I’m gay btw, not sure if that’s relevant

This shit actually works great at high temperatures, tastes ok.

>>11236802
>I sincerely hope you don't do any high temperature frying with pic related.
But it's heckin tasty friendo

Literally every restaurant uses conola or peanut oil you retard.

I use coconut oil

>>11236877
>conola

>>11236802
I sincerely hope no one uses that garbage oil at all.

I only ever use fats from animals.

Is this a legitimate concern? I fry fish and chicken in both vegetable oil and canola oil pretty much interchangeably. Vegetables I fry in olive oil or vegetable oil. Am I doing it wrong?

>>11236877
peanut oil is good. canola isn't. canola turns into a bunch of cancerous bullshit at high temperatures.

>>11236802

why did they change its name from RAPESEED oil to CANOLA oil?

are americans so easily triggered by the word RAPE?

>>11236974
You can't market rape.

>>11236975
>you cant say naughty sounding words in the land of the free

rape is a fucking vegetable

>>11236975
but you can give it away for free.

>>11236974
Tape, the plant comes from turnip and us part of the cabbage family, brassica.
In the UK a while ago complained, was offended, about the association with the oil and sexual assault if the same name. Seemed she did not understand the difference. Was widely ridiculed in the media for this, ignorance. I think canola and rape are different.

>>11236825
I bet you are constantly chomping at the bit to tell people this aren't you?

>>11236981
kek, we are well aware that you are comfortable with the word rape in your country.

>>11236802
i use cold-pressed non-GMO rapeseed oil for pretty much everything that doesn't require a specialty oil. it costs almost $18 a quart though, so not for everybody.

>>11237364
at that price you could use grapeseed which is better in every way.

>>11236965
Then dont fucking heat it to high temperatures until it starts smoking white. You can sear a steak perfectly well beffore it even starts smoking blue.

I like mac n cheese cuz it gives me the best farts. They're nice and wet, they have that frogginess to them, but they never border on a shart. It's like a bubble bursting in my asshole everytime. If I mix it with broccoli I get these nice long wet farts that sound like someone making fart noises into their wind instrument at bandcamp when they're trying to learn how to play it. And the smell, dear lord the smell. Sweet and sensuous yet with a sour note that just kind of dangles there at the end, never overstaying its welcome and becoming rancid. Some nights after eating a massive bowl of mac n cheese and broccoli I pass out and awake in the morning to a symphony of this wonderous farts flying from my asshole and the aroma of the pungent mist their collective aura has dabbed upon my bedroomJ

Canola is a made up name.
Canola was originally a trademark name of the Rapeseed Association of Canada, and the name was a condensation of "Can" from Canada and "ola" from other vegetable oils like Mazola,[6][7] but is now a generic term for edible varieties of rapeseed oil in North America and Australia. The change in name serves to distinguish it from natural rapeseed oil, which has much higher erucic acid content.
Most all commercially available canola is genetically modified in some way.
A genetically engineered rapeseed that is tolerant to herbicide was first introduced to Canada in 1995 (Roundup Ready canola). A genetically modified variety developed in 1998 is considered to be the most disease- and drought-resistant canola variety to date. In 2009, 90% of the Canadian crop was herbicide-tolerant.[8] As of 2005, 87% of the canola grown in the US was genetically modified

recommend me something else then dipshit

>>11236802
my mom esclusively uses canola

>>11238702
Coconut oil
Avocado oil
Penis oil
Extra virgin olive oil
Flax seed oil

>>11238702
Lard or bacon fat.

>>11236802
I don't fry or do anything with oil. Diet is a zero-sum game and there is no room in mine for nutrient-free calories.

>>11236802
Over here pretty much all we got is sunflower and olive oil. Most stores don't even have anything else.

Only use an oil with a smoke point that matches or exceeds the temperature you are cooking at. I use extra virgin olive oil for low heat frying (350-375 max), coconut oil for baking (350 max), and avocado oil for anything higher than that (400+).

>>11239208
>all those old rancid oils because you have too keep 3 different oils

>>11237626
Wait. There are degrees of smoking? As soon as there's the first sign of smoke, I thought the oil would be burning.

>>11238702
Heard nice things about rice bran oil but have never actually seen it in stores.

>>11239243
You are correct, and the colored smoke anon is doomed to cancer.

I use lard, tallow, butter, ghee, ie. animal fats. I have an idea to buy fatty cuts from the butch, slice them to bits, store the bits in ice cube trays, freeze them. When I need to fry something I take a bit of frozen fat from the freezer and pan fry the oil out of the fat. This would not be a purified fat like lard or tallow, but it is much cheaper by the pound, and still mostly the same thing, fat.

I once forgot I had an oiled pan heating on the stove and when I noticed the acrid smell I rushed back into the kitchen. It was smoking pure white and a had a very different smell than just lightly blue smoking oil. A tiny littel bit of blue smoke wont harm anyone, as soon as you put some food in the pan the temps will drop immediately.

you really like getting deceived by all these lies don't you

don't drink water it drains your body of critical electrolytes, your heart muscles will stop functioning and you'll die. leading cause of death is heart failure, after all.

>>11237063
Ironic, given how commonplace rape has become in Britain recently. Maybe if they used the Arabic word for it instead they'd find it more palatable
