i was using olive oil
then start olivio which is blended
yesterday i bought red palm fruit and rapeseed oil
i thought i read rapeseed oil was the future
is that right
or should it have been ground nut oil, because that is very expensive and less available

I mostly use olive oil or butter. I have some canola oil but I find olive oil is fine for most things.

DinnaeFashYersel · 10/03/2024 07:31

Mostly olive oil unless I'm cooking Chinese then I use sesame oil or Indian - sunflower oil

lifebeginsaftercoffee · 10/03/2024 07:32

We use sunflower oil which has always been fine.

Seed oils are really bad for you.

We use olive oil, butter, ghee depending on the temps needed.

KohlaParasaurus · 10/03/2024 07:37

Olive, rapeseed, and occasionally coconut oil.

SweetPeaPatch · 10/03/2024 07:39

I used to use olive oil for most cooking, and coconut or sesame when more appropriate to the cuisine. Olive oil is so expensive now though that I've started using rapeseed more often.

Willmafrockfit · 10/03/2024 07:43

exactly, olive oil is so expensive, sunflower oil has gone up

Pitstop1986 · 10/03/2024 08:17

Beef dripping in the frying pan and for roast potatoes.
Coconut oil, butter or avocado oil for everything else

Rapeseed. Cheep, neutral in flavour and produces fewer unhealthy aldehydes when subjected to heat. Olive oil also seems IK but is more expensive! www.dmu.ac.uk/about-dmu/news/2015/july/dmu-research-on-healthiest-cooking-oils-revealed-on-bbcs-trust-me,-im-a-doctor.aspx

ashiningbeaconinspace · 10/03/2024 08:19

OK not IK !!

I switched to olive oil for everything when trying to reduce our UPFs, I buy the big cans of it from Sainsbury's.

gawditswindy · 10/03/2024 08:31

I read once that over a certain temperature they're all much the same in terms of health. Olive oil can't get as hot as some others I don't think so I use vegetable oil for roast potatoes, coconut oil for curries, olive oil for everything else.

MissBoomBastic · 10/03/2024 08:33

Isn't rapeseed's oil vegetable oil though? I'm sure I've checked the ingredients on a bottle of rapeseed and it say's 'vegetable oil'
What's the difference?

Lifebeganat50 · 10/03/2024 08:33

I don’t use much oil in cooking but I’ve been using rapeseed oil when I do for about 30 years

The supermarket vegetable oil I buy just says rapeseed in the ingredients

Willmafrockfit · 10/03/2024 08:39

i thought vegetable oil included olive oil in its ingredients

I always used olive oil but then switched to rapeseed as it's produced locally and I can bulk buy
