How people cook with it

When cooking, heat a suitable amount of oil in a pan or pot over medium heat. Add your ingredients and cook as directed. For baking, oil is often incorporated into batters and doughs to add moisture and tenderness. It can also be used to grease baking pans, ensuring that baked goods release easily. The amount of oil used will vary depending on the specific recipe and desired outcome. Always use caution when working with hot oil.
