What is a good substitute for canola oil?

Answer by  AimeyBakes (16)

Depending on the desired flavor, other oils such as vegetable oil, extra virgin olive oil, or even sesame or peanut oil can act as a good substitute for canola oil. In some instances, even melted butter or margarine can substitute as well.

Canola oil is a type of plant-based oil that has near to no taste. Therefore, you can use vegetable oil or another plant-derived oil in its place. Other acceptable plant-derived oils include corn, sunflower, or peanut oil. Just be sure to use an oil that has no distinctive taste, or else you might have a strange concoction.

It depends on what you are using it for, but generally you can substitute any neutral-flavored oil, such as regular vegetable oil, corn oil, or soybean oil.

Well, I don't know about a substitute, but I can tell you depending on what your making DON'T use vegetable oil. If it goes in the oven and the recipe calls for canola oil, DON'T use vegetable oil. I know from experience it doesnt cook right.
