Perhaps this should go in Hexus.Active rather than here but it applies to both.
In my never-ending quest to live a healthier lifestyle, one of the sacrifices that I had made was to virtually eliminate all fried food from my diet. This wasn't very satisfactory as I do like the ocassional fry-up.
However, frying with traditional cooking oil is inherently unhealthy. Hence, I bought a can of 'Fry Light' extra virgin olive oil spray. It looks just like an air freshener spray can!
You simply spray a cool frying pan 4 times with the spray oil an then heat it up to operating temperature before frying your food. It's exceptionally economical compared to traditional cooking oil. There's not oil splatter so cleaning up afterwards is a breeze. But the best bit is that it only adds around 1-4 calories to your food! I've fried eggs with it so far and there is no discernible difference to the taste from traditional olive oil either.
All in all, highly recommended if you want a significantly healthier and mess-free way of frying food. The oil is mixed with alcohol in the can to help preserve it but this should vapourise as soon as you heat the frying pan up if you're worried about alcohol getting in your food.
