Q: mike sometimes i cook my food using sunflower oil firstly are they healthy , i dont use much maybe 1 or 2 teaspoon and after i fry my dish i usually would place a paper towel so that it drains the oil is that a way to get rid some of the oil you used for cooking

A: Sunflower oil is quite healthy but cooking with it (or any other plant-based polyunsaturated oil) is not the best idea. What happens to polyunsaturated oils at high temperature (such as during cooking) is they turn into those evil trans fats that you probably heard of. A somewhat better choice for cooking is olive oil which is monounsaturated and tends to oxidize somewhat less at high temperatures. A still better choice for cooking, in my opinion, is plain old natural butter! It is mainly saturated fats which tend to oxidize still less.

In any case using paper towel like you do will help eliminate a bit of the unwanted oil. Other things you can do is fry at as low temperature as possible and, of course, use as little oil as possible.
