Vegetable Oil
« on: December 08, 2010, 10:39 PM »
Hi all

Just a quick question about what brands of vegetable oil people on here are using when cooking. I use Pride vegetable oil but off the top of my head I've seen takeaways use Olympus vegetable oil also KTC, i feel these brands are better for Indian cooking and I'd just like to know what other people's take on this is.

Cheers...

Asda's own brand, I personally don't really believe it matters which brand is used.

I used too use Crisp&Dry and found a notable difference when i switched to the Pride brand and because these brands also make Ghee i feel they are made for Indian cooking.

I bought a massive box of KTC. It's cheap and used in a lot of BIR's.

I just use supermarket "own brand" veg oil. I don't think different brands would make much difference - it's what gets cooked in it that counts :)
