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.

You could re-use peanut oil after deep frying your turkey, but its not recommended.

If you want to get the most out of your cooking oil dollar, consider deep frying a second turkey, or perhaps a beef roast, along with your holiday bird. You can always debone and freeze the meat, and eat later.

Deep fried turkey is wonderful, the best turkey I've ever had.

Can you substitute olive oil for vegetable oil when making waffles?

Olive oil CAN be used for frying, but you must have a HIGH quality, Virgin or Extra Virgin olive oil before attempting to cook with it. Various industry sources tend to place the Smoke Point of High Grade olive oil at around 400 degrees Fahrenheit and most frying is done somewhere UNDER 375 degrees, so this shouldn't be an issue.

There are two main methods of frying and the relative merits of each method as it pertains to Olive Oil is as follows:

1) Saute'/Pan Frying.

Pan frying requires a relatively small amount of oil and therefore is a rather economical method of frying food. Since E.V. olive oil tends to have a strong (but pleasant) flavor, this method works well with strong flavored foods such as onions, garlic, peppers, asparagus etc.

2) Deep Frying.

While it's COMPLETELY possible to deep fry in High Grade olive oil, it's Pure Lunacy to do so. Virgin and Extra Virgin olive oil tends to cost ( I'm guessing here... ) about 3-5 times as much as decent vegetable oil and in general, would leave battered and/or breaded foods with WAY TOO MUCH oil flavor. On the other hand, if neither of those characteristics is an issue for you, then...
