Crisco Canola Oil 2 Litre $6 @ Coles

170

Half price for this week on coles, works out to be a bit cheaper than colesworth home brand canola oil

I mainly bought it for ease of storage and pouring, you maybe able to find some other brand cheaper on asian / local grocery stores but if you have none nearby then go for it

      It looks like Pineapple juice at the first glance!

    Also same price at Amazon

    Not sure if I would trust oil being delivered though.

  • Perfect for breakfast. Apple Juice

    After reading all the horrible articles and posts in Ozbargain about Canola oil and its impact on health, I now only buy olive oil and rice bran oil for the occasional deep frying.

      Yep, rice bran oil for us too as most of our cooking involves high temperatures.

      • +8

        I suppose it will remain like this till there are horrible news about rice bran oil too ! :(

          Isn’t rice bran oil extracted with hexane and full with PUFAs? Same as canola and sunflower oil? Not sure if it’s much better.

    • +1

      Slightly better, but its the oil-derived-from-plants part thats really the problem.

      If you do a lot of frying, you could try looking into lard. It's more expensive but that's what they used to use before canola

      Interesting, one study suggested canola oil ingested by mice resulted in reduced memory: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5719422/

      And one study suggested extra virgin oil consumption improved memory in mice: https://content.iospress.com/articles/journal-of-alzheimers-…

      Guess I'll switch over to extra virgin and see for myself.

    • For my wok cooking I always use vegetable oil. Not sure about health, but I know it is easy to burn and that makes the flavour pretty rancid. Curious if there are better options. I tried peanut oil, didn't like it much and it is more expensive.

      • Olive oil, Rice bran or Avocado if you have a high oil budget.

      • Peanut oil popular in Asia. Is it worse than canola?

      Nothing better than Lard.
      If not it just non-halal.

      • Tallow is the other option.

    • Not an expert into this, but the whole articles outside ozbargain says Canola oil is good for 'high heat' frying (webmd, spruceeats).

      as per ChatGPT "Smoke Point: Canola oil has a high smoke point (around 400°F/204°C), which makes it stable for high-heat cooking methods like deep frying. Oils with high smoke points are less likely to degrade and produce harmful compounds at high temperatures"

      I'm not supporting anything, but there is lot of confusion regarding oils. Also if you eat outside, it is guaranteed that the restraunts use cheaper and re-used oil anyway.

    Toxic seed oils, pure garbage.

      So you Don't use canola or vegetable oil yourself and never eat out???

        dude's comment history is all over pizza hut posts lmao

        but nah better avoid the 'toxic seed oils'

      • +2

        I know you think 'seed oils' is just another conspiracy because it is being spread by the 'wrong' people but you only doing yourself harm by not investigating it yourself.

        It is the cumulative consumption of seed oils that is causing the high rates of cardiovascular disease and stroke, it is not toxic in a single serve.

        The fatty acids found in seeds are structurally different to animal sources, but similar enough that they are taken up during digestion, transported through your bloodstream (as cholesterol) and form part of your fat stores.

        The problem is they liable to degrade and fracture in your body, in a similar way to how they are liable to degrade into proven carcinogens when heated. It is not high cholesterol that forms atherosclerotic plaques, rancid cholesterol molecules form atherosclerotic plaques.

        The idea that seed oils (polyunsaturated fatty acids) are better for your health is due to a curiosity that their consumption will lower your HDL cholesterol levels, and high levels of HDL cholesterol are associated with atherosclerosis. But it was not possible in the 1950s to study what is inside those cholesterol molecules.

  • Mustard, Sunflower, peanut, olive and Desi ghee in most Indian households.

  • theyre very good. as a machine lubricant. dont feed machine oil to ur kids :>

    And put up the price on cheese from $9.50 -> $13.95. Which sucks.

  • We have been buying grapeseed oil. I would not change that . I tried the olive oil for a while. Switched to GrapeSeed

    • +2

      Grapeseed oil is worse than canola, almost entirely omega 6, highly sensitive to heat degradation. The high price you pay is irrelevant

  • Is it true the 50% off at supermarkets is actually not 50% off?

    • You wouldn't want our CEO's to starve would you? WOULD YOU!?

    • I can believe that it's not.

  • At my local woolworths they are $4 on clearance
