How people cook with it

For deep frying, it can withstand higher temperatures, creating a crisp exterior on foods. It is a simple, effective cooking medium for many dishes.

How to keep the rest
To maintain its quality, store the bottle of canola oil in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the cap is tightly sealed after each use to prevent oxidation and preserve its freshness. Properly stored, it can be kept for an extended period.
