Cold Pressed Cooking Oils
I will be focusing on cooking oil that is cold pressed. I know that most of us hear cooking oil and think vegetable, canola or olive oil. I have since moved on from all but the olive oil. I still can't give up my extra virgin olive oil.
If you're looking for different varieties of oil then you should learn more about how they are made and refined. Or as I prefer unrefined. It'll be an eye opener.

Why Use Cold Pressed Cooking Oils?
When you use high heat when extracting oil you will lose most of the flavor and take away some of the nutritional value. Personally I didn't even know oil had flavor until I started using extra virgin olive oil. It's amazing what a difference that makes over the bland oils that most households use.
So why would a company use heat to extract oil knowing that you'll get an inferior product? Well because using heat increases the yield. It's not to say that you shouldn't buy oil that isn't cold pressed, but why wouldn't you? Well most would stay away from it because it has a higher cost, and with the economy being the way it is right now most families can't afford to splurge on oil.

Cold Pressed Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Oil Cold Pressed is a better alternative.
We use olive oil for just about everything we make. I even use it to make homemade pizza. This is far more superior than the regular cooking oils. Try using extra virgin olive oil instead of canola or vegetable oil and see if you can taste the difference.
