What kind of oil do you use for cooking?

November 13, 2017 5:58pm CST
Do you have any particular preference when it comes to what kind of oil to use when you have to cook, or does that change from recipe to recipe in your opinion? Share your preferences (if you have one, of course).

Cooking? What’s that? When I do cook, and when I need oil, I use extra virgin olive oil.

I think my wife uses the same brand and has never changed. There are several types of cooking oil, a few of which offer lowest price but my wife is not attracted to the oil sold at lower price, especially if they are the ones with new brands.

We hardly ever use oil, it makes everything greasy and it actually makes my stomach sick. When we have to use oil we use vegetable oil.

We use peanut oil to cook. I think this is a very common oil here. If I make pizza, then of course I will use olive oil.

Extra virgin olive oil for most things unless I'm frying something like chicken cutlets. Then it is just vegetable oil.
