I popped in after reading an article about your neighborhood on eichlernetwork.com (congrats again on the remodel; it’s really lovely) and I’m pleased to find this. We can no longer fry with peanut oil since the kiddo is allergic and rice oil looks like a fabulous replacement. Thanks!

Does anyone know where I can find a comparison between avocado oil and rice bran oil? I’ve been trying to google it, but haven’t really found anything useful.

It can be used to dip bread, maybe adding a little fresh rosemary and ground parmesan, quite nicely. The oil also makes for a good base for vinegar-and-oil salad dressings, though the lightness of flavor means that you need a lot less vinegar to balance the oil.

[ED: it can and it works well... however, your spammy spam spamness has been deleted.]

i have to point out that ‘healthy’ sort of depends on your particular blood lipid issues and genetics. while its true that these listed oils are either low cholesterol or no cholesterol, on the other hand they tend to be very high in triglycerides. unfortunately, there are many humans who don’t metabolize these oils well, triglycerides can build up in the blood to contribute to atherosclerosis.

a brief search on the net showed me that this is not talked about much. instead, you’ll see that “vegetable oils are better than lard”, and some oils are better than others. all true. but if you happen to have a serum trigly >500, then you’d be better off baking than frying.

I’ve been using peanut oil for quite a while now for stir-frying. I wasn’t aware of rice oil, I think I’ll have to give it a try.

Just discovered there was such a thing as rice oil several weeks ago – probably from the same source you did as I tend to read all the comments. Haven’t tried it yet, but it’s on my after-Thanksgiving list!

I use avocado oil. It has a 491°F smoke point, and I hear it’s one of the healthiest oils there is, though I haven’t seen a breakdown like the one you posted for rice oil.

On a parenthetical note, the other problem with grapeseed oil is that it tastes like garbage in oil form.
