Frying at Christmas? Be careful not to fry in harmful frying oil!
VRT News made an excellent post about harmful frying oil and we fully agree with that 1 in 5 households actually fry in harmful frying fat. Are you planing to make some Belgian Fries make sure to read the article.To summarize:
- The biggest problem appears to be the temperature: it should never exceed 175 ° C. When heating above 175 ° C trans fatty acids are formed, which can be hazardous to health.
- Secondly, replace the fat after a maximum of 10 baking cycles.
So don't fry too hot and replace the frying oil/fat on time!
