Cooking Oil Recipes

Cooking oil is a pantry essential used to sauté vegetables, sear proteins, roast potatoes, fry crispy foods, enrich baked goods, and build flavorful dressings and marinades. The best oil for a recipe depends on its flavor, smoke point, and how much heat the cooking method requires.

Neutral oils are ideal for stir-fries, skillet dinners, deep-frying, and baking when you do not want the oil to change the taste of the dish. More flavorful oils can add richness to pasta, grains, roasted vegetables, dips, and finishing sauces.

Keeping a few reliable cooking oils on hand makes weeknight cooking easier, whether you are crisping chicken cutlets, roasting vegetables, making pancakes, or whisking together a quick vinaigrette.
