Which is the MOST healthy oil to use for cooking?
Which is the MOST healthy oil to use for salads?

I mostly use PAM but I find when I am cooking fish, it doesn't work very well. I am a newbie cooker here so don't break on me!

Re: The skinny on cooking oil and other oils...

I use olive oil for cooking, or sometime vegetable oil. If I am cooking something mushy, then sometimes I'll add a little more water and less oil than recipe calls for.

I think safflower is supposed to be the best for cooking. And, OO for salads and/or cooking.

Re: The skinny on cooking oil and other oils...

You can buy olive oil spray. It comes in a can just like PAM. Maybe that would work better.

Re: The skinny on cooking oil and other oils...

olive oil is the best for salads.. you should use a first cold pressed olive oil for salad- doesnt' cook well because it has a high burn rate... and loses flavor- it's the kind that looks green..

I take it corn oil, canola oil (not sure on this ones name) is no good? GREAT what FH's mom uses to cook with!
