Where does oil that is ‘cooked away’ go?

267 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?

Yes, it gets absorbed by the food. Cooking oil doesn’t evaporate. Since it gets absorbed, the calories get added to the food’s calories.
