As it is known, the oil of meals is so important at healthy nutrition. Which oil is used at your home while cooking?
I cook without oil and only little water. I never use butter in my bread.
Coconut oil! Coconut oil, being mainly a saturated fat, is able to withstand higher temperatures than other oils, making it one of the best oils for cooking.

I live in the world's biggest producer of olive oil, Spain. But it isn't such as easy thing to find the one I need. 1st pressure in cold can only be performed in old mills that works with winds and donkeys, not in the modern ones that popped up in Andalucia, and I want it pesticide-free and ecological because I used it everywhere, almost as a food-medicine. This ecological oil is also the most tasty one, but you can't cook with it. For cooking, I use a supermarket olive oil but in fact I eat fried things maybe once every three months. But I use crude olive oil on bread for breakfast.
Dear Fred Romano thanks for your answer, giving detailed information about olive oil and touching on the environmental problem. I would like to emphasize that there is a similar approach in our home about using olive oil.

Hi,
Oils rich in PUFAs are preferred. I use olive oil and rice bran oil for my food.
Dear Dewanand Makhan, I think your cooking practice is beyond my question. Very nice, congratulations.
Please follow the list containing composition of all edible oils at page 9 of the article to select the best cooking oil one for you.

Dear Ilhami Unluoglu I am 66 years, half and want be 100. Meat and fish have oil and why use? I never use oil in vegetable, only oinion, tomatoes and little salt.
I try to continue my life with Mediterranean style eating habits, I prefer olive oil for my meals.
Olive oil is one of the vegetable oils rich in unsaturated fats, which is among the most beneficial fats in terms of health.
Lots of whale oil in Ireland. You hear it all the time.
'Whale oil be off to the pub'; 'whale oil go to the shops';'whale oil be ready soon'
Dear Elif Fatma Özkan Pehlivanoğlu, Ali mohamed rashed and Alan F Rawle thanks for your answers.
My favorite for home cooking is olive oil and flaxseed oil because it contains the essential fatty acids, linolenic and linoleic scids
Type of dietary fat rather than amount is very important according to latest studies. Choosing the type depends on the type of cooking methods. For cooking, vegetable oils should be used without excessive heat exposure. As nutritionists, we care for the smoke points of oils. Oils with low degree of smoke points such as olive oil aren't suitable for heat and easily get oxidized. For this reason, it would be better to add oil with less duration of roasting process or after cooking the food. In daily diet, using mixture of different oils as sunflower, rapeseed etc. is a better choice. Olive oil should get the lead with appropriate usage.
I use palm oil or cottonseed oil or peanut oil or soybean oil. I consume what we produce locally!
I use rapeseed oil for cooking for the smoke point reasons described by Sedanur Macit
olive oil is nest due to very high mono unsaturated fatty acid content.
But oil with poly unsaturated fatty acids with high omega 3 and high omega 6 fatty acids should also be taken, as these are also very important for our health. FLaxseed oil, sunflower oil, almond oil are important for tis reason.
Hydrogenated oils like margarine, dalda, vanasppati etc. contain poisonous trans fats, so toxic to us. oils becoming solid at low temperature are with high % of saturated fats. IT is Nt requird to our body. Maximum intake limit is 13 gram per day for adult persons.
Alan F Rawle
Usually, I use Palm oil, Sunflower oil, Corn oil. Rarely Canola oil or Olive oil. I think that using one kind of cocking oil is not healthy. Then, I change the cocking oil regularly.

It depends a lot, here in Brazil, always we are instructed to use olive oil.... but the last news brought us the information that olive oil in fried food, is worst than using soy oil. In the way, that normally for cold foods we normally use olive oil, fried food soy and to chinese and japanese fried food... the sesame one.
Stefan Rüster
I change the oil in my deep fry unit after it has cooked 5000 French fries. Also change it to a thinner version in winter. Canola oil is wonderful to run my tractor.
Likewise I have a shower once a month whether I need to or not. Sometimes I will even use soap.
We never deep fry in oil. Sometimes a little fry (a few tens of seconds in a sparingly greased pan - for example, "blini" (which are difficult to discuss outside of Russia) or pancakes. But for this, there is enough traditional Russian sunflower oil. In addition, we use for salads olive oil (since I lived in Italy, I learned to understand its varieties). Everything else is for the car, as rightly noted...

Socks - only once a month? Wow! Mine can go for a quarter of a year without issue.
Depends on what you are cooking. I use palm oil for traditional African dishes, Sunflower oil for eggs, groundnut oil for stew and chicken, coconut oil for beans and yam.
Vad Pérez
Yes, my socks will stand on their own - and walk out the door before I can track them down. I usually stand them in the same liquid (coffee) that I can stand a spoon up in....
Alan F Rawle
20w50 is good for your car but not for cooking. You can use only acidic oils for cooking but not mineral oils. By the way, I am using acidic oils for making soap too.
Basheer Raddwan
You'll only know if 20w50 is good for cooking if you try it. A banana fritter is a good start.
Alan F Rawle
That sounds great. You could have a new patent. Go on, it is your idea. No body thinks about it before you.
I only use heat-resistant coconut oil for everything I fry (in my cast iron frying pan). Works perfectly. For a sprout salad (sunflower seeds, broccoli seeds, alfa-alfa) I add Colza oil (rich in Omega 3) and on top of my spelt- or full grain-pasta I prefer Moroccoan olive oil...getting hungry
Normally , only olive oil. I very rarely use others oils.
Dear Maurice Ekpenyong, Vad Pérez, Mahavir Balmukund Varma, Martin A M Gansinger and Rohit Manilal Parikh thanks for your answers.
Sunflower oil because it is a national production and cheap and healthy.

In my early days my mother used to cook with mustard oil. Now we use any of the three - mustard oil, soyabean oil or rice bran oil, mostly soyabean oil.
Grzegorz Boczkaj
I switch to 10W40 in winter. Good for cooking the goose.

You dish reminds me that I like children but I could never manage a whole one....

Given that this a research community, I feel we really need to go beyond brand names and include chemical formulas!!! Please follow IUPAC guidelines Let's be rigorous!!!
Just kidding.
