Guest guest Posted October 27, 2003 Report Share Posted October 27, 2003 I was just wondering what kind of oils any of you keep around and possible uses for them. Like would vegetable oil be more versatile then say peanut oil or canola oil? And I've heard a lot of talk about Flaxseed and I saw the flaxseed oil and wondered what that's good for.

Guest guest Posted October 28, 2003 Report Share Posted October 28, 2003 I choose different oils based on what I'm cooking. Some oils are unstable at high temperatures. If I make stir-fry, I fry in peanut oil and then season with sesame oil at the end. If I'm making a dressing for a veggie sub, I'll use extra virgin olive oil. For lightly spraying a pan for something like a veggie burger, I'll use canola oil. Experiment with different types of oils. They all have unique flavors that can do wonders for food. As for flaxseed oil, I haven't been able to get my hands on any in my local area. But I believe most vegans use it because it's rich in the Omega-3s that omnis get from fish.

Guest guest Posted October 28, 2003 Report Share Posted October 28, 2003 Hi Paul, Flaxseed is very good for you because it contains Omega3 and Omega 6 essential fatty acids. I have never used the oil before though. I usually use olive oil when cooking, stir-frying, baking etc. Alot of times I will also mix in chili flavored sesame oil. nikki , Paul <nospam@u...> wrote: > I was just wondering what kind of oils any of you keep around and possible > uses for them.

Guest guest Posted October 28, 2003 Report Share Posted October 28, 2003 Many people like flax seed oil on salads. Remember, it has to be refrigerated all the time and it goes off rather easily and therefore gets to taste a bit, well, off - rancid even :=( It's not to be used for cooking - that is, not heated up. I use canola oil, sesame oil, and olive oil. I generally keep in peanut oil too, for stirfries, but I am currently trying (heavens know why) to prune my pantry down to workable size.
