New microwave frying technique could make french fries much healthier


Scientists have discovered a way to make French fries less greasy without ruining their taste. By combining regular frying with microwave heating, they reduce the amount of oil absorbed during cooking. The key lies in pressure inside the food—microwaves help push oil out instead of letting it seep in. The result: faster cooking, lower fat, and fries that can still stay crispy.
