pending if you want the oil to have a flavor or not. I like canola as its a tasteless oil.

I prefer cooking with Rice Bran Oil. No taste at all.

If it something that needs to be cooked at a high temperature, then olive oil is not the oil to use.Canola is better for high temp cooking, or avocado.

It is very light in flavour,contains no saturated or transfat and good levels of vitamin E. I just prefer it personally.

Sunflower. Light olive if I want to do meat. I never use canola as I find the whole thing a bit suspect.

I now use rice bran for most of my cooking, it is so clean/ flavourless. Olive oil for flavour, and sesame for just a hint.
