What oil do you mainly use for cooking.

I love olive oil. I use it for about 95% of my cooking. Vegetable oil, canola or corn oil will come in second. This depends mainly on what is on sale at the grocery store. ;) I recently discovered sesame oil, and that has a very unique flavor. My hubby and I love it... the kids not so much. They think it's a horrible smell. I don't, it smells wonderful as it's cooking!

The "ideal" cooking oil should contain higher amount of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats and with minimal or no saturated fats and trans fats. Good Cooking Oils: canola oil, flax seed oil, peanut oil, olive oil, non-hydrogenated soft margarine, safflower oil, sunflower oil, corn oil. Bad Cooking Oils:, Vegetable shortening, Hard margarine Butter, Palm oil, Palm kernel oil, Coconut oil

when i can afford it it has to be extra virgin Olive Oil, when i cant afford it, its vegitable oil. However, i have recently discovered peanut oil and love cooking with this. Now and agin i make my own oils, particularly i make chilie and garlic oil. These make nice gifts and add a definite taste to cooking blessed be

what ever is the cheapest at the store...uusally its vegitable oil...or sometimes sunflower oil...just depends!!

I am using extra virgin olive oil for cooking. But as for deep fry dishes, it will be vegetable oil. I personaly think olive oil is less harmful.

My family uses different types of oil for cooking. We use vegetable oil, and olive oil. I love the taste of food that is cooked in extra vigrin olive oil. I am not aware of the nutritional values in each type of oil

i use a cooking spray i dont use oil unless im cooking noodles

I use vegetable oil. I hope it is a little more healthy.

here we use palm oil, olive oil is good too but is a bit expoensive

well I have a bottle of olive oil and coconut oil but I mostly use pure vegetable oil next is the coconut oil then the olive oil rarely

I am fron India too.We use sesame oil, also called gingelly oil for pickles preapred specially in our households.Normally for cooking I use sunflower oil mainly and sometimes vegetable oil.I have also used canola and soya oil before but not anymore.I use olive oil when I prepare pasta,pizza etc.I think that gingelly/sesame oil is said to be most beneficial for heart.I have heard that palm oil is also good for health even though it solidifies at room temp.This was told to me by a very senior doctor some years ago.I donot know the truth behind it though and never use it in my cooking.Excess oil as any excessive food is bad for health.Moderation in everything is the key to good health,I believe.

I use Extra Virgin Olive Oil. I read that this is a good oil for you in moderation. Canola oil is the cheaper oil in this neck of the woods but I don't like it to cook with it and I think it is less healthy. I would like to try Coconut oil but here in Canada it is too expensive.

I use olive oil for stir fry,bake ,broil and ,grill .But i use peanut oil for deep fried .Some times i do like to use sesame oil on my food to enhance the taste of food.The reason why i use peanut oil for deep fried other then olive oil or vegetable oil because peanut oil has the highest smoke point. Smoke point is the temperature to which an oil can be heated before it begins to smoke and discolor, which means the oil is decomposing. Peanut oil's smoke point is 450°F, compared to extra-virgin olive oil (405°F), canola oil (400°F), and butter (350°F). For stir-frying, a small amount of sesame oil (smoke point 410°F) is sometimes added with the peanut oil, to enhance the flavor of the dish. So peanut oil in my choice to fry everything such as chicken, deep fried turkey,fish ,meat ball ,and others. According to the research the following oil is considered the good cooking oil: canola oil flax seed oil peanut oil olive oil non-hydrogenated soft margarine safflower oil sunflower oil corn oil Yes, excess use of cooking oil in the food is unhealthy.I always has aware from not using too much oil on my cooking which may lead to the potential of high cholesterol.

We use sunflower oil.I think it is less harmful.

I have read that deep frying is really bad for you no matter what kind of oil you use, because heating oil at high temperatures realeases carcinogens. But the best oil according to experts such as PAtrick Holford, is coconut oil. Personally I use olive oil as coconut oil is far too expensive in Ireland. I am a vegetarian so I really like Indian cooking.

Hi. I mainly use alot of olive oil and sunflower oil for cooking. After showers or baths I use Baby oil or lanolin on my skin...

In our home, we are using Sunflower Oil for cooking. Recently we started using the Corn oil for all our cooking purposes. For some stuffs such as pickles, we use Gingelly oil. My wife prefers Coconut oil for some of the dishes. So she uses that for cooking for some dishes only. But for most of the dishes we use the Sunflower and Corn oil only.

i use vegetable oil, the one that has no cholesterol. But i doubt if it has really no cholesterol. What oil has really no cholesterol?

In my home we like to use Olive Oil for cooking, as it is the healthiest. Ocasionally we may use Peanut oil. The collesterol level is a very good question. I've never actually looked on the back of the bottle to find out. Although I have read about Olive Oil & its suppose to be one of the best oils to use when cooking, because of the health benefits for our bodies. I think the excess of oil in foods is only harmful to the body when its not a good oil. E.G. Vegetable Oil. The only oil that I know of that is less harmful to beautiful beings, is the Olive Oil. There have been alot of products made from Olive Oil, chefs use it alot in their cooking & also salad dressings. Olive Oil can be used for many purposes. Maybe that is why it is so popular.

In the brasil use Olive oil this is very good The excess oil is very bad to the your health because collesterol very danger for your life so dont used in excess
