To avoid buying dirty cooking oils, consumers should note the following characteristics: Cooking oil is golden brown, dark yellow Real cooking oil is usually brighter in color. If it is rapeseed oil, it will have a slight greenish yellow color, peanut oil will have a slight orange or yellow orange color. Fake cooking oil is usually dark in color, not bright but slightly dull. The usual color is golden brown, dark yellow, slightly black. Edible oil with sediment Real cooking oil has high transparency, no signs of solidification. When shaking the oil can, the oil feels smoother and easier to spread. However, fake cooking oil contains many impurities, different chemicals, so it is at the bottom of the bottle or it is deposited, solidified, the lower it is, the thicker it becomes. If you shake it gently, you will see that the oil flows smoothly, not smoothly. Cooking oil has a strange taste Real cooking oil has a greasy, characteristic aroma. If it is a specially extracted cooking oil such as peanut oil, rapeseed oil, etc., you will see its own flavor. When tasted, there is no sour or bitter taste. Fake cooking oil does not taste greasy and fragrant like real cooking oil. When tasting, there may be strange tastes due to adulterated oils or chemicals. Oil has a strange smell If you don’t want to taste it, you can also test the smell with your sense of smell. You just need to pour a little oil on the palm of your hand and smell it. Counterfeit cooking oil will have a bad smell, acrid, burnt or rancid, unpleasant. Because they contain too many impurities and are not carefully filtered, when put into plastic bottles, they will quickly react to create a burning smell like burnt plastic. In addition to distinguishing cooking oil by observing and tasting, housewives can also distinguish real cooking oil from fake by the following: – Take a small amount of iodized water into the bowl of cooking oil, if the blue color appears, it means that the cooking oil has been mixed with impurities containing starch. – Heat cooking oil to 150 degrees Celsius and then let it cool. If the oil has deposits, the oil has been adulterated. The more oil settles, the more impurities it shows.

1. Ground meat Instead of wasting time chopping, many women after work often stop by the market to buy some pre-ground meat to process quickly and conveniently. Everyone thinks that the ground meat outside the store looks so red and fresh, how can it be silly. But in fact, that’s just the real feeling, you don’t know what they include in it. Maybe it’s made from a lot of shredded meat, fat, part of the animal, even rotten or rancid meat… that you can’t predict. So to be sure, the sisters do not want to buy cheap ground meat from the market, lest it harm the whole family. 2. Pig’s heart If you ask 10 people, 8 people will love old pig’s intestines because of the delicious taste. However, the old intestine of pigs is where the animals defecate, so they are often infected with many bacteria. If not properly cleaned, they will affect human digestion when eaten. In restaurants, due to limited time, this part is not carefully processed. They “shortcut” by using some deodorant chemicals, all kinds of spices to cover the smell. So, if you like to eat this dish, you should buy it and cook it yourself, but it’s bad luck in the store. 3. Duck head People quizzes who can ignore this duck head dish. The duck head is fragrant, the brain is sweet, crispy and soft to eat. However, ducks are animals that like to eat dirt and eat food on the ground, so their heads accumulate a lot of heavy metals, even filled with worms. So if you do not know how to prepare, the duck head is very dirty. Like an old pig’s heart, the time in the queue is limited, so the preliminary processing is often omitted, so no one can guarantee that the duck head is both delicious and clean “offering” for you to enjoy. So if you are still passionate, you should buy it yourself and prepare it for safety. 4. Ready-made braised meat, spring rolls or spring rolls Many women are too busy or simply … lazy, so they often buy braised meat, spring rolls or rolls available from the store to enjoy.
