Can you use Canola Oil instead of Olive Oil?

Answer 1

sure, it will just give it a different flavor and fragrance

Answer 2

For frying, yes, for general cooking, yes. For salad dressing etc., yes. It just depends on why you want to use the canola versus the olive oil. Olive oil is great for health reasons and for taste and flavor. Canola is great for frying because it has a higher burning level, and if you don't want the olive flavor in foods, canola would be a good healthy choice.

It does make a difference. I suggest you use Canola oil, because Olive oil does give off a stronger flavor. In the long run, you are better off with Canola oil because its healthier than Vegtable oil. :)

Answer 4

Olive has too strong a taste. You can use canola oil in place of vegetable oil in pretty much everything.

Answer 5

If you want the authentic flavor in most Italian dishes you should use extra virgin olive oil. If you don't like that, and are more into the american style, the canola oil is fine.

Answer 6

It depends for what but on the whole, yes. They don't taste the same.

Canola oil can be used at a higher temperature than olive oil in frying.

Answer 7

thats like asking if you could substitute salt for pepper.

all sarcasm aside, both oils have different uses. if its taste you're going for then i recommend olive oil. if you're trying to save money then use canola oil. if you're trying to fry something try using grapeseed oil or peanut oil. they not only make your fried food taste great, but they last long as well. just make sure that after frying you strain out all the gritty stuff. reasearch different kinds of oils you can use for cooking. you'll find out alot of great things such as smoking points, flavors etc.

Answer 8

I gasped when I seen your question. Heaven's no dear, the ONLY acceptable substitute for olive oil is Quaker States 10W-30. This will bring out the natural flavors of anything cooked in it Remember, though, to change your cooking oil every 3-5 thousand miles.

Answer 9

Yep ! They are both monosaturated fat. Olive has more flavor,
but Canola oil is better for deep frying and it is cheaper.

Answer 10

Sure you can, the only difference will be flavor and burning point of the oil and some difference in the nutritional aspect. I prefer for everything olive oil because the quality and nutritional aspects are higher.

Answer 11

Sure, but I always use olive oil when something I cook requires the use of oil.
