New microwave frying method could make french fries much healthier
✦AI Summary
Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign are testing a microwave-assisted frying method to create healthier French fries. By combining microwave energy with traditional frying, the team aims to reduce oil absorption while maintaining the desired texture and flavor.
