Question by Justin: Which cooking oil smells the least while cooking?
I like to cook but I hate the lingering smell that cooking oil leaves in the apartment and in my clothes whenever I use it to cook or deep fry food. Is there an oil that doesn’t smell as much as say vegetable or olive oil?

Best answer:

Answer by t.
The oil really shouldn’t smell unless it is being burned… Although I have found that olive oil is the least smelly… after canola oil.

    You might want to try peanut oil. I’ve used it & like it a lot better than the other cooking oils. I know what you mean about the smell, it is hard to get rid of. Good Luck!! have a good one.

    if you don’t like to use olive oil try using Mazola Corn Oil for deep frying it doesn’t smell as bad and it is healthier for you.

    I totally have to agree with you on that one I jpretty much use the same oils like olive oil which can’t withhold too much heat and good old vegetable oil because of it’s natural uses……… i find if you discard the oil asap(natually when it cools ) the smell will leave soon. don’t know any other oils tht won’t smell when hot enough to fry….
