my friend was talking about this and stated that water is wet and oil is dry. what does this mean?
In: Chemistry
Oil does not contain water. It’s actually hydrophobic, and water repells it.
When foods are cooked with water, the water can disolve parts of the food its in contact with. This is why some food gets soggy when boiled or cooked in water.
Food cooked in oil is normally crispy as a comparison.
