It's been years since I've bought conventional cooking oils like Crisco and Mazola. These oils go through an insane amount of processing with chemical solvents, steamers, neutralizers, de-waxers, bleach and deodorizers before they end up in that innocent-looking bottle in your kitchen.
I used to think those were my only options...but then I figured out healthier ways to cook at home.
The Only Cooking Oils In My Kitchen Today:
I cook with a variety of oils, depending on what I'm cooking. Only certain oils are stable when exposed to heat, so I choose those oils for sautéing and stir frying––and the others work great for cold items like salad dressing.
I generally look for unrefined, expeller pressed organic oils. It's really important to choose organic as GMOs and hexane extraction are prohibited in organic oil production.
- Organic Coconut Oil – Made of medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) that actually reduce cholesterol and obesity, unlike other saturated fats. Great for high-heat cooking up to 400°F when you get the steam-refined version.
- Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil – Best used for cold applications like salad dressings, not high-heat cooking.
- Organic Grass-fed Butter and Ghee – Good for cooking when you want that rich, buttery flavor.
- Organic Avocado Oil – Good for high heat applications.
- Organic Extra-Virgin Sesame Oil – Best for low-heat sautéing or as a condiment.
And there's another option...
Use Cookware that Requires NO Butter or Oil!
When you cook with conventional pans, you're not just adding unnecessary fats (or toxic refined seed oils!) – you're also destroying nutrients and creating a mess that's a hassle to clean.
But here's what I learned when I switched to 360 Cookware:
The cookware itself becomes your "oil."
Their surgical-grade lidded stainless steel creates a tight seal. Add just a tablespoon of water to pan, put on their lid, and it creates steam that cooks your food perfectly – without any added fats.
The result?
- Food that's more flavorful and retains nutrients
- Never sticks to the pan
- Easy cleanup (just rinse with warm water)
- No toxic free radicals from heated oils
I've been using my 360 Cookware for years, and it still looks brand new. This cookware will literally last you a lifetime.
Here's the bottom line:
You can keep cooking with toxic refined oils that are processed to death–or you can eliminate oils entirely with cookware that actually works and saves you clean-up time.
Whether you start with the 3.5 Quart Sauté Pan or invest in a full set, you'll never go back to conventional cookware.
Don't serve another meal cooked with ultra-processed oils.
Your family deserves better.

P.S. I know stainless steel cookware can feel like a big investment, but when you break it down by cost-per-use over a lifetime, it's actually the most economical choice. Plus, you're protecting your family from the toxic chemicals found in non-stick coatings.
