What do you do if a dog eats cooking oil?
Depends on how much cooking oil the dog ate. The other day my dog came in with a sulky face - one look at her and I knew she had done something. I ran into the kitchen and saw that the container of cooking oil I had forgotten on the counter was almost empty. She had polished off almost 100 ml before she realized it wasn’t tasting good enough for her. We waited for the inevitable runs, but there weren’t any. Looks like she was able to assimilate the fat without any problem.If the amount is moderate, then maybe you won’t see any effects at all, if you’re lucky. If she drank like a liter of it, I suggest you take her to the vet. Or buy diapers.
How do you cook and eat a ton of Indian Food without Smelling like it?
Air out your apartment when you cook indian foods even if you have to put on an old winter coat to get things started in winter, Another thing if you are going to burn garlic in oil for curry make a lot of oil in one go. so as not to have to do it every day or for months. Burnt garlic oil keeps for a long time if stored properly. Cook then shower and wash hair. Use Lysol and Oust in unison for a cleaner smelling apartment, one does one thing, the other does what the first one does not do. Also use a mixture of clorox and water on hard floors or Mr. Clean, the walls also have a way of getting covered with oil droplets full of what you cooked scent. Set aside a time to wipe them down at least once a month with a solution of vinegar and soapy water. I pray you do not have carpet. If you do you will have to block off the kitchen from the rest of the house close the doors and stuff a towel that has been sprayed with an deodorizer under the connecting doors. if you have a balcony that you can access you may save your self all of this trouble. I have a garage so when it is cold I cook in the garage because I can leave it open during and after I have cooked, but I would never cook curry and related inside the house in winter my house is fully carpeted. You may need to change your shampoo and bath soap if this becomes a problem and add a lot of water to your daily diet. Neem and tulsi (Chandrika) soap is good for body and you could possibly shampoo your hair twice and leave shampoo a bit longer before you wash it off each time.
Im allergic to Peanuts (peanut butter, etc.), Can I eat food cooked in Peanut oil?
In theory, yes you can. The part of the peanut we are allergic to is carried on the protein. If the oil is refined properly, all impurities (proteins) are removed, so the allergen is also removed. So, yes, it is possible. In practice, there are different standards of refining and the fact that it's very very hard to completely remove every trace of the peanut protein - some oils might be so refined that they have no detectable proteins, some are considerably less refined than that. It comes down to how strong your exposure needs to be in order to activate your allergic response and then finding a balance. Obviously, the oil they use is refined enough that your immune system isn't picking up the peanut proteins. I wouldn't consider peanut oil in general to be risk free, though, because you could easily come across one that's less refined. The possible problem is that you could still be getting sensitized, even if you don't have a reaction (not sure on this, but I think it's possible). You know how each reaction is slightly worse than the one before? You may not be having reactions, but you might still be getting sensitized, which means that you could have a reaction to their peanut oil one day.
Can shortening be eaten without cooking it?
Thank you all very, very much, it's a relief to know that I'm not eating raw food. I made the dessert a couple of days ago, even when it's supposed to be a Xmas treat. And yes, I almost only used shortening and sugar for the cream, although I added melted chocolate, instant coffee and Bailey for flavour
