Which is Better Cooking Spray or Oil?

We all use cooking oil or spray oil to cook our food, but have you ever wondered which one is healthier for you and your family? There are so many of them out there to choose from. On top of that, you need to take into consideration how it is processed.

 

Many things we use can cause inflammation to our bodies and even the simplest things we use to prepare our food can be a contributor.

Cooking with spray oil is considered much more healthy than cooking oil because you use less due to it being more of a mist than a liquid, and they say a little goes a long way. That is why it makes it healthier to use the cooking spray.

As for the cooking oil in a bottle we tend to pour more in the food we are preparing, which adding too much may give it flavor but we start to get pleasantly plump in the process. Which starts to affect the heart and arteries.

With that said, there are some things to take into consideration when deciding which you are going to use.

For example, when you buy your cooking oil you have to consider the shelf life of the cooking oil. Some tend to get rancid after a while. If you overheat the cooking oil it changes the characteristics and it is not very healthy after that.

Spray cooking oil is considered healthy because you use less and can spray oil on many things with it, but the only thing about the spray oil is that if you are too close to a flame it may explode.

So,  you need to keep it from the flame.

Do not be fooled about the spray can oil, for every second you leave your finger on the button you get 7 whole calories. This doesn’t sound bad but if you use the whole spray can of oil it adds up to 1000 calories.

So, for the cooking oils, it is best to use oil sprays in moderation and also check for the temperature limit. Don’t go over the heat limit because then it becomes dangerous to consume.

Spray can oil are good, but the only thing is to spray away from the flame especially around the barbeque.

Using cooking oil in moderation is always healthy.

Now that all that has been said, it is time to get down to some heavy cooking.

The holidays are upon us and it is time for some holiday cheer with cookies and tamales and the whole enchilada. So, take out the pots and pans and let the festivities begin.

Nothing makes me happier than family and friends getting together, each making their special dish and desserts, or trading off recipes.

Seeing those big smiles, smelling the goodies as you walk into the kitchen in anticipation, sneaking a taste when you think no one is watching, asking if they need any help preparing the food to get it out to the table as fast as they can to sit down to eat dinner.
