  Knife brand is nice because it is a blended cocktail of oils for really good fragrance

  Olive oil is the healthiest.

  Sometimes we do use olive oil but we prefer to buy the extra virgin ones for salads.
  
  Then again, we're currently hooked on this Japanese salad sauce which is a mix of sauces and mirin.
  
  Moderation is the key usually

  Anyone tried that Carrot oil before?
  
  My mum bought it once and the color it gave the food put us off. The taste is ok just that the orange stains the food and it looks soooo yucky
  
  Oilve oil you cannot use the extra virgin or virgin oil to cook. You must take just plain oilve oil if not the fragrance will kill the taste of the food.

  speaking of olive oil .... try using it when you're baking a cake next time ..... healthier than butter .... and the cake will come out wonderfully moist ....

  Take note: extra virgin olive oil is not meant to be heated at very high temperatures or the oil may turn toxic. It cannot withstand high temp without breaking down, so forget about using it for frying, and the result won't turn out good anyway.
  
  I used rooster brand peanut oil for normal cooking, and extra virgin olive oil for vege (stir fried at low temp).
  
  Didn't know rice bran also got oil?

  Storage wise
  
  They are usually based on 12kg conversion if possible
  
  So...
  
  500g, means 24 in 1 carton
  1kg, 12 in 1 carton
  2kg, 6 in 1 carton
  3kg, 4 in 1 carton
  5kg, 2 in 1 carton
  
  17kg is loose, 1 unit
