Some of the ways you can use this oil include:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Shallow_Or_Deep_Frying\"><\/span><strong>Shallow Or Deep Frying<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Canola oil can also be used when deep frying <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/lemongrass-tea-benefits-side-effects\/\">foods<\/a>. Because it has a high smoke point, you can use it to cook foods without worrying about them burning or getting ruined from the heat.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sauteing_And_Stir_Frying\"><\/span><strong>Sauteing And Stir Frying<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like when deep frying, sauteing or stir frying foods can also be done with canola oil. Because it has a neutral flavor, it won&#8217;t affect the taste of your food like other oils might.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On top of that, you don&#8217;t need to use much when cooking; just add in enough to coat your pan or skillet.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Salad_Dressings_And_Marinades\"><\/span><strong>Salad Dressings And Marinades<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When used in salad dressings and marinades, canola oil adds a creamy texture with a subtle nutty flavor. It also helps to tenderize meats while adding flavor.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Baking\"><\/span><strong>Baking<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can also use canola oil in baked goods, especially if you&#8217;re looking to cut down on saturated fat. Because it has a mild flavor, it won&#8217;t alter the taste of your recipe. Plus, studies have shown that replacing butter with canola oil helps reduce calories without sacrificing <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/cherries-nutrition-facts\/\">texture or taste<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Read More:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/canola-oil-vs-vegetable-oil-calories-benefits-side-effects\/\">Canola Oil Vs Vegetable Oil Facts, Calories, Health Benefits And Side Effects<\/a><\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/first-page-generated?flow=2228&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Canola_Oil_Nutrition_Facts\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-42131 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Frame-5837-1024x576.png\" alt=\"BetterMe\" width=\"770\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Frame-5837.png 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Frame-5837-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Frame-5837.png 768w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Frame-5837-1636x920.png 1636w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Frame-5837.png 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Canola_Oil_Recipes\"><\/span><strong>Canola Oil Recipes<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that you know the benefits and potential risks, we&#8217;ll show you how to incorporate this oil into your cooking and recipes:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"In_Easy_Chicken_Curry_4\"><\/span><strong>In Easy Chicken Curry (<a href=\"https:\/\/cooking.nytimes.com\/recipes\/6393-easy-chicken-curry?action=click&amp;module=Tag%20Page%20Recipe%20Card&amp;region=canola%20oil&amp;pgType=tag&amp;rank=5\">4<\/a>)<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Weeknight cooking doesn\u2019t get any simpler than this 30-minute curry.
