Best Answer

No, cooking with vegetable oil has no benefit to the environment.

Using vegetable oil to run your diesel vehicle, on the other hand, does help the environment, because burning vegetable oil (unlike fossil fuel oil) does not add extra carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. (The carbon dioxide released was removed from the atmosphere recently, when the vegetable was grown, part of the carbon cycle.)

Is canola oil considered vegetable oil?

"Cooking oil" is actually a broad term for purified fat derived from plants which is normally liquid at room temperature. "Vegetable oil," when used to label a cooking oil product may refer to a specific oil like rapeseed oil or to a blend of different oils. Not all vegetable oils are edible - some are useful only as fuel oils. Not all cooking oils are vegetable oils - for example there are several nut oils and oils from gourds and melons that can be used in cooking. The non-vegetable cooking oils are seldom used in baking, so for the purposes of baking, the terms cooking oil and vegetable oil are pretty much interchangeable. Any recipe that calls for one can use the other interchangeably with the caveat that some oils are lower fat than others and some of them are more tolerant to heat than others. Olive oil can be substituted for cooking oil, but it changes the flavor a little bit.
