Can you mix peanut oil with canola oil when frying turkey?

You could re-use peanut oil after deep frying your turkey, but its not recommended. Reheating cooking oil, any cooking oil, causes the oil to release certain chemicals and toxins that aren't good for consumption, so its not the best idea. 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...

What to substitute vegetable oil in waffles?

I personally substitute vegetable oil with canola oil. It is low in saturated fat and healthier for you. Some canola oils also contain omega 3, which many doctors recommend to their patients.

*** Any other oil, corn, canola , olive , can be used as a substitute.( Even melted margarine or butter with limits) . Its mostly the flavor the fat brings to the dish or recipe that will be the difference. I'm over simplifying , but with out more info as to what you are preparing .. that's about it.

Another good substitute for vegetable oil is apple sauce. It is healthier, but it does surprisingly taste very good and as it would with the oil. We didn't have any types of oil, and I found that apple sauce answer on yahoo answers. Cool! (:

Is soybean oil a carbohydrate or fat?

Soybean oil is a vegetable-derived polyunsaturated fat. Fats are oils produced either by animals or plants. Examples of animal fats: butter, cream, lard. Examples of other vegetable or plant-derived fats/oils: Olive oil, peanut oil, palm oil, corn oil, margerine, and coconut oil.

Carbohydrates are found in starchy foods, fruits, vegetables, and sugar. Examples of carbohydrates are beans, breads, potatoes, cake, oranges, apples, peas, squash.

Another component of foods that our bodies require are proteins. Proteins are found in meats, fish, cheese and other dairy products, wheat, and combinations of specific foods when eaten at the same time, such as pasta or rice with beans. These combinations create 'complete' proteins which are also those found in fish, meat and dairy.

Can you use sesame oil in cake mix?

Yes you can :) A good oil to use is canola because it's virtually taste-less. Olive oil is fine but may give your dessert a slightly olive-y taste. I love using coconut oil because it most resembles butter (solid at room temperature) and I love the subtle creamy/ coconutty flavor it has.

What is the method to separate vegetable oil and water?

It depends on the proportions and which of the liquids you need at the end. The likelihood is that the alcohol will have emulsified the oil and water so the starting material will have no layers. The method often used to separate mixtures of liquids is fractional distillation, though it's not possible to produce completely pure alcohol by this method. If you don't need the water you can first remove it with a drying agent.

What can you replace vegetable oil with?

You can replace it with other types of oil (corn, grapeseed, olive, ect.) or use applesauce instead.
