Hal65 Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 I have a feeling it's not an expensive one. What is most popular at the cheap Thai restaurants? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayned Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 My wife's restaurant used the cheapest oil that she could find, brand/kind didn't matter, and also rendered pork fat. She would never use that oil at home and always used the yellow top one there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooked Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 The better restaurants sell their used oil which then gets recycled (with bleach) and resold to street vendors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cake Monster Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 If engine oil was acceptable and cheap enough, it would be used. At some of the roadside places, i think it could be, although I think the Thais use mainly cheap and unhealthy Palm Oil. A good helping of " Thai Salt " is then added ( MSG ) to give the street food cred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately it is sold and used in Australia, promoted as an ecologically sustainable product! What a load of crap - it is very high in saturated fats and therefore "unhealthy". A win for the greenies (and product promoters) perhaps but definitely not a win for healthy humanity. Labelling laws allow it to be sold as a vegetable oil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masuk Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 It's also very bad new for the bugs, butterflies, birds, primates, elephants that live in the forests. Where does an elephant go for shade when the trees are down? Look at the approaches to KL airport. Kilometre after km of palm oil trees. Borneo is becoming the same.

JHolmesJr Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Unrefined red palm oil is very nutrient rich….but I'm sure the thai places use the crappiest cheapest refined option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ronaldo0 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 (edited) Palm oil . That's why you get a funny taste ages after eating. Its not healthy , bad for the environment in the making due to land burning , but I assume grows rapidly so the profit is quicker to get . I try to use sunflower oil for thai cooking and olive oil for most other cooking that needs oil. Edited January 31, 2017 by ronaldo0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitcoinforever Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Each time you reuse an oil, it gets more and more destabilized until it decomposes. re-using cooking oil and/or grease is a somewhat common practice, it can pose some serious health hazards. so does not matter what they use they all reuse multiple times just the mindset. good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
performance Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 The cheapest possible normally soybean oil is considered luxury here. In fact it's not healthy. The best is Canola oil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn, now I just have to..and did, and yes it is disgusting. So back to palm oil then? All of a sudden that seems to be a very healthy choice.

Formaleins Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 (edited) 15W/40 from the last oil change from the pickup service centre. In fact Castrol is probably less likely to give you cancer than Palm Oil, probably more harmful than LARD!

About 30 years ago there was a case in Spain(if I didn't get the country wrong). that mix engine oil with cooking oil and sold them and quite a few people died. I believe they add a little engine oil to your sesame seed oil, so your sesame oil do look kind of thick. I wonder what engine oil does to your body. Do you pass them out in the stools? I try not to eat sesame oil and also seldom eat oily stuff at foodstalls. I once bought recycle oil unknowningly. I broke out in boils after consuming that re-cycle cooking oil. Just imagine how bad that oil is. I even use virgin olive oil for cooking now. Well, I never deep fried, only light stir fry. It tastes good. The oil look greenish because it's not processed at all. "Cold press" direct into the bottle. Edited January 31, 2017 by madusa to correct a letter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madusa Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 I did some research on "eating oil"- it's called "eating oil" to distinguish from any other oil. So eating oil could be vegetable oil, seeds oil, lard, etc.., Palm oil is now widely used because it is probably the cheapest eating oil on the market, i.e, compare to Sunflower oil, Peanut oil, Soyabean oil. It will remain widely use I believe until an alternative oil just as cheap and healthy could be found. The way we cook our foods show we are ignorant of the diseases caused by deep fried foods, sure deep fried foods taste wonderful and you get sort of addicted to it. Unless we change to healthy life style avoid deep fried and any oily foods this palm oil will be the choice of all foodstalls down the road. Blame your eating habit that support the cheap oil being used. Profit always the priority not your health, like your hair falling off in bunch.
