What is Cooking Oil?

Cooking oil is a plant, animal, or synthetic liquid fat used in frying, baking, and other types of cooking.
It is also used in food preparation and flavoring not involving heat, such as salad dressings and bread dips, and may be called edible oil.

Does cooking oil go bad after use?
Vegetable oil typically lasts for 12 to 18 months and definitely can go bad.
Like other fat-based products, it’s slowly going rancid at all times, and at some point, it’s not good enough to use anymore.
