Re: cooking/baking with alternative oils

[Guest guest]

Olive oil should not be heated......it changes its structure.....you can use

coconut oil but I do not like everything to have the taste of coconut...I use

ghee you can find it at the health food store....it is clarified butter...not

the same as butter....it can be used with children on a dairy free diet. I have

not had any problems with it with my son and it tastes good....not by itself but

when used to grease pans or in baked goods.....

Subject: cooking/baking with alternative oils

Can anyone tell me what to use in place of canola oil in baked goods? I'm

considering at least cutting down on canola until I decide what to do for sure,

but wasn't sure how to bake without it. I realize olive oil can be used for

frying if needed.

Thanks.

It varies with baking goods which I use. I use coconut oil, most of the time it

is olive oil & yes even Ghee. I cut down on deep frying but when I do, use the

Ghee & once again depends which food items I use as well like the Grape Seed oil

too. There is also now Earth Balance, no dairy, no soy butter.

We use alot of applesauce in place of oils in baking. Love the texture and

extra flavor, plus the lower fat content. And yes I make my own applesauce

and freeze it. Mostly in 1 quart freezer bags.

If no phenol affects when one is affected with Candida Albican (Yeast

overgrowth) though. Unable to use anything w/apples.

Interesting Sara, still liked what you've shared, thank you.

Sara, are there certain types of apples you use?

We live in apple country so we have lots of varieties. Arkansas black,

Mitsu, granny smith, some macintosh, some GALA, jonathans if we can get

them. Really what ever looks good. We have apples available most years

from about May thru to November. Just depends what is in stock. And I go

to the orchards to get it altho I won't go pick them!!!!

I used to make them with the peels on and then grind them and catch the

peels - still do that sometimes, but I worry about pesticides even after

washing, so mostly we peel./ Got an attachment which peels and cores at the

same time.

We also dry apples for winter (like now!). love re-hydrating them and

making cobblers and pies with them. But we do not follow the custom of the

mountains and make 'fried pies " !!!!

Mmm, sounds yummy, makes my mouth watery with the thought of food recipes.

So, here I am learning about apple city out there. ; )

I remember giving away one of those dehydrating machines. I was not into all

of this in the past so guess will add this to my wish list. Is there a

particular one you use? Hope you do not mind picking your brain when this

happens.

Thank you Sara, always nice to have this information for me as well. No more

fried food here & this sounds good to have for some of my texture moments.

Olive Oil smokes at a lower temp then other oils. When it smokes, it breaks

down. This is not good, but I cannot remember what the chemicals are that

it breaks down into. Countries which use Olive oil for cooking do not

generally fry much or fry in peanut oil (at least that is how it is done in

Israel. )

Ghee can be made at home. That Autralian cook who was big on TV a couple of

decades ago - ccan't remember his name - used to clarify butter all the

time.

Take a stick of butter, heat it slowly in a skillet. Pour off the liquid

letting the solids sink to the bottom. The lclear liquid is Ghee or

clarified butter. The solids are the milk solids.

I use spray on olive oil to grease a skillet.
