I get the LouAnna brand of coconut oil at Wallie and cook with that. I think olive oil can be used if you are sauteeing, but not high heat frying.

i don't have a wallie's where i live. what about crisco oil?

COCOJ · 06-10-2009, 01:05 PM

actually i meant to say what about cooking with pure lard?

CarolynF · 06-10-2009, 03:01 PM

That's fine..Lard..

I don't think crisco is so great to cook with.

I use peanut oil, sunflower oil or olive oil and i am satisfied with it.

I use Spectrum non-hydrogenated palm oil for a solid shortening, macadamia nut oil for a liqiud and butter. Lard is also a good choice. I also have cold expeller pressed coconut oil and the plain stuff coconut oil. Boy, I have a lot of fat!
