How do I get the smell of cooking oil (coconut and/or vegetable oil) out of the house?

Is there anything I can do - other than opening winows - to get rid of the lingering smell? Spicy cooking oil is not exactly stinky, but i'd rather the house smell nice and fresh! Has anyone had success with an air filter?





Thanks!How do I get the smell of cooking oil (coconut and/or vegetable oil) out of the house?
I use the Home Care Air Purifier / Ionizer by Soundesign. I usually turn it on when I begin cooking so the smells don't drift through the house. Have used this for 10+ years. Wouldn't try to live without it!! Works in minutes! Works well also if you have guests who smoke.How do I get the smell of cooking oil (coconut and/or vegetable oil) out of the house?
Fabreze (spelling?) is the bomb. Use it on curtains, carpets, upholstery, any cloth that absorbs the oily odors near the kitchen.
i do alot of frying for my kids and what i usually do is burn insense.
here is what I do all the time-I fry alot of fish, so know what you mean. When you are frying, keep a small saucepan of fresh lemon and water boiling on another burner, The steam from the lemon gets caught up in the oil, so house will smell of lemon (or grapefruit, limes) When you are done frying, spray all around the house with a mixture of 1/2 water, 1/2 hydrogen peroxide and a squeeze of fresh lemon. works for me I get little spray bottles at wal mart to use for the spray

Is there a test to tell the difference betweeen canola and vegetable oil?

Could you tell by just looking at it? Is there a more definitive test that could be done to tell the difference? Like if I have two bottles of unlabeled oil, how would I know which one is canola?





Thanks so much !Is there a test to tell the difference betweeen canola and vegetable oil?
Canola is a tad lighter color than vegetable oil and has a distinctive after taste.





Edit: Wesson is what I use also and if you take a small taste of each you will know which one is the canola.. it has an odd after taste to it.





Edit 2: If you have the 48oz bottle of vegetable oil I can tell you that the number on the bottom is 705-5 =)Is there a test to tell the difference betweeen canola and vegetable oil?
By appearance, Canola oil is a little paler; not as golden as some vegetable oils. But - this will also depend on the grade of the oil and the blend.





As to a test? Chemist might be able to give you a definitive answer. Taste is a little different, but again, this will depend on the blend in the vegetable oil.

Is vegetable oil the same as crisco?

I have kitty cookie mix that says to grease the pan with vegetable oil. Do you think they mean Crisco or liquid vegetable oil?Is vegetable oil the same as crisco?
They mean liquid vegetable oil for this purpose. Pour about a teaspoon onto the pan, then spread it with a paper towel. It'll help make it easier to get the kitty cookies out of the pan when they're done.





And if you don't have any liquid vegetable oil... go ahead and spread on Crisco, it's just vegetable oil that's been processed to make it a solid at room temperature.Is vegetable oil the same as crisco?
Crisco is a solidified vegetable oil made by hydrogenating liquid vegetable oil. The oil that pours from a bottle is not processed like that. You could use either since the Crisco will liquefy under heat while you are baking - it is not part of the cookie ingredients, just a nonstick coating on the pan.





If kitty cookies are really intended for cats do they contain things like fish guts or chopped mice that cats would find appealing? I hope you have a separate cookie sheet you use for them to keep the people-cookies on a clean surface.
Use whatever you have available .. vegetable oil (liquid or solid), a spray, like PAM, butter, olive oil .. etc etc .. you are just greasing a pan .. so the food won't stick to it.
Vegetable oil and crisco are 2 different things. Although they are both a vegetable oil so to say... crisco is a vegetable oil product. It contains solids and is not always interchangeable with the oil even if you melt it. For greasing a pan you can really use either or but in cakes etc....if I do use oil I also flour the pan or use a few teaspoons of the mix to dust the pan since I've found that straight liquid oil tends to make items a little crispier than I'd like them to be.
They probably mean crisco but you can use vegetable oil, but use it sparingly.
You can use either one. It's really about what you have on hand. Crisco is a form of shortening I'm not sure if its animal fat like lard or if its from processed vegetables like some oils are.
they mean liquid vegetable oil but you could use crisco but it would changes the flavor
well crisco is like shortning. you know the white stuff that is greasy. they are two totally different things.











luvs
Vegetable oil = liquid oil





Crisco = shortening (although the brand ';Crisco'; also includes liquid oils)
Crisco makes shortening and vegetable oil. Shortening is vegetable oil refined into a very ';silky'; solid texture. If the recipe says vegetable oil use the liquid.





But for cookies I usually spray the pan with Pam or use a Silpat (a silicon baking mat).
I would grease it with crisco. They're not the same. Crisco has a higher melting temperature and will not cook into your food as much as vegetable oil will.
Crisco actually works best.
If you are referring to Crisco the solid shortening kind vs. the liquid in the bottle. It's ok to use the liquid Crisco in this instance because the smoking temperature is higher than for solid shortening.
That is totally unimportant to the recipe...Crisco, or even Margarine, Butter etc. any NON-stick would work fine.
They are pretty much the same thing. I always use crisco when it says to use vegetable oil. You'll be fine with either one.
Crisco is Vegetable Oil, so yes...
I think so
Crisco is a brand name. Crisco makes shortening, cooking oil, and cooking spray. If the recipe says to grease the pan with vegetable oil then that is what you should use. I would use something like a paper towel or a napkin to spread it evenly across the pan.
You can use crisco, margerine, butter or oil. The oil won't cling as thick to the sides of the pan, but should work fine, as cookies are usually high in fat and don't stick to the pan to bad.

How can you tell if french fries have been cooked in vegetable oil or beef lard/drippings?

Can you identify, by taste, if french fries have been cooked in beef lard or drippings, and if so how? What's the difference in taste between that and if they are cooked in vegetable oil?How can you tell if french fries have been cooked in vegetable oil or beef lard/drippings?
Not sure how to differentiate between them.


You can do like me and not eat deep fried anything... greasy food is disgusting.How can you tell if french fries have been cooked in vegetable oil or beef lard/drippings?
most places don't use lard or drippings but i would think one could definately tast it if they did. it's a pretty strong difference. if you're eating out, you can ask.
since when is vegetable oil vegetarian?
If they taste good they were cooked in animal fat.
ask whoever is making them ...................


Yes defenitely a difference in taste , lard leaves a film on the roof of your mouth .....


also if youre familiar with the aroma of vegetable oil you can smell the difference too ...........
check for animal fur/.

Why is it illegal to convert your car to run on vegetable oil?

*Technically* - because of the Clean Air Act, the EPA requires all fuels to undergo testing. No one has officially registered vegetable oil as a fuel, so it doesn't get tested. For that reason, legally/technically speaking, according to the federal government, it's illegal (the fuel itself, not the conversion), and theoretically you could get fined.





However, the EPA isn't monitoring it. I doubt anyone has ever been fined. Especially when it does not increase the emissions.Why is it illegal to convert your car to run on vegetable oil?
some states its illegal to do if you don't pay taxes on it, part of the taxes in gas is used for maintenance of the roads , so when you use veg oil you don't pay taxes for the wear and tear you put on the road, also its mostly that big oil co. have politicians in their pocket and get laws pasted so people don't cut into their huge profits.Why is it illegal to convert your car to run on vegetable oil?
It is not illegal in IL, but initial cost may prohibit use. You need to get filters and pumps, storage barrels, and a steady supply of oil. Besides you will not get very good mileage or power out of it. Bio-diesel sucks!
It depends where you live. Its usually more expensive than illegal to make that conversion.
It is not illegal in Ohio, where are you located?
idk maybe in some state it illegal.
its not..

Is vegetable oil the same as regular shortening?

Making a white cake.Is vegetable oil the same as regular shortening?
No, you shouldn't substitute oils for a solid fat, or vice versa. Try using apple sauce or other fruit puree. It'll make the cake dense, and moist.Is vegetable oil the same as regular shortening?
I always use butter, but any shortening will work- vegetable oil, crisco, or margarine. DO NOT USE OLIVE OIL!!!!! Good luck.

Can vegans have vegetable oil or olive oil?

I would think that they could but i've been reding up on it and they don't really say anything about either (especially olive oil) in either the positive or negative sense. In addition to that, could they have margarine that doesn't contain whey?Can vegans have vegetable oil or olive oil?
If I could recommend anything, it would be coconut oil because it contains a higher level of saturated fat. Veggans have a very high risk of developing intestinal deseases because of their lack of saturated fat. Our cell's walls are made of Saturated fat and Cholestoral. Don't forget that. Of course, protein and fat are also necessary to heal our bodies. Olive Oil is a lot better for you than Vegetable because of the extraction and heating process the oil companies use to make the oil from Soy and others. It is like eating the opposite of Vitamin C. (Vegetable Oil is Oxidized and Vitamin C is an Anti-Oxidant) As for margarine, it is made out of Vegetable Oil with added chemicals. (after the heating process, the butter is gray and must be flavored and dyed) It is 3 times as bad for you. Hopefully there is a better substitute out there that doesn't contain Soy Oil.





I have a lot of respect for what you're doing if it's to protect animals form being killed. But if you're doing it just for your health, I'd at least eat real butter, eggs and other stuff with higher amounts of fat. You need it BAD.Can vegans have vegetable oil or olive oil?
yes they can it is only animal products, any product that has no animal product is okay
Yes they can. Vegans just don't eat anything that comes from an animal.





They could have margarine, but check the label carefully to ensure it contains no animal products.
Olive Oil - Yes


Vegetable Oil - Yes


Margarine sans whey - read the label, but I prefer earth balance.
The question answers itself-OLIVES, not from animals/VEGETABLES, not from animals. Most margarines do have some kind of animal products but there are some that are vegan.
Of course we can have vegetable oil and olive oil... they're made from vegetables. And olives.





You can find vegan margarine. Earth Balance non-hydrogenated buttery spread is labeled 100% vegan and it's really good (better than any margarine I ever tried as an omnivore.)
I would assume off the bat that olive oil would be ok, b/c it is made strictly from pressed olives. But as far as vegans go, I would think that the source, where it is made..the process by which it is made....( like in a factory where no animal product is processed etc.) As little as I know about Vegans, I do know that they don't eat meat(doh) or by products of meat. Therefore olive oil is not made from meat, but could be considered ';corrupt'; if made ina factory that process' meat :)





When it comes to Vegans, it's on an ethical standard too.
Vegans can have anything that isn't meat or isn't an animal product (that would include silk, wool, honey, etc).





I enjoy olive oil all the time in my cooking, and vegetable oils are fine too.





Yes, dairy-free margarine is fine (as long as it is 100% plant-sourced).
Well, Popeye can have Olive Oyl with his spinach.
Are there animal products in vegetable or olive oils? No.


You may want to research what vegan means.
yes a vegetarian can have olive oil, but i'm not sure about the other things. There are different degrees of vegetarians and the ones that eat olive oil are called fruitarians. They eat only fruits, nuts, honey, %26amp; olive oil
