Questions about Corn oil
Is corn oil suitable for frying?
Yes. Its high smoke point—typically around 230°C for refined corn oil—makes it useful for frying; heat it until shimmering, not smoking, and keep the food dry to reduce splattering.
Can you use corn oil for baking?
Yes: its mild flavour works well in cakes, muffins and quick breads. Replace melted butter with about three-quarters as much corn oil, but remember that oil will not provide butter’s solid texture or flavour.
Can you use corn oil in salad dressing?
Yes. Its neutral taste lets vinegar, lemon, mustard and herbs stand out; whisk one part vinegar or lemon juice with about three parts corn oil for a simple dressing.
How should you store corn oil?
Keep the bottle tightly closed in a cool, dark cupboard, away from the oven and direct sunlight. Refrigeration is unnecessary, and can make the oil cloudy or thick; discard it if it develops a stale, paint-like smell.
Can you reuse corn oil after frying?
You can reuse it if it has not smoked or become dark, sticky or strongly scented. Let it cool, strain out crumbs through a fine sieve, then store it covered; do not mix it with fresh oil or keep using it once its smell or appearance changes.
Can you substitute corn oil for olive oil?
Use corn oil when you want a neutral flavour for frying or baking, but it will not give a dish the fruity or peppery character of olive oil. Both provide 100 g fat per 100 g; olive oil has 60.2 µg vitamin K per 100 g, compared with 1.9 µg in corn oil.
What kind of fat is in corn oil?
Corn oil is mostly unsaturated fat, especially linoleic acid, an omega-6 polyunsaturated fat; it also contains some monounsaturated fat. Its saturated fat is 13 g per 100 g.
Does corn oil contain vitamin E?
Yes. Corn oil is high in vitamin E, with 14.3 mg per 100 g; a tablespoon provides roughly 1.9 mg.
