Where does oil that is ‘cooked away’ go?

271 views

We all have this experience of cooking something only to have to keep re-adding oil as it ‘cooks away’, but what actually happens to the oil? Is it absorbed by the food we’re cooking? Does it burn away? And specifically, what happens to the calories in the oil?

Soaked right into the food in your pan. You are eating it all.

Try a bbq instead, the oil drips off. Some bbq’s like the weber q series has a fine grille and a oval shaped drain area with a catch pan so you can even cook bacon on them without it bursting into flames.
