When cooking, vegetable oil can be heated in a pan to fry or sauté foods. It is also used as a liquid component in batters for baked goods like muffins and breads, helping to create a tender crumb. For dressings, it emulsifies with other ingredients to create a smooth consistency. Its high smoke point makes it suitable for deep frying, allowing foods to cook evenly without burning.
