Canola oil

Canola oil is valued for its low saturated fat and imperceptible flavor. As a viscous liquid, it forms a concave meniscus in measuring cups, making eye-level reading deceptive. Weighing eliminates visual errors, essential for scientifically perfect emulsions like mayonnaise.

Storage & tools

• Keep the refrigerator at or below 40°F (4°C) and the freezer at 0°F (-18°C).
• Cool hot foods in shallow containers so they chill faster and more safely.
• Use an appliance thermometer to verify fridge and freezer temperatures.
