We fry a lot of food. In fact most dinners are fried in some way. I'm not talking deep-frying (wouldn't know how) - more bit of olive oil to which veg and meat are added to create whatever (stir fry, a chunky sauce for pasta, a veg and bean mix, omelette, eggy bread for the kids, pancakes etc).
I only ever get round to making dinner 20 minutes in advance so the oven is barely used, except to grill fish.
Anyway, I'm feeling bad about the frying. I have a vague memory that something happens when heating oil to high temperatures than makes it worse for you than, say, adding it to salad or drizzling it on fish or pizza in the oven. Is there anything in this? Or is it just the quantity of oil you consume that matters?
(am I making sense??)
