I’ve seen a lot of people trying to cook without oil for dietary reason and it made me wonder, what would happen if we cooked food in an “indigestible” fat like wax? Of course wax is only an example, I’m thinking of a fat that is not absorbed by the human body and doesn’t produced any nasties when cooked.

i believe olestra was used for this same idea, it’s very similar to typical digestible fats, similar mouthfeel for example, but it’s too large to be absorbed by the intestinal walls and instead passes through the digestive tract without adding calories. however, the fact that this fat is indigents means your stool is much fattier than usual, leading to abdominal pain, loose stools, and anal leakage
