[Post 727] Deep-Fried Food: How Many Times Can We Reuse Our Cooking Oil? | Talking Point | Full Episode





Summary

Who doesn’t enjoy crispy, golden deep-fried foods? But have you ever looked at the pot of oil it has been cooked it and wondered when was the last time it was changed? Recently, a Talking Point viewer wrote in to us with exactly this concern! He’s worried about how often cooking oil is reused in food establishments here in Singapore.

Join host Diana Ser, as she investigates how often hawkers and home cooks are changing their deep-frying oil and if it is in fact safe to consume food cooked in this oil. So she sends reused oils for a lab test and confronts hawkers with the shocking results. Could it be potentially dangerous to try to replace oil in a fryer full of hot deep-frying oil and is there a way to tell that food has been fried in oil used one too many times?
