Which/How much Oil do you use for Cooking/ Deepam?

i use canola oil

I use extra light olive oil.

Hi
I use vegetable oil . But this time i'm planning to try canola oil as my friends say it is good .

Regards
Santasekar

We uses Canola and like it a lot better than vegetable or corn based oils, and CANOLA is comparitively a lot better from health perspective than the vegetable or corn oils.

I use Peanut oil for frying, just beacuse it has a high smoking point and doesnt burn up like other oils and fill my home with that oily/smokey smell !

Olive oil is great as long as u dont heat it, in taste it really doesnt make much of a difference but it breaks down on high heat and is actually does more harm than any benefit.

So...what's cooking ?

You are right, Nizam. Olive oil can withstand only low heat. The green color begins to change on high heat and releases harmful free radicals.

Hi all,

I use Extra virgin olive oil for regular cooking and canola for frying.

Seema

Hi mridu,

I had a consultation with the dietician

As per her advice, wat i can tel u is to use different kinds of oil

u have to switch on to the other oil once it gets over

I typically use Canola..but have started researching recently and found that canola is not good for health..people say Olive oil is the best but research also says that too much olive oil is also not good for health.

So my question is which oil do you all ladies use? Do you check if the oil is refined/unrefined?

I am trying to make healthy life choices so any help/input will be appreciated

I use extra light olive oil which you can buy in BJS and indian cooking is very good with it especially non veg cooking and it is very healthy less calories good for heart

hello
the best cooking oil is sunflower/saffola oil becuse it is good for health, tastes better than other oils,and idhayam nallennai is good too try using olive oil which less fat/saturated fatted acida.in case of using olive for indian better maintain the temperature of oils becos it gives bitter if u heat in high flame(for any oil medium heat is best)avoid using corn oil not good for health beco contains saturated fatty acis relativelly which is not good for health .....veg oils ,the consistency looks thin but its not good for health.

Hi all , I use canola & Olive oil .Canola oil is said to be better for health than vegetable oil ,remember reading it somewhere.
