What to add to oil so that it does not “shoot” during frying: the problem is easily solved

When frying certain food products, a cook may encounter several problems.

One of them is the appearance of splashes. Thus, oil drops can start flying in all directions.

This happens due to low quality vegetable oil or too much moisture in the pan.

There is nothing good about the fact that a viscous liquid "shoots". Firstly, hot drops can get on the skin: there will be a burn.

Secondly, the oil will most likely end up on your stovetop, countertops, and cabinets. It will be quite difficult to remove the greasy and sticky layer from all of these surfaces.

To avoid all these difficulties, you need to ensure that splashes do not appear. To do this, you need to add something to the oil.

Life-saving supplement

Add a little table salt to the oil poured into the frying pan.

The salty viscous liquid does not “shoot” even when heated very strongly.

As a result, the surface of the kitchen furniture remains clean. The skin is also protected.

But you need to remember: if the cook has salted the butter, it is important not to overdo it with adding salt to the dish itself.
