    We use mostly butter and olive oil here too.

    and I store lots Crisco for SHTF

    Costco has Big bottles of olive oil at a great price...But the frigging bottles are Plastic!

    Some Costcos sell ghee (clarified butter). It doesn't have to be refrigerated.

    If you look at places that cater to restaurants, or even go into a local deli/bakery, you can find olive oil in the metal tins. Its best for long term storage as the plastic wont weaken or get brittle and they arent transparent so they they wont degrade as quickly from light. Its not hard to find, you might just have to ask for it.

    In fact, look for a local italiam market or bakery and ask the manager if he can order some for you next time he puts an order into his distributor, that would be your best bet.


    ETA: You can, of course, always bottle it yourself as well in half gallon or gallon mason jars. This will also give you the chance to flavor it by adding herb, spices, peppers, etc and letting it age.
    If someone asks you what good is a hi-cap MAG ban when there are millions of them already around and you answer, "well clips can't be reused" you're switching into full retard mode. -MadFranks

    Greek markets and resturaunts are another good source for the gallon-sized metal containers of olive oil.

    Rudolf Diesel invented the diesel engine to work on vegetable oils, not fossil fuel derived diesel fuel.

    and he felt fairly strongly about it.

    he died on a boat trip from Germany to England. supposedly, suicide. i find that very odd - he was very successful, his ideas were being recognized and adopted commercially. for a design engineer that is normally a reason to be happy, not suicidal.

    i'm pretty sure he was suicided. my guess is the Zionists and other business interests wanted to push diesel technology towards reliance on fossil fuels & mineral resources - there's a lot more money there.

    imagine if the automotive industry had stuck with vegetable oils. No British Petroleum.

    We use olive oil almost exclusivley. We dont deep fry anything, so we dont worry about its relativley low flash point. We do use coconut oil too, but we make alot of dishes that just dont mix well with coconut flavor.

    I dont know about yall, but chicken parmesan wit coconut just doesnt sound all that appealing. Granted, the coconut flavor usualy isnt overbearing. Its flippin fantastic in curries though!

    The most important factor to consider with cooking oil is smoking-point. This is the temperature oil burns at. Canola, Soybean, and Peanut oil are the best here, but I agree Canola oil is horrible for you, so lets scratch that out as an option.


    • Soybean Oil: If you want the cheapest oil, just understand soy is VERY unhealthy, but you're eating fried food so who cares? I like Soybean Oil because it has a very neutral flavor, and we/I used it when cooking for the super rich elites.
    • Peanut Oil: If you want something more expensive, and is somewhat less unhealthy, go with this. Peanut oil is best when frying meats most definitely.


    Personally I like both, and would have them both on hand. Soy is totally bad for you, but remember, you're frying. Make the decision based on your financial situation, but if you have the money, and aren't allergic, go with Peanut Oil, hands down.

    ________________________

    ALSO KEEP THIS IN MIND!
    A buying option: Look to buy at a restaurant or warehouse type store. Buy it in the 35lb box/carton.


    This is the size we use in the restaurant industry, DO NOT USE ANY SMALLER SIZE! You'll get ripped off any other way.
    35lbs here is $26.54 for soy, and $39.99 for peanut. Buy it from stores like Costco and Smart and Final.

    As some have said here, No fuss no muss, will store forever ---Lard!

    Olive oil for dressings, and not cooking!
