• The extra virgin olive oil I use in so much, it's my go to oil for stir fry etc.-very healthy oil.
• The Avocado oil is excellent in vinaigrette's, but I love it on a large prime rib roast with herbs.
• Hazelnut oil adds a nice nutty touch to recipes for baked goods, pancakes, etc.
• The Chili oil is best in Kung Pao chicken or adding a small amount with other less strong oils.
• Canola oil is another healthy choice, can take high temperatures without burning, good deep frying choice.
• Peanut oil is a good frying oil too, but some recipes, it can have too strong a flavor, so Canola is best there, for example, crab is too delicate, and would be lost in peanut oil.
