Cook
I fry a lot because it's easy. I heat some oil (sometimes with a little butter for added flavor) in a pan and add meat, veggies, or tofu and cook to deliciousness. However, I wonder about the health implications of cooking this way.
My questions are:
1. Are vegetable, peanut, canola, and olive oil bad for you? If not, do they become bad for you by frying them? Almost anything I use is cholesterol free, anyway.
2. Is it any better to "roast" these things in the oven? I roast veggies for variety sometimes. I just heat the oven to 325, sprinkle some olive oil on them, and cook them uncovered for 25-30 minutes. Is that any better? It's still heating oil, after all.
Thanks!
