what cooking oil do you use

[Willmafrockfit]

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

Lard. I bought some sort of oil in homebargains for the air fryer it’s sunflower or veg oil.

Groundnut or olive. I find rapeseed/ vegetable/ canola (different names for the same product) tastes fishy, particularly with roast potatoes.

Also stopped using seed oils. I use olive oil and extra virgin olive oil for everything now.

This may be obvious, but as a rather paranoid parent who has a child with a peanut allergy- please be sure you are not cooking for any guests who might have one also if using groundnut oil! (I say this only because one of my bookclub friends had no idea groundnut oil was made of peanuts.......long story.... )

I use mostly olive oil but if doing fried food like tempura or chips I use sunflower oil as it is lighter in taste. I use a mix of sunflower oil with a few drops of sesame oil for stir fries.

A youtuber I watch uses exclusively avocado oil which I plan to try.

I have multiple, depends what I'm cooking. Sunflower for all purpose type stuff

A mixture
I use olive oil or butter out of preference
Have sunflower oil for some things

Also peanut allergy child here, please don’t use peanut oil Willy billy if your cooking for guests. I wouldn’t assume anyone is using peanut oil bar in Asian cooking, so wouldn’t occur to me that people are cooking say homemade chips at home in peanut oil.

I want to like rapeseed oil as it is a locally grown product, but I really dislike the taste.

I use light olive oil for cooking and EV olive oil in salads and for drizzling.

I use sunflower oil most of the time, used to use rapeseed but it has a taste I'm not keen on. Sesame oil for stir fries and occasionally coconut oil for curry. Extra virgin olive oil for dressings only, although I will sometimes use it for roasting veg or new potatoes

Olive oil and locally produced rapeseed oil. Climate change is devastating these crops, so we can expect steep price rises year on year. Use as little as possible basically.

Mostly olive oil but occasionally butter, coconut or sesame depending on what we're cooking. We do have some vegetable oil in the cupboard I think, it makes an appearance from time to time.

I use a mixture.

Extra virgin olive oil for salad dressings/drizzling

Avocado oil or cold pressed rapeseed oil for frying

Sesame oil if I'm cooking something Asian

I don't use butter/lard/ghee as I'm watching my cholesterol and avocado/olive/cold pressed rapeseed all have far less saturated fat and more monounsaturated fats.

Didn't most of our sunflower oil come from crops grown in Ukraine? That would explain the price increase.

Vegetable oil is any oil of plant origin. So olive oil, rapeseed oil, sunflower oil, sesame, palm, peanut etc are all vegetable oils. If it just says ‘vegetable oil’ on the bottle you have to look at the ingredients but it’s usually rapeseed.

it’s vegetable as opposed to mineral oil (not used for cooking!) or animal oil (butter, lard, dripping, whale…)

Olive oil, avocado oil, butter/ghee. I have Coconut oil but don't really use it.

Sunflower oil for frying... olive blend oil for cooking and cold pressed olive oil for dressing

Evo oil from glass bottles, not plastic for most cooking. I occasionally use extra virgin sunflower for oven chips & extra virgin Coconut oil for some Asian cooking.
The only issue is that Evoo renders your frying pans unusable much quicker. But then we've more or less stopped using no-stick pans now.

Sunflower or rapeseed for most cooking, mustard oil and olive oil for some cooking.

I always buy supermarket own brand sunflower oil for cooking. I won’t buy rapeseed oil because I hate the disgusting stinking yellow plants which carpet the countryside every May.

It is a vegetable oil by classification but it’s that thing of all rapeseed oil is vegetable oil, but all vegetable oil is not rapeseed oil

Olive oil burns at an high temperature so is useless for most things.
Brilliant as a dressing.
I use Rapeseed .. unless I'm frying a steak then l fry in butter.

I love the taste. It so creamy and buttery. Not bitter like some olive oils.

I’m happy to eat bread dunked in it as a snack.

My least favourite is linseed oil. I can’t get past the smell. Like gloss paint.

Groundnut oil for things where you don't want too much of a flavour. Olive oil where tasting a bit olivey is a plus. Ghee has been a recent game changer for us, really easy to use and seems to last forever. No idea how healthy any of this is but we've found the most important thing is getting a good selection of vegetables and wholegrain stuff down us so we try to make that as easy as possible.

Rapeseed for most things, extra Virgin for dressings, goose/duck/dripping sometimes. Butter for some dishes.

Depends on what I am cooking you have to consider; the different temperatures - as different oils have different smoke points and the flavour the oil will impart.

Olive oil can’t stand high temps so I use that for fish, softening veg for a sauce, or towards the end of cooking for flavour,

Anything going into the oven or wok on a high heat neutral oils with a high smoke point.

Anything going into a frying pan that is really fatty (bacon, pork chops, selected steaks) go into a cold (good quality none stick) pan and slowly brought up to temp so they cook in their own fat, no oil required.

Sunflower oil. I don't really like the taste of any other oils.
