    I use lard, bacon drippings, other drippings rendered from whatever meat was last cooked.

    Avocado oil is my only go to cooking oil, other than animal fats and butter. I do keep olive oil to save a little money, when making mayo.

    Oh, and coconut oil to go with the butter, in the bulletproof coffee.

    I gave up on seed oils and anything they get used in going on five years ago. You really have to be mindful of prepared foods, as a lot of them have the bad oils as an ingredient.

    The chemical extraction part of this is the use of hexane, a really volatile hydrocarbon solvent that gets recycled in the process.

    You can heat most any plant oil with the right catalyst to increase it's saturation, but that isn't done for everything.

    I use canola oil as it performs well and gives me no stomach upset like soybean oil does. I like olive oil as well but it's a lot more expensive.

    Olive or coconut oil for cooking and baking. Peanut oil for frying. Have not used anything else in over 20 years

    I tried peanut oil, it gave me quicker results as I could deep fry at higher temps. It gave both the gardener and me that "fried food" after effect so we went back to canola and cooked longer at a lower temperature.

    EVOO strictly for cooking but coconut oil is used by my old lady to make her brownies. We don't deep fry very often except when I'm frying chicken then that is lard.

    Don’t care, as long as it doesn’t make my food taste bad.

    I do use bacon grease a lot. But I’m not a chef either.

    I like that stuff in a spray can.

    I was raised on a farm in Massachusetts when I was growing up we usually just cooked down pig fat and made lard I still make it to this day. Good thing is it's actually good for you healthier than cooking with butter you can also put food in a jar pour lard in to encapsulate the meat to preserve it.

    Yes seed oils are bad for your health as stated in the article. They are a main ingredient in making cheap processed foods you see in boxes and eat at many restaurants, especially fast food.

    I only use full synthetic 5w30 its healthier for my arteries
    Yes, better than a straight weight oil because the polymer chains function like fiber in your diet. If you want even more help in that area try an 0w40. And non-synthetic has more polymer chains. Oh, but if all you want is the polymer chains, just get s bottle of the STP oil treatment. Its loaded with them.

    This is exactly the sort of useful and topical information that keeps me coming back to INGO.

    Does anyone know if you can get STP in French Vanilla?
