WHICH FAT OR OIL?
The attributes of a good frying fat are the opposite of what you would expect.
Normal frying temperatures are in the range of 160-190 °C (320-374 °F). A good frying fat must have a minimum content of mono- and diglycerides which tend to decompose and produce smoke. It must also have minimum concentrations of unsaturated fatty acids which can react with oxygen and the water in raw foods to produce a wide range of undesirable compounds that can alter the flavor of the fried foods and can even produce toxic compounds such as malondialdehyde. Repeated frying with the same fat aggravates the situation.
