Which oil to cook with?

[Guest guest]

Oliv oil was the rage for a while, then people started talking about it

breaking down at cooking temperatuires.

 

Canola oil gained and lost momentum too.

 

Presently, I am reading more and more about the health benefits of

cocfonut oil.

 

So which oils do you prefer to cook with and why?

I use olive oil most for main dishes or frying/sauteeing, but I use an

electric frying pan set between 300-350 degrees, so the oil stays healthy. I

think it's only over 400 degrees (maybe 450 even) that it becomes a bad fat.

When I do fry something, I use a nonstick pan, so it doesn't take much oil

anyway.

 

I use corn oil when I bake whole grain muffins or pancakes, because I like

the flavor best, and it doesn't intrude when I'm using delicate blueberries or

other fruits in them.

 

I use flax seed oil for some salad dressings. Or walnut oil, or more olive

oil, depending on what's going in with them.

 

I don't use canola oil because the real name is rape seed oil, and that

disturbs me. I know, strange!... it comes from doing dreamwork and being very

aware that language has a lot of deeper meaning than we may notice. Rape is

not a good thing, which of course, is why they choose to call it canola oil. I

cannot bring myself to buy it.

 

I thought coconut was a bad fat? Not anymore? It's hard to keep up

sometimes! It's nice in sunscreen though. I wish! Winter is still dragging

along

here in Connecticut.

I wasn't crazy about the taste of coconut oil. I use Olive oil, often

mixed with a bit of butter, just because it seems to work well. I use a

heavy cast-iron frying pan on medium heat. And I am so tired of all the

fads!

All the oils in the market are chemically extracted so they are useless.

 

If you need a non chemically extracted oil that is butter oil/

 

Cocunut is very good.

 

Olive oil is destroyed by the heat in the cooking process.

I personally use olive oil and butter most of the time but recently started

using coconut oil. Always - Always ORGANIC. I also have safflower and

sunflower oil. I will never ever have canola in my house.

I love coconut oil! I recently shed 15 pounds, and now I am using

coconut oil as one of my weight management tools. Whereas most

lotions contain propylene glychol and other chemicals, I use it on my

skin as a lotion replacement. And, best of all, I use it on my face

as a replacement for skin cleansers/moisturizers. I also just bought

a bag of coconut flour to cook with as it is much lower in carbs than

other flours.

 

I do still use olive oil in salad dressings and drizzled on foods. I

make my own mayo, and prefer the taste of olive oil to canola oil.

I live in Kerala, South India. Kera means coconut tree and Kerala means

Land of coconuts. For several centuries the people of Kerala use Coconut Oil

for cooking, massaging and even as medicine. We put coconut oil over our

head and body before bathing. We use raw coconut in most of food we eat. We

have all sorts of diseases here just like any other part of the world.

The occurrence of diabetes is little higher,I think. It may not be because

of coconut oil. Whenever we build a new house, we plant a few coconut trees

around it. We use its wood for roof work, its leaves for thatching the

roof,its flowers for Ayurvedic medicines, its wood for burning etc. Tender

coconuts are good as softdrink and palm wine also is made from the tree.

Constant warnings against coconut oil (cholesterol etc) by medical

profession (who are controlled by multinationals) has decreased the coconut

oil consumption which in turn decreased coconut price.
