im just curious if anyone in here have in one point or another in your life heard about a brand of cooking oil called Mazola..... through some research i did, i found out that Mazola is one of the leading brand in Europe, America, middle east and north Africa..... but from the looks of it they aren't doing so hot here in Malaysia.... anyone knows why...? what comes to mind when you hear the name Mazola if there is anything that pops up... hahahaha.... and just curious again, how many of you out there knows that Mazola actually has other type of cooking oil other than corn oil.... for example they have canola, sunflower, soya bean and etc.........
please also share the cooking oil that you use and the reason for that....?
how and when do u decide on choosing the cooking oil that u are currently using...?
ur most honest feedback is most sincerely appreciated..... thanx..

ur most honest feedback is most sincerely appreciated..... thanx.. I'm using Mazola Pure® Extra Virgin Olive Oil Cooking spray  Its not doing so well in Malaysia because its on the expensive side compare to others in the market. Mazola® No Stick cooking spray is gluten-free. The Mazola Pure Cooking Spray - Extra Virgin Olive Oil will add essentially NO CALORIES to your total intake for the day. JUSCO is selling varieties Mazola Cooking Spray. and YES, its the leading brand in Europe and America. just my 2 cents |

For healthy purposes:
Olive oil - go for extra virgin...taste may not towards m'sian liking
if not, our normal locally produced palm oil (Knife) will be as good as normal olive oil as long always use minimal usage and always new oil as to cook...

As long as its vegetable oil you're good to go. Different variation of oils just give different types of taste and smell. Personally I use extra virgin for salads whereas virgin for high-heat cooking

Thanks for all of your oppinion.... if i would say, which would you care most when buying a product, health values or price.....? the reason i raise this question is that i have gotten the impression that we malaysian like to buy at a cheap price and sometimes we just dont care about weather its actually good for us.....
anybody uses it for baking....? why...?
why use mazola for baking instead od daisy which is a more popular brand for malaysian in baking....?
again i would like to say thanx for all the info everyone has provided... it's most appriciated.....

For stirfrying my meat or veggies, I used Carotene oil or Virgin Coconut Oil as the oil is stable at high heat and will not form the harmful transfat.

fyi. Mazola can withstand high temperatures longer without burning. I personally would care about the health values instead of the price. Never try Mazola for baking though. Maybe will try one day. |

Added on December 29, 2009, 9:36 pmdo any of you have any problems regarding cooking oil.... what do you look for when buying cooking oil and what makes you decide what to buy and when do you make this decision...? do go to the internet and look it up or do you just go to the stores and choose there....?

Bean oil is good but it is odorless. It does not give the same fragrant palm oil give to pisang goreng.

One night, I found the virgin olive oil. ... it is now known, simply as "the olive oil". Rimshot! God I'm on fire. This post has been edited by Kasey Brown: Jan 25 2011, 04:27 PM |

Good:
-for cooking: virgin olive oil (light, quick cooking), cold pressed organic red palm oil (Carotino brand is not that good: it contains canola oil), virgin coconut oil, butter (yes, butter). I mix the usual palm oil with organic red palm oil.
-to be eaten raw or as a dip: extra virgin olive oil (absolutely not suitable for cooking), flax seed oil, basically any cold pressed organic vegetable oil.
Bad:
canola oil, commercial soy oil, commercial corn oil, margarine, processed fats/oil, hydrogenated fats/oils.
------
I'd rather just stick with the usual palm oil. It's not the best, but at least it's stable in heat, and not hydrogenated like crazy.
Learn to read the labels: look for 'cold pressed' and 'organic' (they cost more though).
Avoid 'hydrogenated', 'canola'.
