Best cheap-ass cooking oil?

[Hatha Sunahara]

I don't think I have ever had Lard.....But I like Bacon...so Im sure I would like Lard...gonna have to get me some and try it

Look at the label on the package. Most commercially sold lard is partially hydrogenated--means it has trans-fats.

If I want lard, I use bacon fat from bacon I cook myself.

Can't be worse than they other cheap oils.....

edit: this is designed for popping pop corn in movie theaters. Coconut oil is what they use to get that "movie theater" taste...

"This oil is sourced from a certified organic producer. It's also "food grade" quality so it can be used as an excellent frying or cooking oil, however, it does not smell nor taste like coconuts."

what is the self life of coconut oil?

For high quality extra virgin oil, its supposed to be indefinite. For the stuff I posted above, its supposed to be 1.5 years or something.

I just picked up 1 gallon of peanut oil but when I read the ingredients I figured I would ask here first before gathering more. this has TBHQ, citrus acid(no biggie) but dimethylpolysiloxane? All I can gather on the last one is it is a organic silicone anti foaming agent... organic... rocks and shyt are organic too but i don't want to go there. any ideas?

Isn't all coconut oil organic? I mean who fertilizes/sprays coconut palm trees??
