How people cook with it

- Dressings
When cooking, canola oil can be heated in a pan for sautéing vegetables or searing meats. Its neutral taste means it will not overpower the flavors of your ingredients. For baking, it can be used in place of butter or other fats to create moist cakes and tender pastries. It is also a good choice for pan-frying or deep-frying foods, as its high smoke point helps prevent burning. You can also whisk it into homemade salad dressings for a smooth consistency.
