I only have olive oil (and some sesame oil from nissin ramen packets left over)

They say olive oil is healthy but i often wonder about
peanut: good for.. which dish? tadtional chinese dishes have nice aroma?
canola: no idea when to use this. deep frying?
lard: good for char kueh teow? malaysian hawker food?
ghee: dont know what this is
other types?

how about you? what types do you have in your kitchen and whic his healthiest/tastiest?

extra virgin olive oil - i like Monini for cooking
peanut oil for stir fry - i try to find the ones from China or HK (can use with high flame w/o burning)
safflower oil - in case i run out of peanut oil
walnut oil - for making vinaigrettes
rapeseed oil - to fry delicate items like tempura
corn oil - to fry normal items
toasted sesame oil - for marinades; i use Kadoya

we usually use the veggie one cuz its not as bad as the olove oil one but we do use olive oil when we have to make something that requires that kinda oil. yea its wierd but some foof will taste differently if u dont use olive oil.

isnt there virgin oil too? is that better than olive oil?

[_ambrosia]

we have vegetable oil, olive oil, peanut oil, canola, and i think that's it. i dunno what my dad uses them for, but he's been using olive oil a lot more nowadays because it's healthier

[busagiboo]

I have sesame oil, vegetable oil, and canola oil in my kitchen. I also have a small bottle of olive oil (infused with white truffles) that I brought back from Italy, but my mom hasn't used it and isn't going to anytime soon.

[hellomelia]

[bluenette]

My mom uses corn and vegetable oil. She sometimes drizzle some olive oil on fish that already had been cooked. I also like seasame oil as flavoring on vegetables (especially gai-lan, a Chinese vegetable), and ramen.

[PINKXDREAMER]

my mom recently brought home like... grape seed oil. it's supposed to be healthier and smell nicer.

[ephemeral.]

At home, we only use olive oil.
Currently, we have extra virgin olive oil. o.o;
It's healthy, I believe.

[dahanizzle]

Olive oil for cooking in terms of pan frying/saute/stir fry (Extra virgin for salad dressings)

Canola Oil for baking/deep frying/rarely salad dressings when the flavor of the oil should not be so dominant

and ghee is butter basically and it's used in Indian cooking. I forgot how its made but its something like you cook down the butter so that it actually seperates and you use one of the layers
