Although it is advised to use less oil in the first place if you end up adding more, we bring you the best tips that will help you adjust and eliminate excess oil from your meals in this article.
Absorbent Paper Towels
Switch To Baking
Use Non-Stick Cookware
Another crucial thing to decrease oil consumption is to switch your old pans with non-stick cookware. This is simply because foods don’t stick on non-stick cookware so you need less oil and no excess greasing is required.
Take It Out With A Ladle
Sauté Using Water Or Broth
Traditionally, veggies are sautéed with a little oil to impart some flavour as well as smoothness to the dry vegetables. Even though the oil in this case isn’t used in excess you can still eliminate it if you want.
In place of oil, use water or broth to sauté the veggies. Water may not add any additional flavour but if you are using broth, it will impart a savoury flavour to the veggies and proteins without the added calories that come up with oil.
