If it's dripping off I let it drip into the plate, but the pizza places we eat at aren't really that greasy. I gotta say I kind of think the paper towel fibers are gross too! If you dry off an apple I don't think much residue is left over, if any, because it's not soaking wet but grease is hot and sticky! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-blot-surface-oil-on-your-pizza#post-273874 Tue, 28 Aug 2012 17:13:12 +0000 PurplePumps 273874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! Any time I see huge puddles on my pizza, I'll blot.... the pizza is fatty enough, I don't need to eat what looks like spoon fulls of oil too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-blot-surface-oil-on-your-pizza#post-273867 Tue, 28 Aug 2012 17:08:37 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 273867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-blot-surface-oil-on-your-pizza#post-273849 Tue, 28 Aug 2012 16:43:55 +0000 Andrea 273849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I also read that it's an easy way to save some calories. And about eating paper towel fibers...that is crazy. I just washed an apple and dried it off with a paper towel. I guess I am eating fibers! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-blot-surface-oil-on-your-pizza#post-273836 Tue, 28 Aug 2012 16:27:04 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 273836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! If I'm going to splurge and eat something bad, I'm going to enjoy all the grease that comes with it. Yum! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-blot-surface-oil-on-your-pizza#post-273725 Tue, 28 Aug 2012 15:16:44 +0000 lemondrop 273725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, always.

I agree that the napkins do leave fibers on the pizza and I would rather not ingest those </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-blot-surface-oil-on-your-pizza#post-273659 Tue, 28 Aug 2012 14:38:04 +0000 Turd Ferguson 273659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I almost always do, it's mainly a texture/visual thing for me, but then I found this little gem: </p> <p><a href="http://thechart.blogs.cnn.com/2011/04/29/what-the-yuck-does-blotting-pizza-save-calories/" rel="nofollow">http://thechart.blogs.cnn.com/2011/04/29/what-the-yuck-does-blotting-pizza-save-calories/</a> </p> <p>20-50 calories per piece?

I don't need to see the disgusting napkin covered in oil sitting at my place setting for the rest of the meal. That oil belongs in my belly.

I just think the puddles of oil are gross and I've read it's the easiest 40 calories you can avoid. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-blot-surface-oil-on-your-pizza#post-273622 Tue, 28 Aug 2012 14:27:49 +0000 mrsjyw 273622@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>used to all the time; not so much anymore... we switched to a diff pizza place and they don't have overly greasy pizzas so i'm not tempted to do it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-blot-surface-oil-on-your-pizza#post-273619 Tue, 28 Aug 2012 14:27:18 +0000 chopsuey 273619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never!

My coworker says thinks the small fibers from the paper towel are more dangerous than the oil! </p>
