Flaxseed can easily replace oil or shortening in a recipe because of it's high oil content. Just replace 1/3 c. of oil with 1 c. of milled flaxseed for a 3:1 substitution ratio. Similarly, a flaxseed mixture can be used as an egg substitute in selected recipes like pancakes, muffins and cookies. For every egg, replace with 1 tsp. of milled flax amd 3 tbsp. of water. Mix milled flaxseed and water in a small bowl and let sit for 1 to 2 minutes.

When oils are heated chemical changes occur producing trans-fatty acids, saturated fatty acids and other oxidation products that are far more toxic than trans fats. Frying is not recommended for health. If you must fry use high oleic sunflower, high oleic safflower, sesame or olive oil. Adding water while frying will keep the temperatures down to acceptable levels. Extra virgin olive oil can be used for boiling and baking. See similar questions...

No. Hydrogenation is an industrial process where hydrogen molecules are introduced to the oil to make it solid at room temperatures. It chemically alters the oil and creates harmful trans fatty acids. Cooking with coconut oil does NOT introduce hydrogen into the oil or hydrogenate it. Coconut oil is a very stable oil even at higher temperatures. However, it is best not to cook beyond the smoke point of coconut oil, as this will begin to deteriorate the oil and turn it yellow.

SCANPAN CLASSIC/ERGONOMIC NEW TEK can be used with any oils or seasoning, or without any seasoning. See similar questions...

Only oils with high smoke points should be used to deep fry turkeys. Peanut oil has a high smoke point and provides the best flavor according to many Cajun chefs and cooks.

If peanut oil is not available, a blend of peanut (51%) and soybean oil (49%), such as LouAna® Frying Oil Blend can be used. See similar questions...
