HOW TO TELL IF THERE'S OIL IN YOUR FOOD

Occasionally, some restaurants will tell you there's no way to cook a particular dish without oil. This simply isn't true. If you suspect there's been oil added to your food, there's a few simple ways to check. First of all, you can just touch it. If it feels greasy and that feeling doesn't evaporate from your hand immediately, there's probably oil in it. You can also try touching your food with a napkin to see if it leaves a greasy spot. Finally, touch your plate to see if it feels greasy.
