Any technique on how to saute these sponges without needing a ton of oil?

Yeah, I should probably grill them. Good idea, thanks.
The salt and set aside thing pulls out moisture right? Would suspect that only makes more room to sponge, but it's worth a shot too.

Yeah, I do that usually, but I just lost about 100ml of oil frying one eggplant and a courgette. I want to make things a little less fatty next time, if possible.

>>	Anonymous Mon Sep 24 00:52:59 2018 No.11244986 Op here. I'm gay btw. Not sure if it makes a difference

>>	Anonymous Mon Sep 24 02:48:55 2018 No.11245327 This happens with mushrooms too. I have noticed that once they have gotten hot and start steaming and sweating all the oil comes out again and they cook just fine. Just turn the heat down a bit so they dont burn while there is no oil in the pan.

>>	Anonymous Mon Sep 24 04:46:07 2018 No.11245585 >>11243144 The salt draws out the moisture, making vegetables cook faster. It's especially helpful with eggplant.

>>	Anonymous Mon Sep 24 04:57:50 2018 No.11245605 >>11242583 if you continue cooking without adding more it will leach out again

>>	Anonymous Mon Sep 24 08:16:39 2018 No.11246046 >>11242583 >Any technique on how to saute these sponges without needing a ton of oil? High heat, nigga

Dietary fat is good for you, pleb. I put extra oil on all my shit because I can

This. Any recipe you read will tell you to do this. OP is just a fucking retard. Or, you know, bake it.

If your eggplant is hot enough, the water evaporating will keep the oil from entering it's core. Like when frying fries.
