>sunflower oil, coconut oil, grapeseed oil, linseed oil, rapeseed oil, soybean oil, teak oil,

are most of these actually useful or just a meme? i use olive oil or vegetable oil 99% of the time and its fine

A certain type of rapeseed oil called caiziyou is popular in chinese cooking. Coconut oil is good for certain things as well especially when you want its flavor. The rest are just good for high heat

[Anonymous No.16282322]

Some are better for frying because of heat tolerance right? I know the coconut oil shit has strong antiviral properties, I bought a jar but never actually cooked with it. Apparently you need to watch yourself if you're eating it for medicinal reasons because it's so effective at killing microorganisms

I use olive oil or grapeseed.

Seed oils are very bad for you. Soybean oil is even worse.

Olive oil, butter, lard, tallow. These oils are worth using.

what exactly is vegetable oil? i always thought it was just a generic term for seed oils, for some reason.
anyway i like sunflower oil because it doesn't smell like much so that's what i use for cooking. and olive oil for direct consumption like in salads

Whatever is cheapest, which currently seems soybean oil.
>>16282407
You can use refined olive oil for mayo.

It doesn't really matter what fully refined oil you use. All the flavour is gone, all the antioxidants get destroyed and they all have 3-MCPD and GE. Even for allergies it doesn't really matter in theory, but they might blend in some of the unrefined oil so be careful.

They all do high temperatures. The only oil you shouldn't buy is avocado oil, it's all fake.

I mostly use lard, tallow, butter, or duck fat.

I will occasionally use peanut oil, and olive oils for salad.

most vegetable oil you buy is probably soybean oil
although the term "vegetable oil" is a catchall for any oil derived from fruits or vegetables as to distinguish them from animal fats or mineral oils

[Anonymous No.16282516]

>>16282400
Vegetable oil means any oil from plants. They contain unsaturated fats that will transform with heat to transfats the longer you cook them. Some, like olive oil have less heat tolerance than sunflower oil and you also need processed sunflower oil rather than cold pressed for that.
But the most optimal for frying are fats like lard or butter.

[Anonymous No.16282523]

>>16282422
so just eat olive oil right.

There is high oleic sunflower oil, which is even more stable than olive oil.

[Anonymous No.16282720]

>>16282309
There's only three oils you'll ever need for mainstream cooking: olive oil, extra virgin olive oil, and whatever you need for high heat.

Olive oil is the go to for generic needs. Extra virgin olive oil has a more fruity flavor, so you'd use it on breads and salads when you want the flavor. There's lots of high heat oils that work like avocado and peanut oil, but I typically like to use peanut oil. Most other oils weird oils are used for a specific flavor and aren't worth it.

Don't use vegetable, canola, soybean oil, etc...
That shit is super bad for you and almost all seed oils were originally made for lubricants. Linseed oil is literally used as a paint lacquer still.

[Anonymous No.16282726]

EVOO has a super low smoke point and meant for its flavor. Use it for salad dressings or some shit, not general cooking.

[Anonymous No.16282729]

>>16282523
That one is good. Avocado oil is also stable at high temp. Refined coconut oil is stable at 450 also, unrefined 350. Butter is fairly ok but not for high heat. Ghee is high heat, beef tallow and other animal fats are high heat and nutritious as well.
They are the best choices in general.

>beef tallow and other animal fats are high heat and nutritious as well.
Nutritious is a low bar to cross.

Unless you make your own tallow/lard, and do some kind of salt filtering, it will almost certainly be high temperature refined just like vegetable oil.

[Anonymous No.16282921]

>>16282726
>EVOO has a super low smoke point
Upwards of 180C as long as it's filtered, honestly it's not that bad. Below the smokepoint it will actually last longer than vegetable oil for deep frying.

coconut oil with my coffee. just a tablespoon. reminder it's made up of MCTs (medium-chain triglycerides) instead of LCTs (same but long-chain) so it's a good choice for some of your fat consumption (low-fat diets are a bad idea)

Only used sunflower and coconut oil. Used the coconut oil to make bacon and it smelt awful. Sunflower is good for frying and I prefer it over canola as it doesn't burn while sitting in the pan. Plus sunflowers take less processing to get the oils out so it's a little healthier.

Olive oil is the fake one if it comes from Europe since the Italian mafia runs that shit. Except Spanish oil. Middle Eastern (except israel) if fine too.

I know, I was an impatient teen hoping the oil would cook it faster or make it crispier. These days I just use an air-fryer, cooks it better than I ever could and there's no spit.

Do they not label shit in the US? In Canada there's no such thing as vegetable oil, they have to tell you what type of oil it is. Canola, corn and olive are by far the most popular. >>16285862

I think you're replying to the wrong person but here in Aus, we do have vegetable oil among other specific oils. It used to be made with palm oil but now it's a mystery. Canola is the most popular but I like sunflower.

Same for Germany. Rapeseed being the cheapest oil you can get. Sunflower coming next so those are the most popular ones.
Only those big ass blocks of deep frying fats are also made from the even cheaper palm oil, but those are not used as regularcooking oils.

Olive oil for general all purpose, coconut oil for flavor or to attempt to kill my friend who is allergic to coconut, linseed for my cutting boards or I just use mineral oil, teak for my woodcrafts as a finish, rapeseed for dishes that will start in the pan and go into the oven using the same pan, butter for small flavor and to change consistency of sauces. I got a small sample sized bottle of avocado oil, and I tried baking with it. I think I like that, so I might give it another go. It gave a savory element, but I might tone it down next time. Canola oil or peanut for deep frying.
