Why does frying food make it unhealthy?
In: Other
When you fry food you’re cooking food in a liquid greater than the boiling point of water AND in a highly conductive environment of a liquid. (So even though an oven is 200C+ air is not a good conductor of heat.)
This temperature means that the water in the food starts to boil and pushes out from the food. This stops the item you’re frying from just becoming a big pile of oil.
So food that’s fried can have not as much oil that you would think it would.
