Frying and stewing are very common types of cooking.

Therefore, it is worth knowing how to choose the right oil.

It is worth noting that it is better not to take unrefined options: they have a low smoke point. In this case, carcinogenic substances may form during heat treatment, reminds the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti" on culinary issues, chef Yulia Arkhipova .

What are the 3 best frying oils?

Sunflower

Many people have started to avoid sunflower oil, considering it harmful. But this is a misconception. The smoke point of sunflower oil exceeds 200 degrees.

This means that this type of oil is safe not only for classic frying, but also for deep frying.

Olive

For frying, it is again worth choosing only refined oil. But it is worth understanding that there will be no particular benefit when frying.

However, an important feature is the absence of harm to health.

If the oil is of incredibly high quality, then it is even possible that a pleasant flavor will appear.

Coconut

There is an opinion that this type of oil can be dangerous for health, but this is also not entirely true. Coconut oil is quite a healthy option.

You can also use it in home cosmetic procedures.
