If the oil you buy is light and pale, you can be certain that it has been fully refined, bleached, and deodorized. Refined oils are extracted from clean oilseed/oil cakes by solvent extraction for further refining to produce clear oil, free from rancidity, and foreign matter. These oils are used as medium cooking oils (225°F – 350°F), high cooking oils (350°F – 450°F), and deep-frying oils (greater than 450°F). In essence, refined oils have minimal flavor and aroma ,which can be useful in delicately flavored dishes. Use for baking and sautéing, stir-fry and wok-fry, and oven cooking; to sear, brown, deep fry, and for tempura.
