I read on here before that if u cook something in a certain fat say like flax seed oil it can turn it into a transfat and that would make it really bad for you
Is there any downside to sauteing my chicken in Fat Free Italian Dressing?
Will it change the make of the Dressing? maybe get rid of sodium in the dressing or do anything bad to the chicken?
I might be a stupid question but im just curious, thanks

You won't make any transfats matt. Sauteing is done with a fat, not a dressing. Marinate your chicken in the Italian dressing for a few hours, pat dry and then saute in the olive oil, or saute the chicken first then drizzle some Italian dressing over. About the flax oil, never use that for cooking, and actually never use any poly oils whatsoever for frying. Use a mono fat like oilve or avacado oil or use a saturated fat of some kind.
One problem is....some of our competitors suffer from excessive build quality.

Unsaturated fats have electron-rich double bonds between one or more carbon atoms. These double bonds are more reactive, especially at high temperatures. This is what causes healthy oils to be converted into their unhealthy counter parts.
I suggest you stir fry stuff in regular cooking oils or saturated fats, not flaxseed oil.You cannot make a man by standing a sheep on its hind legs. But by standing a flock of sheep in that position you can make a crowd of men.

Transfats can b formed at high temperature . . .
The biggest transfat danger is from using partly-hydrogenated oils or shortening. But even w/ non-hydrogenated cooking oil, if u get ur oil too hot so it smokes, u might create a little transfat just from the high temperature.
That's more of an issue where the oil keeps getting reused & is held at high temperature constantly, such as in the deep fat fryers in fast food restaurants.Best Regards,
