What vegetable does vegetable oil come from?

Anyone? Bueller? (I have no idea.)

Also, is it OK to use vegetable oil and corn oil interchangeably? Aren't they basically the same?

It's been a while since I had home ec. Thanks

 

I've always wondered where baby oil comes from.

 

Ummm . . . I do know Canola Oil is from Canola, also known as rapeseed.

 

Do they really squeeze rape seed to get rape seed oil?


Corn oil is a type of vegetable oil, as is soybean oil.

When it's labeled "Corn" or "Soybean", that's what it is. When it's labeled "Vegetable" that means it might be either or a mix or any other vegetable oil source, usually depending on what they can find most cheaply at the time it's processed. Sometimes the bottle will state what that mixture is,

 

I use canola oil when I want to cook something without adding flavor to it. It is really light.
When I want to impart some flavor, I use olive oil.

 

I use motor oil. Naturally, the fiancee hates when I cook.

 

If I had my druthers, I'd use bacon grease.
