Canola Oil... Used It For Frying


Guhlia

Recommended Posts

Okay, we just made a delicious batch of gluten free donuts, but now we have a HUGE amount of canola oil left over after frying them. Can I use the oil again? Can I just let it cool and then put it back in the empty oil bottle to use for frying at a later date? Please help!!!

That's what we do. Cool and re-use.

What's the doughnut recipe? Cakey or the good kind?

I don't know if I'd trust it myself. From what I've read, canola isn't exactly all that great to begin with. As I understand it, oils tend to degrade, turning rancid when exposed to heat and light. I recall that the rancidity is due to the formation of free radicals. Just like olive oil, canola oil is not exempt from this, though the degradation will differ. There's a lot of promotion behind canola, but as I did some digging, it began to look like junk, with hype pushing it.

Here's just one of a myriad articles you can find on the subject:

The best oil I know of for cooking thus far is macadamia oil, but I don't think I'd use that again either after deep frying unless I used it immediately, and even then not for cooking. Possibly in something baked if the frying was light. I don't know - I'd have to decide at that time, noting the smell and clarity of the oil and so forth.

RiceGuy is right. Rancid oil is very bad for you. I'm not a canola fan either. I use either olive oil or expeller pressed safflower oil (not all safflower is good either). I also use coconut oil and some sesame oil for flavoring.

I've also stopped using canola oil. I use olive oil and the expeller pressed safflower oils, also. For baking, Spectrum Organic Shortening (unhydrogenated Palm oil). I am intolerant, so I can't use coconut oil.

Carla--do you refrigerate your safflower oil? I don't use it often, so I only buy small bottles and keep them in the fridge.

Guhlia--I wouldn't use it again. (I mean the oil you fried with--whether or not you use canola is up to you :lol: )

What about grape seed oil?

I saw that in the store today at Wild Oats Grocer

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified Gluten" in any given batch run. It just means there could be.

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.

      Are Bobresmill gluten free oats ok for sensitive celiacs?

      thank you both for the insights. i agree, im going to back off on dairy and try sucraid. thanks for the tip about protein powder, i will look for whey protein powder/drinks!   i don’t understand why my doctor refused to order it either. so i’ve decided i’m not going to her again, and i’m going to get a second opinion with a GI recommended to me by someone with celiac. unfortunately my first appointment isn’t until February 17th. do you think i should go gluten free now or wait until after i meet with the new doctor? i’m torn about what i should do, i dont know if she is going to want to repeat the endoscopy, and i know ill have to be eating gluten to have a positive biopsy. i could always do the gluten challenge on the other hand if she does want to repeat the biopsy.    thanks again, i appreciate the support here. i’ve learned a lot from these boards. i dont know anyone in real life with celiac.

      Let me suggest an adjustment to your terminology. "Celiac disease" and "gluten intolerance" are the same. The other gluten disorder you refer to is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which is often referred to as being "gluten sensitive". Having said that, the reality is there is still much inconsistency in how people use these terms. Since celiac disease does damage to the small bowel lining it often results in nutritional deficiencies such as anemia. NCGS does not damage the small bowel lining so your history of anemia may suggest you have celiac disease as opposed to NCGS. But either way, a gluten-free diet is in order. NCGS can cause bodily damage in other ways, particularly to neurological systems.
