Choose oils with a high smoke point like sunflower, canola, or rice bran oil. They can tackle high heat and keep your dishes crispy without burning.

Use light oils like sesame oil or olive oil for medium-heat cooking. They add a subtle flavour to your dishes without overpowering them.

For baking, use neutral oils like refined coconut or grapeseed oil. They blend easily into your baked goods without altering their taste.

For dips and salads, use cold-pressed oils like extra virgin olive oil or flaxseed oil. These can help retain nutrients and add a rich, fresh flavour.
