happened in Taiwan and China about evil merchants reproducing gutter oils for commercial/restaurant use. Totally a big turn off 360 on the street food which I am totally looking forward to if I am there. Imagine the hawkers reusing the oil over and over again? Anyway, I still love my cheese popcorn chicken paired with my milk tea from Ubi and my ever sinful cravings of Ruffles cheddar and sour Cream potato chips. They are my happy food. It really is not about refraining from eating any fried food but limiting it to a luxury treat or say, once a fortnight kind of consumption. Kudos to the inventors of Air Fryers. Love max.
Facts about Fried Food:
- Contains trans fats. (Restaurants love trans fats as it raises the flash points and allow them to use the oil over and over again)
- Don't break down properly and would remain in the liver, kidney, intestine, prostate and colon for a long time.
- Clog arteries and veins (causes heart attacks, aneurysms, strokes and Alzeimer's).
- Avoid Canola oil (rapeseed oil) as it is a GMO product in US (genetically modified to contain pesticides)It can deprive cells of oxygen, causing emphysema and respiratory distress, may lead to cancer outbreaks. Corn oil as well.
- Potatoes and most bread soak up canola oil and turn it to sugar in the stomach.
- Sugar and carbs feed infection.
- Avoid breading or battering of food as it soaks up the oil.
- The hotter is the oil, the more oil food will absorb.
Q: Can oil be reused for frying?
A: Yes.
Q: When to change the oil after reusing?
A: Change the oil when oil starts to enter food rapidly (i.e. less hydrophobic). Instead of frying it to be crispy, it becomes greasy and lose the crispiness. Change when foam is formed on the oil.
