healthiest oil

[johny_45]

Hey guys and gals

I have a question. For frying meats like chicken and beef what is the best cooking oil to use? as far as health/fats go

The reason i ask is that i find that when i grill meats they tend to be to dry and for me very hard to swallow. Gets to the point that sometimes i gag.

any tips on ingredients i could use would be great

Sounds to me like you're overcooking your meat when you grill it. Grilled meat should not be dry at all. Pick yourself up a copy of "How to Grill" by Steven Raichlen. Best grilling book IMO. That said I tend to use peanut or canola for frying if you mean deep frying. For pan frying I use Olive Oil. Again though, no reason you can't have juicy food off of your grill!

cook with evoo it works great.

i make fried chicken breast probably 5 times per wk. i bread the chicken with 50% oat flower and 50% whole wheat flower mixed with a little ms dash and fry in evoo

what is evoo?

Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

Joe D.. That sounds good, im going to try that.

 

[johny_45]

i know extra virgin olive oil is a good one but was sort of looking for an alternative as i have gone off it a little (tastewise)

that oat flower and wheat flower does sound good

You could try grape seed oil. It's expensive though.

 

[Gawd]

Sesame Oil is good for a change.

whats better for frying grape seed or evoo? ceo told me grape seed would be better because it doesnt burn as easily...

Grape seed has a higher smoke point than EVOO. Check here for a list of various oils burn points.
