Cooking oil is a must-have in any kitchen. It’s essential for most stove-cooked dishes since it prevents food from sticking or burning on metal surfaces. Cooking oil boosts the fat content of meals, making food more filling and infusing it with extra flavor. There are many different types of cooking oils out there, and picking the best one for your meal can be a tricky decision.
One of the most popular cooking oils is olive oil, which has a light flavor. It’s rich in antioxidants and is considered to be the healthiest and most versatile of cooking oils. Refined sesame oil is another healthy option full of antioxidants and adds a slightly stronger flavor than olive oil. Its high smoke point makes it ideal for sautéed dishes as well as high-temperature stir-frying.
Another oil that offers a subtle yet distinct flavor is coconut oil. It is fattier, which means it contains more saturated fat. It’s a great substitute for other oils because it can be used in a huge variety of dishes. It’s also an excellent choice for baking. Another common cooking oil is peanut oil, which has a medium-high smoke point and is great for deep-frying and stir- frying. Peanut oil also works well in large-batch frying, which is why it is very prominent in the fast-food industry.
Then there is canola oil, a generic vegetable oil developed in Canada in the 1970s. It is usually less fatty than other cooking oils. This makes it a great choice for people trying to lose weight.
While some oils may be better for certain dishes, there’s never really a wrong option. Cooking is a creative art, and there’s nothing wrong with experimenting with different oils to find the perfect taste for your dish.
