There is no such thing as "fat free" oil. But there are healthier oils. Try to look for ones that are unsaturated or have a healthy type of oil. Cooking at high temperatures can damage oils. The more omega 3 fatty acids in the oil, the less suitable it is for cooking. The heat not only damages the fatty acids, it can also change them into harmful substances. Hydrogenated oils are often used for cooking. Because these oil have already been "damaged" by chemical processing, they are less likely to be further damaged by heat. The oils that are higher in saturated fats or monounsaturates are the most stable when heated. These include peanut oil and olive oil. The more fragile oils are best used at room temperature, like salad dressings. To preserve the nutritious properties and the flavor of unrefined oils, try the "wet-sauté," a technique that is practiced by gourmet chefs. Pour around one-fourth of a cup of water in the stirfry pan and heat just below boiling. Then add the food and cook it a bit before adding the oil. Wet-sauté shortens the time an oil is in contact with a hot pan. Stir frequently to further reduce the time the oil is in contact with the hot metal. Never heat oils to the smoking point, as this not only damages their fatty acid content, but also their taste. Best cooking oils and fats are: butter, peanut oil, high oleic sunflower oil, high oleic safflower oil, sesame oil, and olive oil.

Using cooking spray is a great way to cut the fat in cooking. To make your own: buy a new plant mister. Wash it thoroughly before using. Add two tablespoons of canola oil followed by 1 cup less two tablespoons of water. Create an olive oil spray, too. Use these sprays the same way you would use commercial cooking sprays. Just make sure you shake it before each use
