Pure oil refers to the fact that the oil was obtained from a single type of plant (fruit, seeds, kernels). Blended oils are a mixture of two or more pure oils. They can be a good choice if you are looking for some particular flavor that is obtained by mixing some particular types of oil.
Tips for cooking with oil
1. Use flavorless oil for frying.
2. Use strongly flavored oil for dressings, marinades and dips.
3. Replace butter with oil whenever possible. Instead of putting butter on bread, try using a dip of olive oil.
4. Use a bit of oil on meats while grilling or roasting to keep the juices inside and to help brown.
5. Heat the oil before frying. The food will be less greasy as it will not soak excess oil.
