Canola oil and Crisco vegetable oil taste rancid to me. I didn't realize it
until I wasted a vanilla bean trying to make a vanilla mayo following one of
Emeril's recipes. I tasted that stuff and threw the whole pint of mayo out.
I use safflower oil nowadays whenever I run across something calling for
canola or vegetable oil. But those instances are rare; I use at least ten
times as much olive oil as any other kind of cooking oil. I've got a fair
selection of other oils: grapeseed, macadamia, sesame, walnut, and hazelnut.
I intend to buy peanut oil one of these days, but I haven't gotten around to
it yet.
