What type of oil do you use?

Coconut oil - SO healthy, great for cooking, and delicious!! Unrefined adds a slight coconut flavor (incredible with scrambled eggs, or roasted veggies), or you can get refined, which has no flavor.

agree completely and it has a long shelf life!

I use extra virgin olive oil for cooking and, when I have the money, Flaxseed oil in smoothies/salads

extra virgin olive oil

Olive oil for cooking, extra virgin is actually a finishing oil, and isn't meant to be cooked, since the extra virgin oil will lose a lot of it's flavor when cooked. Plus it's more expensive, and there's no difference nutritionally. So, regular olive oil for cooking, extra virgin for salads or pasta topping.

I also cook with safflower oil a lot, very healthy oil, and cheaper than olive oil, plus it has a much higher smoke point. Really depends on what I'm making.

I use non stick pans when ever I can. I use extra virgin olive oil, or a cooking spray for my pans.

I use rice bran oil, it's apparently super healthy.

We have recently switched to using only olive oil and extra virgin olive oil. I was just wondering what everyone else uses? I have heard that canola is also healthy.

Yes, I use Olive for most everything and canola to deep fry or bake.

The canola items are not healthy foods; however, canola is better than veggie oil. The reason that canola oil is healthier than vegetable oil is that it is low in saturated fat and high in the heart-healthier polyunsaturated fat and monounsaturated fat. It also contains omega-3 fatty acids, an essential nutrient for your diet. Two teaspoons of canola oil contain only 0.6 g of saturated fat, while 7.8 g are found in the same amount of vegetable oil. Diets high in saturated fat put a person at risk for serious health conditions such as heart disease and high cholesterol.

oh wait... you mean for cooking.


Mostly extra virgin olive oil.

It depends. Different oils can sustain more heat than others. Olive oil being on the lower end of that scale.

I mostly use EVOO or unsalted butter depending on what the recipe calls for. Used to use margarine to help with non-stick but I now only use Pam for that.

Depending on what I'm cooking, butter- that's right butter. Unsalted sweet cream butter. Olive oil. Coconut oil. I use Extra Virgin Olive Oil (First cold pressed) for dressings.

I too have begin using extra virgin coconut oil (although, I don't cook it like ^the above poster does). I also use it externally on my skin and hair. Other than that, I try to consume almonds, avocado, flax seeds, olive oil, etc.

Canola is very unhealthy. It's also not real. There's no such think as a "canola" to make oil from. I use primarily EVOO or coconut oil.

Actually Canola is a grain and it is grown extensively around here. In some countries they call in "rapeseed". When you see a field of canola growing and almost ready to harvest it is a beautiful bright sunshine yellow.:laugh:
