If you love cooking and experimenting with different flavors, oils and vinegars can be a great way to add depth and complexity to your dishes. Here are some tips for cooking with different types of oils and vinegars:

  • Extra virgin olive oil: This oil has a low smoke point and is best used for sautéing, dressing salads and as a finishing oil on soups or grilled vegetables.
  • Canola oil: This oil has a high smoke point and is great for high-heat cooking like stir-frying or pan-frying.
  • Peanut oil: This oil also has a high smoke point and is ideal for deep frying or stir-frying.
  • Coconut oil: This oil is solid at room temperature and is a great vegan substitute for butter. It's also great for baking and sautéing.
  • Balsamic vinegar: This vinegar is great for marinades, dressings, and as a finishing touch on roasted vegetables.
  • Red wine vinegar: This vinegar is best used for making vinaigrettes, marinades, and sauces.
  • Apple cider vinegar: This vinegar is a great substitute for lemon juice and can be used in dressings, marinades, and sauces.

Remember to always taste your food as you cook and adjust the seasoning as necessary. Happy cooking!
