What is a good substitute for vegetable oil?

We have a nice cast iron skillet and after we wash it we thinly coat it with vegetable oil to keep it from rusting. We're out of oil and it's too late to go pick some up, so else could i use?What is a good substitute for vegetable oil?
Any type of cooking oil you have will do, or use some butter or margarine.What is a good substitute for vegetable oil?
Would not use olive oil, the smoke point is too low. Grapeseed, or canola would work well.


Also, make sure that you never wash cast iron with soap. You should rinse with only water and scrub lightly with sponge. This will maintain the seasoning in the pan. I have had mine for 6 years and don't even need to apply the oil after rinsing.
Any type of oil you have including olive oil, canola oil or even a thin coat of shortening or butter or margarine will do the same thing.
Olive oil is great for healthy cooking but for baking a sweet confections, use canola oil melted butter or any other oil.


Hope this helps!
