“Do you want to live long - throw out the pan”. This wise phrase should be remembered, even if you are not ready to completely give up fried food, and at least you need to replace part of it with dishes that are steamed or boiled.

And if you get used to such food, then for taste the lack of a fried crust will be a plus.
