What oil to cook with.

[valley ranch]

We bought a property with a house on it. The screen in the vent over the stove had a build up from the cooking oil. Nothing would cut the oil not even thinner, it was lenolem, you may have seen what I'm talking about. I think that would bit by bit accumulate in the human body the same way.

What's you thought, what do you use when preparing food? We cook with Olive Oil, a good friend uses butter and/or Grape seed oil.

Have a great day.

I use avocado, grape seed and of course butter for the lower temp items.

I mainly use extra virgin olive oil, butter, and on some occasions coconut oil.

Oh yeah, I forgot coconut oil. I use that too, for my morning eggs. DH doesn't care for the slight flavor it imparts to his eggs, so he gets butter.

 

[frontiergirl53]

I only use it for my eggs!

Hi, Never used coconut oil, that comes from the coconut and not the coconut palm I'm guessing.



In some cases we use sesame seed oil, but few.

I use olive oil as my main cooking oil. I'd like to use more coconut oil but my husband doesn't like the flavor it gives to food. So, like others, I use the coconut oil for my eggs, to season my cast iron pans, and as a moisturizer for my face at bedtime.

You are all missing out, I only use oil high in saturated and trans fats.
If you want real flavor this is the stuff!!!!

THANX RICH

dickiebird, you pot stirrer!
I don't fry much, but do use some organic lard, butter, olive oil, bacon grease. I like coconut oil but not really for frying. I also sometimes use peanut oil. It seems to be the least ominous of the liquid vegetable oils.
