What kind of oil do you cook with?
I use extra virgin first pressed olive oil for salad dressing and a few hot dishes, I am curious about what other oils are good to use, I was using Canola expressly for cooking, but just read some things that made me change my mind about buying it anymore.
I did buy some peanut oil and used that yesterday and today in cooking. |
I mostly use Canola oil for cooking, but last night I ran out and so fried up my chicken tacos in olive oil. Man, they were GREAT! I think I will start using olive oil more often! :p
|
I normally use canola oil for frying..if I saute veggies use a little olive oil with a bit of butter. This whole oil controversy is sooo complicated!
|
I use coconut oil for frying, and olive oil/flax oil for drizzling (ok, dousing) my salads.
|
I usually use olive oil OR butter for cooking. I love cooking pork chops in just plain butter... they taste great!
|
Extra virgin olive oil, butter, grapeseed oil, sesame oil.... if it's interesting looking/ sounding oil I'll buy it and try it :D
|
I use only expeller-pressed peanut oil, olive oil, butter, virgin coconut oil and beef or pork tallow (lard) for cooking and frying. No other man-made oil measures up, or is nearly as safe (I feel) for frying.
For deep frying, I use peanut oil, but only once. After it's been heated, I throw it out, due to damage caused by oxidation and heating. |
Extra virgin olive oil, peanut oil and grapeseed oil for frying. I often add roasted sesame oil too, for seasoning (doesn't fry well though.) In baking etc mixes I add a little flaxseed oil as well (other ingredients mask the taste.)
|
Butter and more butter.
|
Where can I find Coconut oil? I have read a few posts that mention this type of oil, but I have yet to see it in the stores. I have come accross walnut oil, but don't know much about that one.
For Super bown Sunday I used peanut oil to fry the wings. It worked out pretty well. But the coconut oil is peaking my interest for sure. |
I use half olive oil and half butter for sauteeing, and peanut oil for deep-frying.
I'm thinking about buying some coconut oil, but I'm not sure what I'd use it on. |
coconut oil is actually solid. It is sold in Jars or Bottles and if you can't find it at your local supermarket, try any asian, bangladeshi or turkish/middle eastern shop. They normally have it in.

I use olive oil and/or butter. Looking into getting coconut oil for frying.
|
I have actually been wondering what oil to use myself. I cut out canola oil and I am now concerned about peanut oil because of the aflatoxins in it.
I use sesame oil and olive oil but those have very distinct flavors. I also love the flavor of coconut oil but I am not sure it will work with everything. I will probably just start using more butter and less oils anyway. Not really sure what I would use for deep frying now. |
