    Canola Oil

    Not sure where this belongs--but how many use it? Pls keep in mind the kitchen is not my fav. room. I can do anything with a potato (I"m Irish)--but after that I have questions. Soooo, I ran out of veg oil and wanted to make brownies. I asked some of my cooking friends if they ever used Olive Oil--variety of answers but it led to discussing all the diff kinds of oil. Canola came up and I asked what is a canola. No one knew. I figured if we knew where peanut oil, olive oil, etc came from, what about Canola. Sooo--I googled it,. I don't think I'll ever buy it or use it. I didn't like what I read. Does anyone know about it???

    I use canola oil most of the time for all cooking/baking except occasional olive oil. But if you tell us what you found out, I could be persuaded to change...lol

    I have to replace all butter and soya oil from my little girl food and the Canola oil is what is most recommand by dietician. The tast is less strong then olive oil. If you do a cake it gonna tast olive oil but with canola it will be better. It's better for health and brain development then most of other kind of oil according to them! I don't know if it helps.

    I have always heard that canola oil is better for you than vegetable oil. I use it in place of vegetable oil all the time. never noticed a difference.

    Well, I'll stick with my Extra Virgin Olive...Canola comes from the Rape seed, mustard family, highly toxic plant...When made into oil it is processed and refined, but there is always the knowledge of the toxins?

    You are totally correct Traci.
    Actually Canola Oil is a vegetable oil.
    Vegetable Oil is a generic term and often includes oil from many different plants. IE Corn, Peanuts, Soybean, Safflower, Sunflower, Rape Seed etc.

    Canola Oil has been highly recommended by doctors as a replacement for the older vegetable oils that most of us use for cooking.

    The idea that it contains toxins is an "urban myth" - just look it up on the Snopes site and you can read all about it.

    Re: Canola Oil

    Interesting thread. I use canola oil for cooking when I don't want the flavor of olive oil. I sometimes use butter. I don't use any margarine, shortening, or vegetable oil.
