olive oil is very expensive.  

Answer 8

But knowing which oils are the healthiest is only half the battle. Pairing the right oil with the proper cooking method is important as well. Some oils are good for high heat cooking, while others are better for salad dressing. One way to determine this is to look at the smoke point, the temperature at which an oil begins to smoke and break down, releasing carcinogens into the air and free radicals into the oil. When it reaches this point, you should discard the oil and start over.

Here’s a guide to the healthiest cooking oils for people with diabetes and ideas for making good use of them in your kitchen:

1. Walnut Oil: A polyunsaturated fat and good source of omega 3s. With a smoke point of 400 degrees F, this oil is good for baking (try this Blueberry Oat Muffin recipe) and sautéing at low to medium-high heat (as in this Lemon and Garlic Summer Squash Recipe), or try it drizzled on a salad, such ask this Italian Bean and Artichoke Salad.

2. Flaxseed Oil: A polyunsaturated fat and good source of omega 3s. Due to its low smoke point of 225 degrees F, it should not be used for cooking over heat. Try it stirred into dishes after heating or in salad dressings, salsa or smoothies.

3. Canola Oil: A monounsaturated fat with a medium high smoke point of 425 degrees F, use it in baking (try using it in Oatmeal cookies), sautéing, stir-fry (like this Mexican dish), and in dressings.

4. Olive Oil: A monounsaturated fat with a medium smoke point of 325 degrees F, use this flavorful oil for light sautéing (like this dish of Prosciutto and Peas), sauces like pesto and salad dressings like this.

5. Peanut Oil: A monounsaturated fat with a medium smoke point of 350 degrees F, use this flavorful oil for light sautéing (try peanut chicken), sauces (such as curry) and salad dressings (like sesame green beans).

6. Almond Oil: A monounsaturated fat with a high smoke point of 495 degrees F, this is a good oil for high heat cooking, like sautéing or frying. Its great flavor also works well in desserts, like the Light Whipped Cream recipe

7. Avocado Oil: A monounsaturated fat with a high smoke point of 510 degrees F, this is a good oil for high heat cooking, like sautéing or frying, and tasty in salads such as this one.

8. Safflower Oil: A polyunsaturated fat with a low saturated fat level, this oil is a good all-purpose oil. Its high smoke point of 450 degrees F makes it good for high heat cooking, like sautéing and frying. Try it in this Kasha and Brown Rice Rotini Pasta dish or Bite Sized Lemon-Rosemary Chicken.

9. Sunflower Oil: A polyunsaturated fat with a low saturated fat level, this oil has a high smoke point of 460 degrees F making it good for high heat cooking, like sautéing and frying. Use it to sauté the vegetables in this Sweet Potato and Parsnip Soup or Zucchini Soup with Pasta.

10. Corn Oil: A polyunsaturated fat with a low saturated fat level, this oil has a medium smoke point of 320 degrees F, making it good for light sautéing, as in the Bell Pepper Delight, and sauces.
