Fry Light is a fantastic product that is a staple requirement for every Slimming World member out there. It’s an easy to use, convenient replacement for oil.

I understand there is concern with some dietary requirements (halal) as to whether Fry Light should be used as it contains a small portion of alcohol. In this instance it is added as a preservative only and is removed by evaporation upon heating. You can read the FAQ published by the parent company, Dairy Crest, by clicking here to confirm this if needed.

There is still a lot of difference of opinion on this and I am often asked to confirm, so to be clear I am of the opinion that the alcohol does indeed fully burn off when heated so I do use it in my cooking. If however you wish not to use Fry Light you can use alternatives such as the Tesco Sunflower Oil (0.5 syn for 6 sprays) or the Groovy Company Coconut Spray oil which is free.

As examples I use it when making fried eggs, on SW chips, for making brown rice or biryani and even to make my curries instead of using boat loads of oil!
