There are so many cooking oils on the market–where do people even start. The best place to start is deciding what people would use the oil for. For a lighter taste, Extra virgin olive oil would be good for salads and pastas. If someone is cooking with it, they would want a higher smoke point like Canola. Roasting vegetables is really good when using Olive Oil or Ghee. Canola oil works beautifully when baking as it has a neutral taste to begin with.

Key Takeaways:

• A smoking point refers to the point at which an oil if heated for longer will start to smoke.
• For the purpose of frying foods, oils with a smoking point of over 220 degrees centigrade should be used.
• For salads it’s a good idea to use less refined oils, like extra virgin olive oil, or extra virgin coconut oil.
