[nitason1]

what kind of cooking oil does everybody use?
since im starting to cook for myself i need some good advice about oil
thanks

[ShihTzuMom1]

I use either canola oil or olive oil.

[mouseissue]

Canola oil or olive oil here too!  

If you want to deep fry something, I find canola oil will not scorch as olive sometimes can.

[joagain]

[nitason1]

Olive oil everyday.Peanut oil for frying. Am playing with grapeseeed too,has a high flashpoint.

[nitason1]

[umpa]

Umpa, what can I use instead off soy based oils for deep frying? The olive oil is really expensive where we live.

one time i had frenchfries cooked in peanut oil
it was good!  shame on me
what is it called? jicama? i wonder how that would taste that way?

[Countrygirl]

The problem nitason1 is that I am allergic to peanuts. That hole family of soy and peanuts is out of the question.

[Countrygirl]

I had been using corn oil, so you can now see my dilemma.

If you can't use peanut oil try olive oil, the more virgin the better.
