bkkjames Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 http://www.dietriot.com/fff/mcd/mcd.html French Fries: Potatoes, partially hydrogenated soybean oil, natural flavor (beef source), dextrose, sodium acid pyrophosphate (to preserve natural color). Cooked in partially hydrogenated vegetable oils, (may contain partially hydrogenated soybean oil and/or partially hydrogenated corn oil and/or partially hydrogenated canola oil and/or cottonseed oil and/or sunflower oil and/or corn oil). TBHQ and citric acid added to help preserve freshness.

BillR Posted December 22, 2009 Author Share Posted December 22, 2009 Reason I ask, Im looking for a good oil to fry french fries and chicken. Im currently using sunflower oil with great results, but it costs around 1000baht to replace every couple days. So if anyone can recommend a good (cheaper) frying oil to use for these applications it would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderpuff Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 I use Mazola Corn Oil. Soybean oil is not ideal. Palm oil = NEVER. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was reportedly a scandal in India a while back because of the beef flavoring... since many Indians can't eat beef for religious reasons. I believe McDonalds changed the recipe after that. Thailand may have similar religious restraints as India about the beef issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillR Posted December 22, 2009 Author Share Posted December 22, 2009 I use Mazola Corn Oil. Soybean oil is not ideal. Palm oil = NEVER. I have never seen corn oil in bulk at makro or supercheap or the like. Nor have I seen peanut or vegetable oil. seems like palm, soybean, sunflower, and a few other odd ones is all I can find.

sbk Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Makro carries soybean and rice brain oils in quantities of 5 liters. Never bought the bigger cans (10 liters I thnk) but suspect they have those in soybean and rice bran as well. Corn oil isn't really necessarily a better oil...
