Cooking Oils

What This Is

For the beginning or novice chef, the idea of cooking oils can be confusing. This is because of the large variety of oil used for cooking across various styles of cooking and the fact that every person you ask will have a different preference about which kind of oil to use in a given pot or pan for almost any task.

That confusion is what will bring you here, where I will show you as many different types of oil that I can find and all the special properties that make them worth having around. I'll also make an attempt to show the dishes that they would most commonly be used in, but I hope to get some help from the community for pointing out some interesting and unusual uses for the different oils.
