The American Heart Association recommends:

• Canola oil, which has a mild flavor that can be used to saute, marinate, bake or fry.
• Olive oil, which comes in a variety of flavors and can be used for roasting, grilling and sauteing.
• Peanut oil, which can be used to make homemade peanut butter, and for stir-frying, baking, roasting and frying.
