This is a question we get asked all the time, and we don’t have one clear answer because there are actually lots of options depending on what your cooking needs are.

That’s why we’re putting together a guide that will cover:

1. A Lesson on Fat: Saturated, Monounsaturated, Polyunsaturated

2. How Oils are Made

3. Oils to Avoid

4. Best Oils for Cooking (Fat and Smoke Point / Cooking Method Infographic)

5. How to Store Oils

You’ll get a better understanding of oils and how to cook with them. Plus, we’ll have a handy infographic that you can print out for free and reference any time.

All of this helpful info will be available next week, so make sure you’re signed up for our newsletter. We’ll deliver this guide and infographic right to your inbox, so you won’t miss out on the chance to raise your kitchen IQ!
