Frying with cold pressed oils is a game-changer for anyone seeking healthier, more flavourful dishes. Many assume cold pressed oils are only for dressings and salads, but the truth is, when used correctly, they can deliver crispy, golden perfection in fried foods. Let’s dive into the secrets of frying with cold pressed oils - and why it’s worth the switch.

What Makes Cold Pressed Oils Special for Frying?

Understanding why frying with cold pressed oils works starts with knowing what sets them apart:

• Unrefined & Chemical-Free: Cold pressed oils are extracted using gentle methods that preserve nutrients, antioxidants, and natural flavours. No chemicals, no high-heat processing.

• Rich in Monounsaturated Fats: This composition supports heart health and offers a more stable structure under moderate heat.

• Better Taste & Aroma: Cold pressed oils bring out natural flavours in food, enhancing everything from crispy pakoras to golden fries.
  
  

The Right Temperature is Key

Frying with cold pressed oils demands the right temperature control:

• Stick to Medium Heat: High smoke points aren’t the strength of most cold pressed oils. Medium heat (around 160–180°C) ensures the oil retains its nutrients and your food cooks perfectly.

• Watch for the Sizzle: The moment you see steady, gentle bubbling around your food, you’ve hit the ideal frying temperature.

• Avoid Overheating: Overheating breaks down delicate compounds in cold pressed oils, so monitor the heat to prevent burning.
