The temperature sulfur (from ingredients like garlic and onions) starts to make trans fats from your oil is 284 degrees F.

However, ingredients that have vitamin E in them greatly curtailed this trans fat creation.

You don’t want to burn garlic...

There goes fajitas...at least as far as the onions are concerned.

The wife and I rarely use any vegetable oil. High quality olive oil and a relatively low cooking temp is our norm.

Worse than that, it ruins the essence of their flavors. Especially the garlic.

[Seaplaner]

A lot of very nice folks just love onions and garlic.

Not moi.

They take over good and subtle flavors, and leave you with the same old onions and garlic.

Nonsense. Suddenly everything we do is deleterious.

Reminds me of the Blues Brothers car chase when the police dispatcher advises that “unnecessary use of force...has been authorized.”

these guys would to wet on your stir fry, or your italian sausage, peppers and onions!!

Try avocado oil for high temp.

The study revealed that sulfur compounds significantly promote heat-induced trans-isomerization of UFAs in vegetable oils, especially when cooking temperatures are above 140°C.

140 C = 284 F

I use peanut oil. I can’t cook without onions and garlic.

I was going g to say..garlic usually is sauteed not fried at high temps.

[Sacajaweau]

I agree...and every cooking show stresses it...

The post is really quite worthless.

[Erik Latranyi]

Do not believe this nonsense.

People have been cooking with onions and garlic for centuries.

[Bullish]

Quit, you’re making me hungry!
