We always make use of cooking oil whenever we fry, saute, barbecue or grill foods. I use vegetable oil for this purpose just as my mother did. There are some I know who are using butter or other grease for their food. So what do you prefer?

It depends on what it's being used for. If I am frying something, I use canola oil, not butter. If I am baking, I use butter (prefer it to margarine).

Often when I saute, I use a combination, depending on what I'm cooking. Again, there's no right or wrong answer.

We usually stick to olive oil or vegetable oil, but I like to make fried potatoes in bacon grease and eggs also.

We usually only use Olive Oil. The only time that we will use another type of grease or oil is if we did bacon or sausage to give gravy or potatoes flavor.

I usually use butter in baking and olive oil in sauteing, Crisco is used when frying chicken because it needs a high cooking temp.
