Flaxseed oil is not good to cook with, because it becomes rancid when exposed to heat and light. At this point it is actually a carcinogen (causes cancer). I would advise olive oil to cook with, if you are heating the food. Peanut oil is a slightly cheaper option, if that is a concern.

Do you have to refrigerate whole flax seed?
Unless you are going to use the flax seed rather quickly it should be stored in the refrigerator. Flax seed's wonderful oils are prone to rancidity if left at room temperature for too long a period of time. I always store my flours, nuts and seeds in the fridge and freezer to prevent rancidity. You'll know it when you smell it. It's like opening a bag of crackers that's been in your pantry for 7 months and they smell beyond stale, they smell rancid. Yuck! Protect your Omega 3 oils in that flax by keeping it cool. :)
