Use High-Quality Non-Stick or Cast Iron Pans
Investing in a good-quality non-stick pan or a cast-iron skillet means you can reduce the amount of oil you use or even cook oil-free! Your food will still fry beautifully without burning or sticking to the pan.
Use Liquids
Before adding your ingredients to the pan, try adding a few drops of water, wine, fruit juice, broth, or vegetable cooking water. This simple trick will make frying easier and add a delicious flavor to your dish.
Use Non-Stick Spray
– If you want to fry without oil, you can use a non-stick spray as a healthy alternative. This spray has very few calories, so you don’t have to worry about adding extra calories to your meal.
– Simply spray the pan after placing it on the stove and add your food for convenient frying without the risk of sticking or burning.
Use Vegetable Butter
Another alternative to oil is vegetable butter. Adding a small amount to your hot pan will help with the frying process and give your food an appealing aroma.
Bake Instead of Frying
– If you’re set on using oil but want to avoid it, why not turn your fried dish into a baked one?
– Place your ingredients on a baking tray, sprinkle a little water on top, and cover with aluminum foil. Then, put the tray in the oven and select the appropriate temperature and baking time. Your food will be cooked to perfection without sticking or drying out.
