Frequently asked questions

  • What types of oil are most commonly used in cooking?

    Common cooking oils include vegetable oil, olive oil, canola oil, peanut oil, sunflower oil, and coconut oil.

  • What is the smoke point of oil and why does it matter?

    The smoke point is the temperature at which oil starts to smoke. Cooking with oil past its smoke point can negatively affect flavor and release harmful compounds.

  • Which oil is the healthiest for frying?

    Oils with high smoke points and healthy fats such as avocado oil or peanut oil are among the best for frying.

  • What's the best oil for baking?

    Neutral oils like canola, vegetable, or light olive oil work well in most baking recipes.

  • How long does cooking oil last after opening?

    Most oils last from 6 months to a year after opening if stored properly, but always check for changes in smell or appearance.

  • What can I do with leftover used oil?

    Cool and strain then reuse for similar cooking tasks, or dispose of it properly—never pour it down the drain.

  • Can I mix different types of oils for cooking?

    Yes, you can mix oils to combine flavors or achieve a higher smoke point for certain cooking methods.

  • Where can I buy oil?

  • How should cooking oil be stored?

    Store oil in a cool, dark place in a tightly sealed container to preserve freshness and prevent rancidity.

  • Can you reuse cooking oil?

    You can reuse certain oils a few times if they're strained and stored properly, but discard if the oil smells rancid or looks dark and sticky.

  • How can I tell if my oil has gone bad?

    Spoiled oil may have a rancid, bitter, or soapy smell, or appear cloudy and thick.

  • Can I substitute butter with oil in recipes?

    Yes, in many recipes you can substitute butter with oil. Use about 3/4 the amount of oil as would be used for butter.

  • Is it necessary to keep oil in the refrigerator?

    Most oils don’t require refrigeration, but oils with high polyunsaturated fat (like flaxseed or walnut oil) should be refrigerated.

  • How much oil should I use for sautéing?

    Usually, 1 to 2 tablespoons of oil is enough for sautéing most vegetables or proteins in a standard-sized pan.
