When cooking cutlets, many people use vegetable oil, adding calories. But is it really impossible to fry cutlets without oil?
Many may think that this is the case, but there are several tricks that will allow you to fry cutlets without oil.
Expert of the online publication "BelNovosti" Yulia Arkhipova , a cook and fourth-class baker, told how to act in such a situation.
Uniformity is the key to success
One way to cook cutlets without oil is to choose the right temperature and maintain uniformity during the frying process.
You need to heat the frying pan over medium heat to a sufficient temperature and carefully place the cutlets on it.
It is important to maintain this temperature and turn the cutlets regularly to ensure even cooking.
How to keep it juicy
When it comes to keeping meat tender and juicy without using oil, it's important to remember to choose the right ingredients. It makes sense to choose meats with a high moisture content, such as pork or chicken.
This will provide the cutlets with the necessary juiciness and aroma even without adding fat during the cooking process. And if the meat is “dry” and not fatty enough, it will be extremely difficult to fry the cutlets.
The process needs to be controlled
It is important to monitor the frying process and not allow overheating. A simple example: if you allow overheating, the cutlet will simply start to burn or dry out.
Therefore, this method of preparation may only be suitable for those people who are ready to closely monitor the process.
Things to remember
It is possible to fry cutlets without oil. But here it is worth asking: what is the point? If you really don’t want to use oil, you can bake the cutlets in the oven or steam them. There are plenty of alternative methods, so in most cases it makes sense to be rational.
Earlier we told you how to boil eggs so that they definitely don’t burst.
