Best Cooking Oil

I love olive oil but they are quite pricey so I rarely use it. I have a bottle which I only use occasionally. Other times I stick with palm or vegetable oil since they are healthier than peanut oil and are relatively affordable. The best for me would be to not use any add-on oil at all. Normally meat contains oil so I just cook them without added oil.

 

Olive oil is my favorite oil to cook with, but I also keep canola oil on hand because it is what I use for baking. I've been meaning to try coconut oil since I hear it has many health benefits, and it can be used for other things besides cooking such as a hair treatment.

 

I only cook with canola oil or olive oil. Those are the healthiest kinds, and canola oil is definitely better and tastes way better then soy oil for example.

 

I use vegetable oil and canola oil to cook. I don't use a lot of cooking oil when I mostly because I do not fry food. The oil I do use is used when I bake cookies or muffins. I am not a fan of olive oil either, it is a little too strong for my taste, I do like the seasoned olive oil that is used to baste food while cooking or on vegetables. The seasoned oils are a little pricey so I don't use them very much.

 

I've read an article that butter (from grass fed cows) is the healthiest to use for cooking. Way healthier than these vegetable oils we are using. There are dangers that these vegetable oils present in our digestion. Just search on google 'butter healthier than oils'. You'll be directed to some interesting articles.

 

For general cooking I'm using sunflower oil because it's cheaper and for salads I use olive oil. Since a lot of friends recommend it I'll soon try coconut oil. From what I read it burns slower and the taste is not bad at all, we'll see. Now, back to sunflower oil. In the past it used to be more thick but these days it looks like water and burns insanely fast - I'm thinking that they dilute it as much as they can to maximize profits.

 

I don't touch canola oil since in my country it mostly comes from genetically modified crops. The same goes for corn oil. My favourite cooking oil has always been sunflower oil. I love the sweet, nutty taste, and the versatility of the oil. It can be used in everything, from savoury stir-fries to delicious deserts. I also like using sesame oil for its unique taste and stomach warming qualities.

 

This is a tough question to answer without more information. Certain oils are best for certain kinds of cooking. Other oils (like olive) you may enjoy dressing your salads with or low frying with but they utterly fail with high temperature frying. So, other than this, I would take into account texture and taste. Again, all depends on what/how you're cooking.

 

I grew up using vegetable oil for everything in my household. Now that I am older, I try some better types. Olive oil is pretty good. I also just recently started using coconut oil. It taste great especially when making desserts. I know it better for you than some other oils.

 

Avocado Oil is fast becoming my favorite oil to cook with, in part because of its higher smoke point, but also because it is a much healthier choice than any other vegetable oil. Second in line would be Olive oil, because you can't beat the flavor, but third would be peanut oil or coconut oil. I try to absolutely never use vegetable oil if I can help it.

 

Olive oil is my favorite cooking oil and it has certain health benefits as well. I haven't found it to be too expensive, the kinds I usually get are about $5 dollars. Canola oil usually bothers my stomach so I try to avoid that.

 

I like frying chicken with canola oil and just about all things I fry. However, I heard olive oil is the best as far as health. The worst oil I can think of is peanut oil. That stuff leaves a horrible taste in the mouth and on the chicken.
