Cooking Spray Vs Cooking Oil


Oil is an integral part of cooking especially the Indian cuisine. Although only little amount of oil is advised to cook food and to maintain sound health, we often tend to go overboard with its usage. Nowadays the concept of Cooking Spray seems to be catching on amongst the health and fitness freaks of all age groups alike



Health

Many cooking spray bottles/cans claim to have no calorie or fat content. This is because the oil is equally spread on the pan while cooking due to its dispensing mechanism used in the bottle. On the other hand, cooking oil can be high in the unhealthy saturated fat content and the amount of oil you consume daily is high.

Difference in taste

Cooking spray is much more feasible when it comes to making omelet, baking, grilling etc but when it comes to preparing a complete meal it can lag behind in terms of taste, making the dish less palatable. This is where the Cooking oil comes to your rescue.

Side effects due to over heating

The main drawback with Cooking Oil is, certain conventional oils like Coconut, when heated above a certain temperature can be release complex toxic compounds and can prove hazardous to health. This however, is not the case with Cooking Sprays as a single spray hardly contains any calories. Still if cooking spray not used properly can be same to the number of calories you consume daily

How to select a cooking spray

The best way to select a cooking spray is to go for one which is organic such as Olive, Rice Bran etc.  Always check the label to make sure that it is devoid of any propellants, hydrocarbons etc.

So, it is safe to say that Cooking Sprays can be used without any hesitation if you wish for a healthy and balanced lifestyle and at the cost of slightly compromising on your taste buds. I have come across RAY COOKING SPRAY which is an innovative product that contains No propellants and No preservatives.
