How people cook with it

- Frying foods
- Baking cakes
- Making salad dressings
- Sautéing vegetables
This oil can be used for high-heat cooking methods like frying and sautéing because it has a relatively high smoke point. It is also a good choice for baking, where its neutral taste will not interfere with the flavors of other ingredients. When making dressings or marinades, it can be emulsified with other liquids to create a smooth consistency. It is also suitable for general cooking applications where a neutral oil is preferred.

Compared to oils like olive oil, soybean oil has a more neutral flavor profile. This makes it a better choice when you want the taste of your other ingredients to be the focus. Its smoke point is also generally higher than extra virgin olive oil, making it more suitable for certain high-heat cooking methods.
