Favorite neutral cooking oils

I have several cooking oils:

  • Light sesame oil (untoasted), coconut oil, peanut oil, mustard oil - for various regional Indian / other Asian dishes.
  • toasted sesame oil for Chinese
  • Olive oil for salad dressing and Mediterranean and some bakes.
  • Canola for deep frying (once in a while). Luckily we don’t find any off-taste in canola oil. I haven’t yet tried Sunflower oil for this.
  • Ghee for some applications
  • Butter for some dishes and baking.

I have not yet tried grapeseed or avocado oil. I read about Omega 3 vs Omega 6 but haven’t internalized (ha!) all the details. Some sources say that Canola oil, Olive oil, flaxseeds, walnuts, are good in this regard.
