Many bottles of safflower, sunflower oil and peanut have been stocked in the kitchen by most homeowners. However, they only need 3 to cover their bases. All kitchens need oil for salad dressing, dipping crusty bread and pan-frying. Does every kitchen need a bottle of peanut, grapeseed, vegetable oil, olive, sesame, and safflower? According to Yahoo! Food, kitchen does not have to provide a bottle of each. In fact, there are just 3 forms of oils that kitchens absolutely need. These three oils are cited by Rhoda Boone, a food editor.
The first oil is the olive oil used for cooking. Rhoda stated that it is a great way of adding subtle flavor to whatever food is being cooked. It is ideal for vegetables, baking cakes, roasting meat, and sautéing. Another important oil that every kitchen should have is the vegetable oil which is used for frying. Rhoda added that kitchens must have an oil with a high smoke point. It does impart bad taste and it is unhealthy to consume.
Wellness Mama explained that vegetable oils differ from coconut oil or butter due to the reason that it cannot be extracted by simply separating naturally or pressing. These are extracted from different seeds such as soybean (soybean oil), corn, rapeseed (canola oil) and safflower. These should be deodorized, altered and chemically removed. Practically, these are found in processed foods, from mayo to salad dressing to conventional seeds and nuts. These are manufactured in factories.
The third and final cooking oil needed in all kitchens is the olive oil for drizzling. Rhoda said that the cool thing about olive oils is that their characteristics vary from region to region just like win. Thus, they taste quite different. The most ideal choice is the California Olive Ranch Limited Reserve as is Lucini Premium Select Extra Virgin.
