Does anyone know what type of oil mcdonalds in thailand uses for frying? I checked their site to no avail. Soybean? Palm?

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. Dimethylpolysiloxane added as an anti-foaming agent

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.

Ever wonder why the french fries takes exactly the same here as there? same ingredients and cooking methods.

I use Mazola Corn Oil. Soybean oil is not ideal. Palm oil = NEVER.

Not too sure about that.

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.

haha good point, for all I know they could be use WD40 here.

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.

Yeah I guess Phuket is a foreign country. Carrefor carry Mazola. ditto TOPS.

Not if you try Google.co.th - or in fry oil, or in french fries.

Anyway, it wasn't that many years ago that Maccer's fries in the US were fried in beef tallow.

I highly doubt in multi-liter qty's

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...
