Animal oil is obviously not a good choice for frying especially deep frying as it contains a lot of cholesterol which is bad for the health. That is why many people choose vegetable oil instead because it is the healthier option. There are many types of vegetable oil and each has its own health benefits.

When it comes to cooking oil, there are various factors to be in considered in choosing the best one for each type of frying. In deep frying, the factor to be greatly considered is the smoke point. A high smoke point would mean that it is far from the flash point, which is the point when the oil turns into flame. The higher the smoke point of the oil, the better it is for deep frying and most even say that the oil with the highest smoke point is the best oil for frying. Canola oils have this kind of quality. When it comes to sauteing, oils with lower smoke point might work such as butter. When frying, it also advisable to know about the flash and fire points so that you’re safety is secured when cooking.
