What are the best oils to cook with? i use to use vegetable now i use canola

Olive Oil: Extra virgin olive oil is a fine choice although a bit expensive. You can also use coconut oil but it has a low kindling point--can burn easily. Keep making healthy choices. We need good fat in our diet and the above can do it.
