Because of cholesterol I stopped cooking and using butter. I now Becel margarine for my bread products and sunflower oil for frying. I would say Becel product is better. Look it up on Google to find ingredients. It is omega-3.

Hi, testuser22!

Which kind of oil is it that you're thinking about, please?

Thanks!

I feel it all depends on what you are cooking. Some oils have a higher heat to fry certain things. Butter does not.

I usually use a mix of olive oil and butter (so there is no burn) but I vary depending on what I make.

Regular cooking is always Canola oil:D

I either have canola or olive oil in my cabinet. I usually use butter for chicken breasts.

I have Becel margarine for things like bread , etc.

For cooking or homemade dressings I use olive oil.
