Can I use regular cooking oil?

Coconut Oil works best. Cleans easier. Tastes better. I wouldn't use vegetable or canola oil. they get so gummy....and are not as heat tolerant as the coconut oil. I don't use any popcorn oil product. Only Coconut Oil, and real butter after it is done popping.

No it is not recommended that you use regular cooking oil. Oils heat up and cook differently so it's important to use popcorn oil. I've found it at my food store near all the other popcorn selections...

I'm not sure but popcorn oil is cheap enough at any grocery store. You only need a tablespoon at a time.

That I am unsure about, but my instinct says not to use exept exactly what the directions say. The pans have many bad reviews about stuff sticking to the pan , so it could have been a case of not seasoning it correctly, so I would try to use veggie oil if I could

Yes, I personally like to use a little oil/spray before cooking. Keeps the pan in new condition and food tastes better.

Yes you can use olive oil, sesame oil, or coconut oil. These are all carrier oils.

Yes, you can use oil. I use extra virgin olive oil because it's better for you and only very little. I put the popcorn in then drizzle a little oil, move the kernels around with a spoon or whatever to get the kernels a little coated, then microwave. I used to use the microwave bags, no more, I love this popcorn popper!!

You can, but I mix it with bread crumbs or something else when I fry something. You need to fry at a lower heat than normal or it will burn.

NO you cannot pressure fry in any regular pressure cooker it is dangerous! You need a very special pressure fryer and they cost over $300

You can use it in place of oil and butter in most recipes, it is an acquired taste, however we love it and I use it in most things.

Yes you can! As a matter of fact they work great for cooking meats that you don't want sitting in their oils!

Yes but I dilute it a bit with some other oils, either jojoba or olive oil. Jojoba is best. U can use it straight but it will burn and irritate a bit

If all you are going to do is discard the grease and not use it for further cooking, there is no reason you can't mix them. However, if you are going to use them for cooking, I wouldn't mix bacon grease with canola oil, for example, for deep frying.

You can, but I don't think that's a good idea. It supposes to cook rice only, oily food will decrease its useing time.

DO NOT USE ESSENTIAL OILS FOR COOKING!!!!!essential oils are highly concentrated for aromatherapy, cosmetic, and medicinal use. they can not be used in place of culinary oils or extracts. If you are looking for food safe oils to use in recipeis please consider a brand like LorAnn specifically made for culinary use. If you were to try to replace a recognized culinary oil or extract (keep in mind extracts are not as concentrated as oils) with an essential oil you run the risk of making you or someone else sick at worst and making your food inedible at best.

Yes, the oil I purchased is cold pressed and can be used in its present state, or you can warm it up to melt it.

I'm not sure. I have used it for regular cooking and for salad dressing. I learned about it on Dr. Oz so you may ask him or just search it on the net. I searched it and is says yes but, you may want to search and read to decided for yourself. Search "is rice bran oil for deep frying". Good luck. I like using it.

I bought the one recommended on line, but you can use vegetable oil if you prefer to do that.

I personally would not use it for that. For cooking I use only the coconut oil that comes in a glass jar.
