Can you fry stuff with flax oil

[muchmass]

I was only pointing out the one simple fact that "yes you can cook with it"

but yes you are right on the rest.

technically you could cook with motor oil too, but i guess you wont will you?

Needtogetaas and I were making the same point. You can cook with it. When cooking I only use it for salad dressing. For actual cooking it is cheaper and easier to use other natural oils. Grapeseed oil can be used for any frying including deep frying since it has a very high burnpoint (and a very clean taste which is good for delicate meats and eggs). Walnut and hazelnut oils add a great nutty taste to fish but have a lower burn point. I use these oils to rub on fish when I am baking. Point is, there are a lot of natral oils which are healthy sources of fats and add great flavor to food. If you want the pure health benefits don't cook the oil (same with eggs). If you like the flavor of the oil then use it but be aware of the burn point.

Great info on cooking with natural oils, Kroger has a great selection of natural oils that are cheaper than Wholefoods.

sunflower oil is pretty good to.

cook in organic virgin coconut oil for MCT's and antibactierial properties and buy vegeterian DHA............flax oil is overrated and too expensive.......fish oil has mercury........

or just cook in extra virgin olive oil stored in dark container in the fridge

sesame oil is great to cook with as well, but i wouldn't advise it for eggs. if you have a good non-stick pan, you really don't need much oil anyway. sometimes i don't even use any, if i cook at a low enough heat. usually i just brush some olive oil on my pan for eggs though.
