Guest guest Posted July 1, 2001 Report Share Posted July 1, 2001 We use coconut oil - great for frying, contains a natural anti- viral. A little goes a long way. No smoking. I buy it by the case & share with others to cut the cost. I've found cold-pressed safflower oil in regular stores, and occasionally on sale. Re not-mcnuggets, I bake 'em instead of frying. I can't afford to load a deep fryer, so everything gets baked or tossed in the regular fry pan. Or baked, then quickly fried for extra crispiness and/or appearance.

For french fries I buy the Cascadian Farm ones at a HFS and bake them. on Long Island New York * ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!

The better the oil the better the results. olive oil has a high point of burning(I don't know if it sounds like that in english); which means thet it'll burn at higher temperatures than other oils, therefore it will give you better and healthier-most important-results. Now, personally, since I am not in Italy-poor me-I like corn oil for frying here, but I am thinking of switching myself, because I started doubting that my son maybe allergic to corn and soy as well, and I don't like the way other oils fry (stays too greasy). Good luck, olive oil is probably the best choice for us now as well. Cristina-WA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 1, 2001 Report Share Posted July 1, 2001 Joe, do you have a Costco near you? They have a much better price for safflower oil. They also have a good price for cold pressed light olive oil. I know my first bottle of safflower oil really shocked me. Then I found a better price at Raley's and even better at Costco. My husband complained about the olive oil but the safflower he accepted. I am working back on the olive oil again and he has not noticed it, yet. Maybe I have a better grade this time. I think the brand makes a difference in taste. Have you tried Oven frying? it is cheaper on the oil than the deep fryer. Betty ----- Original Message ----- > 's diet is still severely limited.
