About Cooking oil

Cooking oil is an edible oil used in food preparation, including cooking or as an ingredient. The catalogue name gives no plant, animal, or blended source and does not specify whether the oil is refined, cold-pressed, or otherwise processed.

At ordinary room conditions, many cooking oils are liquid and visibly clear to slightly coloured, but appearance, thickness, aroma, and flavour depend on the source and processing. Products in this broad category are not interchangeable descriptions of one particular oil.
