Best Answer

Castor Oil has been used for centuries. However, it has a strong taste and was used as a strong laxative in the past. There are better natural laxatives these days. The flavor of the oil will upset the flavor of what you are cooking and should not be used. Most will find the flavor quite unpleasant. Use olive oil instead when needing an oil for browning meat or stir fry. Use a vegetable oil or butter for baking when called for.
