Thanks Pasha, that helped enormously
Hi. Just to point out that Canola oil is rapeseed oil. It's not liked in the USA because it's genetically modified in Canada (hence Canola). But the rapeseed oil we use in the UK isn't GM and is fine in small quantities. Personally, I always use butter for frying and rapeseed oil for roast veg (although I don't eat them myself).This is an old topic but it came up while I was googling so I really want to shed some light here, for any health reasons oils like Canola, Vegetable or rapeseed is terrible terrible terrible for your health. I can talk about this topic for hours on here because we keep finding more and more reasons why canola is bad for you, including almost assured heart disease after years of repeated use, but I'm just going to link 2 or 3 articles that really helped my understanding. Again, I know this is an old topic but this is pretty important and I was shocked to realise how many people still use Canola when it aggravates so many harmful and potentially deadly diseases. Both Rapeseed Oil and Canola Oil will have serious long term repercussions for those with Diabetes
These are a couple articles I like on the topic, there is a lot more research out there if you look for it but this puts down a general guideline as to why you need to be very picky with your oil choice. We switched a couple years ago since a few members of my family have various dietary limitations with Dad being a diabetic.
Edit: forum isn't letting me post links, so try a site like cookers .com.au or a health blog
Is lard OK? I haven't used it for years.I tend not to use oils so much now I use butter, Lard, goose fat and beef dripping mostly but do still use rapeseed, olive and sesame oil as well.
I’m massively allergic to the stuff too. I do use cold pressed (so unprocessed) rapeseed oil for high temperature cooking though.I HATE the yellow fields with a passion. I can feel them long before I see them affects my hayfever/asthma something terrible and gives me "tingly" lips
The Canola oil is highly heat processed and hydrogenated rapeseed oil, but cold pressed is literally just pressed from the seed and untreated, sort of the equivalent of extra virgin olive oil. They’re quite different.Hi. Just to point out that Canola oil is rapeseed oil. It's not liked in the USA because it's genetically modified in Canada (hence Canola).

I use it. Apparently it is high in monounsaturated fat and has a high smoke point.
One thing I have noticed since switching from rapeseed oil is that the cooker is much easier to clean - none of that horrible sticky residue. I don't know what that says about vegetable/seed oil health 'benefits'.
It depends if it is proper lard and not vegetable lard!Is lard OK? I haven't used it for years.
Thanks for this, i've only used olive oil...I have just changed the milk i use and it has rapeseed oil in it...very happy now...Thanks...x
