Cooking oil

[Liver78]

Any recommendations for cooking oil for hot food? I'm currently using sunflower and Olive oil?

I use Rapeseed. Very high smoke point and no taste unlike many others.

Hi, I use the same as you, but when cooking curries I use chilli infused olive oil, or sesame seed oil For Thai dishes (lovely flavours)

Thanks for your comments - but which one (cooking oil) is least harmful for liver and other cardio vascular health issues. I'm currently using sunflower - OK?

We use cold press Rapeseed oil, cheapest place is ALDI £ 1.35 27p per 100ml

Olive oil ( extra virgin or coldpressed pref organic ) is the best. Please Do not use rapeseed oil, otherwise known as canola in the U.S it is well dodgy especially if your health is compromised. You can research it yourself on youtube or online. Amoung other things Rapeseed or Canola is the most heavily Genetically modified crops, it is proven to turn rancid easily thus causing inflammation. The oil itself is made by adding chemicals, lye, and it is also degummed, and bleached!. I cauld go on but i,m sure you get the picture by now !. Please check it out for yourself ☺

Thank you - I've heard Olive oil to be best for cold salad dressings but no so much for cooking?

P.s....while sunflower is not as bad as rapeseed it is best to avoid processed vegetable oils such as, corn, soy, sunflower especially if you have cardiovascular concerns as I do as well as my liver issues. As well as being infused with petroleum chemical products during oil extraction, these genetically modified crops have most of the good nutrition destroyed by the high temperatures required for the process. The very best oil i believe is organic cold pressed olive oil, at a pinch i will personally use a pure fat such as ghee, or coconut oil. I know it is more expensive but your health is worth it. As i mentioned there are some good videos on cooking oils, good and bad on youtube. Best wishes to you, please let me know how you,re getting on. m.b. 😊😃

Saturated fats have had a bad press over the past 30 years or so. But some diet advisers are now changing their opinions.

Butter, with a dash of olive oil to resist "burning", may be considered a good frying medium.

I have read advice not to heat vegetable oils to high temperatures, especially any made from seeds, because the chemical transformation that results produces harmful aldehydes. I'm not a chemist so can't vouch for the truth of this.

There's a lot published that stresses that eating fat doesn't make you fat - but that's another issue.

Hello, use an extra virgin olive oil. It's nutritious and good for health. In this artcile you can find more benfits: essentials.bertolli.com/oli...
