We Tested 4 Popular Cooking Oils — Here’s the Best

Which cooking oil should you actually use? Olive oil, avocado oil, coconut oil or palm oil? With so much conflicting advice online about cooking oils, it can be difficult to know what actually makes sense in a real kitchen. In this episode of Meals & Banters, we put four popular seed-oil alternatives to the test and compare them based on: 🫒 Cooking performance 🥑 Nutrition 🍳 Heat and frying 💰 Price 🍴 Flavour 🧑‍🍳 Everyday versatility We look at olive oil, avocado oil, coconut oil and palm oil and ultimately rank them from #1 to #4. But there's a catch... The "best" oil isn't necessarily the same for every cooking situation. Some are excellent everyday choices. Some are better for high-heat cooking. Some are better when you actually want their distinctive flavour. So which one wins? Watch until the end for our final ranking. What's your go-to cooking oil?
