Wellsley Farms Vegetable Oil is as great for making salad dressings and dips as it is for cooking, frying and baking. One of the great advantages of vegetable oil is its relatively high smoke point around 450 degrees F, meaning that it's good for high-heat cooking methods such as sautéing and frying. The term 'vegetable oil' is commonly used as a shorthand to refer to any cooking oil that is derived from plant material, as opposed to animal fats like butter and lard. Vegetable oil is made from soybeans and is a light-colored oil, made to be as flavorless and odorless as possible. It is made by crushing dried soybeans, then spinning to separate the oil from the plant matter, before distilling and refining it to remove as many impurities and other contaminants that could affect the color and aroma of the oil. So the result is an oil that is extremely neutral and thus highly versatile. This vegetable oil is packaged in a large, 5 qt. container for an ample supply to meet all your cooking needs.
