What do you use when you fry things?!


Question:

What do you use when you fry things?

Like eggs, for example, scrambled or omelettes: oil? Margarine? Butter? Other?


Answers:
try spray oil cans..

most of them are healthy, easy to use and minimum or no wastage

Usually oil, i prefer canola because it has lower cholesterol.

veg oil

For eggs, I use a little canola with a little butter. I've also used oil spray and it works well, too, for sticking. But for flavor, canola and a little butter. For browning, I use a little olive oil or canola oil with a little butter. To saute veggies, I just use olive oil.

I prefer to use a frying pan :-)

Eggs I like to use a little butter because I prefer that taste to oils and Margarine is supposed to be worse then butter.

i use sesame oil alot also olive oil

cooking spray Pam

i use pam, or oil, pam works really good though.........

I use olive oil for almost everything, vegetables, eggs, whatever, because it's supposed to be healthier for you ('good fat' and all that). Sometimes like for quesadillas, I'll use margarine, for taste and it doesn't burn as easy as butter (and I tend to burn things).
Flavored olive oils are nice too, like garlic flavor.

scrambled -margarine
omelette's - pan spray

Well, I don't fry stuff at home. If I do need a little oil, I usually use olive oil. When I make eggs, I only scramble them and I use the squeeze margarine, but just a little swirl in a nonstick pan will do.

oil but other people use other thing i don't know what they use exactly

I like to use peanut oil because it doesn't burn and it doesn't leave any kind of taste on the food or in the air.

If you like to flavor of butter but don;t like the way it burns, cook with half butter and half oil.

olive or vegetable oils

for eggs I use very little butter....a little

pam

It depends. I usually use vegetable oil. Other times I use margarine, for instance when frying bread.

I usually use butter when I cook eggs.

I cant believe is not butter for the moist and flavor.

butter and veg. oil

For frying eggs like you have mentioned, I would put alittle oil and also add a little butter. I also tried the spray "pam" that they have out but i'de rather the oil and/or butter. bettyk

it really depends on what you are cooking. oils with greater viscosity (meaning they less fluid) are more stable at high temperatures and do not burn as quickly, there type of oils are very good for multiple batches and foods that take longer to fry, like meat. Vegetable oil, canola, and peanut oil are great for this. Whereas olive oil is better for cooking eggs and is much more healthy since it's not so hydrogenated. Avoid butter as much as possible, it adds great texture and consistency to dishes but at a big price, since the entire thing is saturated fat.
