Cooking oil
« on: November 11, 2012, 08:00:15 pm »
What kind of cooking oil do you mainly use at home? I prefer to use extra virgin olive oil for salad and making raw spaghetti sauce and hummus. For aroma, I like to splash a little pure black toasted sesame oil to noodle soups and raw salads.

I like using canola oil because its healthy and has omega-3.  I also like using it as a low-fat choice for deep frying.

Unfortunately I am still using Crisco Vegetable oil.  I have tried using Olive oil but just don't care for it much... maybe I should try Canola??

I think the best cooking oil is coconut oil.  Corn oil I use sometimes, if i cannot get the coconut oil. Extra virgin oilive oil i use on my salad.

i use olive oil. unless i am cooking something that needs high heat. it isnt good for that , olive oil will burn. if high heat is needed i use veggie oil. or frying okra and squash i use lard.

 I use mainly EVOO. I do use seasame oil for asian dishes and a little peanut oil for any thing requiring high heat (such as stir fry).
