Tip On How To Cook Your French Fries Safely!

November 10, 2006

124541481.jpgWe know the story of french fries…but I myself am guilty of indulging in it once in a  blue moon.  Kids just love the sight of it!  So how can we make our french fries healthier especially if we cook them ourselves.  One study has showed us the way….

Precooking your French fries in the microwave before you fry them reduces levels of a suspected cancer-causing substance called acrylamide“.

Apparently…deep frying the french fries can lead to the formation of a substance called acrylamide. The US FDA Fact Sheet states that ” Acrylamide has been shown to cause cancer in animals in studies where they were exposed to the chemical at very high doses.  Acrylamide has also been shown to cause nerve damage in people who have been exposed to very high levels at work. ” Apparently the FDA still has to make a determination as to how levels of this substance can have an impact on public health and is formulating an action plan on this matter.

But one study published in the Journal of Science of Food and Agriculture, found that by the simple technique of microwaving French fries before frying can not only reduce frying time but in turn, can cut down the formation of acrylamide. By microwaving at 190 degrees cut down acrylamide formation by as much as 60%.

This information is also new to me.  As this health issue is evolving.. I will be updating my post.  This indeed has a major public health impact as this now relates to our way of cooking things especially frying.

So The Next Time You Ask For French Fries…

Think Again!

    I do hope that we have a government agency who could regulate the preparation of french fries; order the fast food chains to microwave their french fries before frying them.

    Thanks for your article. It is very unfortunate that over the last several years, the travel industry has already been able to to fight terrorism, SARS, tsunamis, bird flu virus, swine flu, and also the first ever entire global tough economy. Through it the industry has really proven to be robust, resilient and also dynamic, discovering new solutions to deal with trouble. There are generally fresh issues and the possiblility to which the market must just as before adapt and act in response.

  7. Howdy excellent blog! Does running a blog such as this take a great deal of work?

    I have very little expertise in coding however I
    had been hoping to start my own blog in the near future. Anyways, should you have any recommendations or tips for
    new blog owners please share. I understand this is off topic but I simply needed to
    ask. Appreciate it!
