Cooking oil is a fundamental component and a vital ingredient in many culinary endeavors. It is a versatile liquid derived from plant and animal sources, such as soybeans, corn, canola, and sunflowers. Cooking oils are indispensable in various cooking techniques, such as frying, sautéing, baking, and salad dressing preparation. Its primary function is to act as a medium for transferring heat during cooking, ensuring food is evenly cooked and preventing it from sticking to cookware. Cooking oil also imparts flavor and texture to dishes, enhancing their palatability. It contributes to the creation of crispy and golden textures in fried foods. Cooking oils offer numerous health benefits as they contain essential fatty acids like omega-3 and omega-6, which are vital for overall well-being. These oils also contain fat-soluble vitamins like A, D, and E. Cooking oils possess unique properties, including smoke points that determine their suitability for various cooking methods and distinctive flavors that complement or dominate a dish.
