I use grapeseed, refined coconut and virgin coconut oil. Was using evoo, but saw that grapeseed oil raised the good cholesterol levels and that's what my family needs, so I switched. And try the virgin coconut oil in the bedroom. You'll never use synthetic stuff again. Really, really awesome stuff.

I use peanut for higher temps and baking, pure olive oil for saute and extra-virgin cold-pressed olive oil for salads. I keep a little bottle of toasted sesame for Asian dishes, and that's about it. Canola oil doesn't offer me any taste with it's grease, and it often smells rancid to me so I never buy it or use it.

Typically just olive oil, but I want to try coconut oil soon, too.

I use walnut oil a lot. Tossed asparagus the other night and roasted. Oil my poach pods (for poached eggs) with it.

I don't have a lot, but besides a variety of Olive Oils I love Avocado Oil (http://casaoliver.com/Apalta-avocado-oil-from-chilean-gourmet.asp). SO yummy in salads and for sauteeing veggies. I also like making my own infused Olive Oils with various herbs/spices.

i wouldn't say i'm stocked, but i've got vegetable oil, olive oil, virgin coconut oil, toasted sesame seed oil, and walnut oil. i use the first for higher heat cooking or baking. olive for everyday sauteeing and most savory dishes. i use coconut oil as much as possible because it's so healthy, but only where heat is low. the last two are for flavoring, particularly salad dressings.

Yes, lots of oils, but I keep mine in the fridge after opening them. Walnut oil and champagne vinegar make a mighty tasty dressing. Walnut also great for baking :drool:

I have sesame, sunflower, hazelnut, walnut (good for salad dressings), peanut, and canola. I most often use olive oil, but it's nice to have the others.

Yeah, I don't have a lot of exotic oils, but I do use canola, olive, and corn oils when I cook.

I have a wide variety; olive, canola, sunflower, sesame grapeseed, avocado and walnut are what are in my kitchen right now. I've been looking for pumpkin seed oil but haven't been able to find it yet.

It's easy and fun to do infused oils kitchenhacker! I am making my first batch of papaya vodka.

The oils I use vary. I regularly use olive oil (I often have more than one variety), hazelnut oil (or another nut oil), dark sesame oil, and canola oil. I've been toying with infusing oils with other flavors, but I haven't really gotten into it yet...

Sesame seed oil, corn oil and olive oil are my top 3. I haven't used grape-seed oil yet.

I use olive oil, canola oil or peanut oil. It depends on what I'm making as to which one is used. I have yet to use grapeseed oil but it is on my to try list.
