Was i supposed to put vegetable oil in stire fry in a pan to cook it?
Peanut oil is a favorite cooking oil, especially in stir-fries. Since it is relatively high in saturated fats, which do not turn into trans fatty acids when heated to normal cooking temperatures, it is more useful as a cooking oil than oils that are lower in saturates and higher in omega 3 fatty acids. For those allergic to peanuts, and to preserve the nutritious properties and the flavor of unrefined oils, try the “wet-sauté,” a technique that is practiced by gourmet chefs. Pour around one-fourth of a cup of water in the stirfry pan and heat just below boiling. Then add the food and cook it a bit before adding the oil. Wet-sauté shortens the time an oil is in contact with a hot pan. Stir frequently to further reduce the time the oil is in contact with the hot metal. Never heat oils to the smoking point, as this not only damages their fatty acid content, but also their taste. Best cooking oils and fats are: butter, peanut oil, high oleic sunflower oil, high oleic safflower oil, sesame
