Olive oil is healthy, as is Canola oil. Make sure when you fry/cook food in oil that you put then on a paper towel (after they are done) to absorb the oil that you just cooked them in. Also, you can try baking or broiling instead of frying if you're worried about the grease. Good luck.

If you are pan frying, you can just use a little water. If sticking is a corncern lightly coat the pan with oil first (cooking spray, olive oil or canola oil). If the water evaporates faster than the food is cooking, add more. If you are baking, some or all of the shortening may be replaced with unsweetened applesauce in many recipes. It can be a matter of trial and error; however, many prepackaged mixes, especially for brownies, give instructions for this type of substitution. Reading those directions can give you a starting point.

Many foods don't really require oil, but others do. Oil really isn't greasy. If you're concerned about fat, you can substitute a no-stick spray for butter, lard or grease when frying. Also, if you roast meat on a rack above a pan to catch the melted fat as it drips off, you'll eliminate a good portion of the natural fat. But don't try to eliminate fat entirely from meat or fowl - that'd make it dreadfully dry and unpalatable. And don't forget that your body needs some fat in your diet - some of the most important nutrients your body MUST have - are not water-soluble but are fat soluble...your body can't absorb them witrhout fat being included in the diet. Those are the vitamins A, D, E and K. So: cut down on fat but don't overdo it!

If you're baking cakes or cookies, try substituting apple sauce (natural, unsweetened) for up to 2/3 of the amount of oil.
Aside from that, in regular cooking, there's not much you can do. Just try to stick with olive or canola oils as they are healthier than other kinds, and use as little as possible. Instead of frying, try roasting, steaming, baking, broiling, and grilling.

Olive oil is the best substitute. Make sure you get extra virgin. It has things the other grades of oil do not. Its been to long since I studied it so I can't list the differences. However as I recall its all stuff you want. Dang this oldtimers disease I just can't remember it.

Try a different approach...try using a crock pot.
Almost all crock pot recipes require no oil and cook in there own juices with maybe a little water added.
Here are a few really easy crock pot recipes.

I use canola oil, it's extracted from vegetable. So, no fattening ingredients.
