The Banter Cafe

Errrrm,..this is a Cafe?

Cafe is a French word, so what does it all mean?

Deep fried is out, but light frying in a pan should be okay. It has something to do with high heat frying that creates carcinogenic compounds and kills vitamins and minerals.

So what do you have for healthy side orders?

A raw carrot to dip in your organic hummous?

It may be French word but I'm not and neither is my Caff, to use a common Brit pronunciation.

I am just trying to keep healthy.

"Frying eggs in oil, particularly at high temperatures, can lead to oxidation of cholesterol, potentially producing oxysterols, which some studies suggest may be linked to an increased risk of heart disease."

question. all oils?
what about avocado or olive oil?

Those two oils are used in high heat cooking, but I'm not sure if slow and low heat is okay or not, they didn't elaborate on the youtube video I watched. They did say eggs are healthier eaten hard boiled or poached in water.

AI:

"Frying eggs at excessively high temperatures in oil can create harmful compounds due to the oil's breakdown and oxidation. The smoke point, the temperature at which an oil begins to smoke and release potentially harmful compounds, varies for different oils. For example, extra virgin olive oil has a smoke point of 350-410°F (177-210°C), while canola oil is 400°F (204°C). Exceeding these smoke points can lead to the formation of free radicals and the destruction of valuable nutrients."

So it may be slow and low heat is okay?

Why didn't you use Caff in naming your Cafe so we know what we are getting into? LOL

I mostly use beef dripping, or lard.

I grow my own carrots so I'll pull up a few.

I'd best give them a quick wash to get the pesticide off. Found some good old DDT in the shed. Bloody carrot fly....

Yep. Should have realised there are pedantic types around.....

Not really, I have never heard of the term 'caff' before because I've never visited the U.K.

The word cafe, however, brings to mind French cuisine with cafe latte on the side.
