Where does oil that is ‘cooked away’ go?

269 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?

Some of the oil gets absorbed by the food and some of it evaporates away. You can see the evaporated oil as a buildup on your exhaust as it gets sticky overtime.
