Different oils are meant for different cooking methods. For instance, olive oil should not be used for cooking or sauteing and should only be used for things such as salads. This is because the molecules in the olive oil begin to break down when under high heat and releases free radicals into your system, damaging your body. This is visible in olive oil when it begins to smoke and change color. So, oils such as olive oil, should not be used for cooking or baking. This is a common mistake in many cooking practices. Oils that are refined for high heat exposure will be labeled as such. Some of these include sesame, canola, and safflower oil. My favorite to use is sesame oil because of it's unique flavor,high nutrients, and high heat resistance.
