Canola oil received the thumbs-up from Oprah Winfrey herself on a recent episode of her TV show. During the May 14 Oprah and Gayle’s Big Spa Adventure episode, Oprah cooked alongside Miraval Spa chef Mary Nearn, using canola oil to sear a salmon fillet.
"I use a canola oil," said Nearn. "It's very neutral; it doesn't burn very easily either." Then Oprah chimed in, "Canola - I like canola too."
To emphasize the point, text appeared on the screen Mary's Tip: Canola oil doesn't burn easily. Mary and Oprah also discussed how to make a little oil go a long way, and how to recognize that the food is absorbing little of the oil.
