Trying to cook with less oil / myLot

May 6, 2021 11:45pm CST

I cook everyday and almost everyday, oil is used. Though I only use small amount of oil but will it be better if I seldom use it? For the second day in a row, I did not use oil. It is hard to think of meals sometimes that don't use oil. Though we have grilling and stewing but we cannot eat the same food or dish throughout the month. Do you often use oil for cooking?

I use but very little. I always measure with a spoon. All the food I cook have little oil. Some are only boiled

I have been using a one calorie spray oil and I refill the spray can with olive oil.

I use it when I cook, but it depends on what I cook.

I use around 5kg of cooking oil a month. Maybe a bit more or less. That's the huge bottle that I would usually buy.

Not always, if I grill or steam food I do not need to use oil or butter.

We don't use a lot of oil - no deep frying - but yes we do use olive or rape-seed oil or butter. Even things like stews often require a bit of browning of the ingredients first. But anyway - oil is part of a varied diet, olive oil (and others) have been shown to have many benefits and the low-fat diets that have been promoted for so many years now have certainly not led to reduced obesity and better health!

@Janet357 When I use the frying pan to make things I put oil in it.
