Which oil creates the least amount of trans fat?!


Question: We have a small deep fryer and I am wondering which oil to use to create the least amount of trans fats when I use it. I know that frying starches creates trans fat in any oil, but do the higher temp. oils create less of it? Thanks for your help:)

You want to use an oil that is not hydrogenated and has a high smoke point. Canola, peanut and rice oils are the best.

I work at a restaurant and had to research the healthiest possible oil to use in our deep fryers. We choose rice oil.

I don't know about the trans fats part but peanut oil is best for frying because it doesn't burn out easily.

Canola oil has been claimed to be healthy due to its low, or even zero, saturated fat and high—almost 60%—monounsaturated oil content and beneficial omega-3 fatty acids profile

Canola oil. I doesn't burn so easily and the bottle should tell you the amount of fat/trans fats it contains per gram.
I use canola oil for everything because it is neutral in flavor and good for you. I use olive oil too, but because it has such a bold flavor, normally I mix it with canola or butter.
