Questions about Canola vegetable oil

Can you use canola vegetable oil for frying?

Yes. It has a mild flavour and works well for shallow-frying, roasting and everyday cooking; for deep-frying, heat it to about 175–180 °C and avoid letting it smoke.

Can you bake with canola vegetable oil instead of butter?

Yes: use it in cakes, muffins and quick breads where melted fat is called for. As a rough guide, replace 100 g butter with about 80 g oil, and expect less buttery flavour and a softer crumb.

Does canola vegetable oil need to be refrigerated after opening?

No. Keep the bottle tightly closed in a cool, dark cupboard, away from the hob and sunlight. Use it within the period stated on the bottle; discard it if it develops a stale, paint-like or rancid smell.

What is the difference between canola vegetable oil and rapeseed oil?

Canola oil is made from selected varieties of rapeseed bred for food use; the name comes from “Canadian oil, low acid”. The oils are very similar in everyday cooking, though “canola” is more common on some labels.

Is canola vegetable oil the same as a canola and soybean oil blend?

No. A canola and soybean blend contains both oils, while canola vegetable oil is canola oil alone. The blend may taste and behave similarly in cooking, but its proportions depend on the product.

Can you substitute canola vegetable oil for olive oil?

You can use it in a one-for-one swap for baking, roasting or frying when you want a neutral taste. In dressings or dips, olive oil brings a more distinctive flavour, so the finished dish will taste different.

Is canola vegetable oil a source of vitamin E?

Yes. A 100 g amount contains 17.5 mg of vitamin E, but oil is usually used by the spoonful rather than eaten in that quantity.

What kind of fat is in canola vegetable oil?

It is mostly unsaturated fat, including monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, with a smaller amount of saturated fat: 7.4 g per 100 g. It contains 100 g of fat per 100 g.
