Why do you put oil in cooking?

The purpose of frying oil is to make the fried dishes more fragrant. Whether it is rapeseed oil, lard or peanut oil, there is a fragrance that can stimulate appetite and improve the taste of dishes. Generally speaking, frying in oil has three main advantages: first, it makes the fried dishes more fragrant. Second, it can prevent the pan from sticking after frying. Third, people can improve their physical fitness, increase their endurance and resist hunger after cooking oil.

People who have never lived in poverty will not experience these three factors, especially manual labor. If the fried vegetable oil is put down, the soup will be sparse, and you will soon be hungry when you are working, so especially those who have been doing manual labor for a long time, you should pay special attention to cooking and putting oil. Nowadays, in order to lose weight, many city people hate the sight of oil because they don't exercise all day.

My home is in the countryside. As a generation born after 1980s, my family was very poor at that time, especially in the 1990s. My family is poorer because the local oranges are unsalable. I have to sell some millet in the field to pay for my tuition. Every year until June, mung beans and potatoes are staple foods. I went out to work hungry in the morning and was half tired at noon. When I got home, I cooked a pot of green beans and potatoes, not to mention oiling them. Because green beans boiled potatoes, there was no oil or salt, so my mother grabbed two pickled radishes from the pickle jar and put them in. Because I was really hungry, I ate two bowls and drank a bowl of gruel, clear soup and thin water. After eating, my stomach feels uncomfortable. The locals here call this feeling: I am weak all over, and I am squatting on the ground just to spit. This kind of feeling, you can experience it if you want. I believe you will experience what it means to be widowed. Well, of course, fried potatoes are delicious with fried green beans. Now, every year on my mother's birthday, I order baked potatoes with mung beans in the restaurant.

If you don't eat oil for a long time, especially when you do manual work, you will soon be hungry. Therefore, in the past, when life was very difficult, no matter how poor you were, you would take out the bacon you didn't want to eat and fry it on the day of rice harvest. Otherwise, harvesting millet is really boring. After a few days of manual labor, you will understand what it is like to cook without oil. If you cook green beans and potatoes with clear water and don't vomit after eating, you won't feel uncomfortable, which means you really have high body fat.

Frying eggs to prevent sticking to the pan is the most obvious thing. Don't believe me, if you don't put oil in the pot, your eggs will stick to the bottom of the pot, and the bottom will be fried and the top will still be raw. Do not use a spatula. If you try, you will know that cooking without oil will stick to the pot. The solution is to drain the water. When there is no oil, you can only boil it in water. You must choose between draining water and discharging oil.

This is the three functions of frying oil that I summarized: First, it makes the fried dishes fragrant. Second, it can prevent the pan from sticking after frying. Third, people can improve their physical fitness, increase their endurance and resist hunger after cooking oil.
