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

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.
    • Scott Adams
      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.
    • Scott Adams
      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.    
    • Scott Adams
      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
