Why the Cheapest Frying Oil May Not be the Best

Why Your Restaurant Should Choose Quality Over Cost

The price of frying oils can vary depending on a number of factors, including the type of oil, where it is sourced, and the quantity you are purchasing. Some types of oil, such as vegetable oil, can be relatively inexpensive compared to other options. However, it's important to keep in mind that the cheapest oil may not always be the best choice. Factors such as the smoke point, flavor, and nutritional content of the oil should also be considered when choosing a frying oil.

What to Consider When Purchasing Frying Oil

Here are a few factors to consider when choosing a frying oil:

  1. Smoke point: The smoke point is the temperature at which an oil starts to break down and produce smoke. Oils with higher smoke points are better for high-heat cooking methods like frying, as they are less likely to break down and become rancid.

  2. Flavor: Different oils have different flavors, which can be imparted onto the food during cooking. Consider the flavor of the oil and whether it will complement the flavor of the food you are cooking.

  3. Nutritional content: Some oils are higher in healthy fats, such as monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, while others are higher in unhealthy fats, such as saturated and trans fats. Choose an oil that is lower in unhealthy fats and higher in healthy fats.

It's also worth noting that using the same oil repeatedly for deep frying can lead to the buildup of unhealthy compounds. To reduce the formation of these compounds, it's recommended to filter the oil after each use and replace it regularly.

FreshFry Pods are a great way to remove unwanted impurities and make your oil last longer. This way you can purchase a higher quality oil and get the most use out of it so you're still saving money in the long run while keeping the quality of your food.
