Cooking with Canola


Due to its light flavor and smooth texture, canola oil is one of the most versatile cooking oils. You can use it in a number of dishes and cooking methods.

Here are a few ideas for cooking with canola oil:

• Use as a cooking oil for sauteing, stir-frying, grilling, and baking.

• Add it to salad dressings, sauces, and marinades.

• Use it to coat your pans for nonstick baking.
