For regular pan and stir fry, I use Olive or more lately, coconut oil.


The man I buy my coconut oil from would scream. Last time I bought it I
got a free lecture on how heating the oil will make it not as healthy. I
use cold pressed. I don't tell him how I use it....A bit of oil in the
bottom of a cup. Stir small amount of cocoa powder into the oil. Add
hot coffee, sugar and cream.....mmmmmmm.

Or as oil in the pan for making pancakes. Also replace butter in
chocolate cookies.


Meh, coconut oil has a high smoke point and a sweet flavor so is
seriously suitable as a cooking oil.

When I'm going for the health benefits of specific oils, I'll steam
veggies then coat them lightly with the uncooked oil before adding my
spices.

And yes, I actually do do that. ;-) With Olive, Coconut and Grape Seed.
