Did you know that Homer -- not the one from the Simpson's, the one from Ancient Greece -- called Olive oil the ''liquid gold''? It served many purposes throughout history, but these days we're more familiar with cooking with olive oil . It's perfect for salads, of course, but serves also for sautee and stir frying. Depending on what's on the menu one may choose among the wide variety of flavoured cooking oil , and since we're now all health food oriented, a good cooking oil sprayer has become a must in every kitchen. Kids love French Fries... and so do grown ups. For good, crispy fries, vegetable oil cooking is recommended, so go for corn, walnut or sunflower oil. When comes storage time remember that oils don't appreciate heat, so to keep that rancid smell away put your cleaned oil in the fridge till you need again. Environment is now a concern to us all, let's keep it in mind when its time to dispose of used cooking oil . We must avoid dumping it in the sink or the toilet, for oil being lighter than water it will hinder its oxygenation and contaminate up to a million times its capacity. We'll always fall for fried food, so it's up to us to eat reasonably and to make sure we use nothing but a healthy cooking oil .
