Cooking oil is a must-have in any kitchen. It’s essential for most stove-cooked dishes since it prevents food from sticking or burning on metal surfaces. Cooking oil boosts the fat content of meals, making food more filling and infusing it with extra flavor. There are many different types of cooking oils out there, and picking the best one for your meal can be a tricky decision.
One of the most popular cooking oils is olive oil, which has a light flavor. It’s rich in antioxidants and is considered to be the healthiest and most versatile of cooking oils. Refined sesame oil is another healthy option full of antioxidants and adds a slightly stronger flavor than olive oil. Its high smoke point makes it ideal for sautéed dishes as well as high-temperature stir-frying.
Another oil that offers a subtle yet distinct flavor is coconut oil. It is fattier, which means it contains more saturated fat. It’s a great substitute for other oils because it can be used in a huge variety of dishes. It’s also an excellent choice for baking. Another common cooking oil is peanut oil, which has a medium-high smoke point and is great for deep-frying and stir- frying. Peanut oil also works well in large-batch frying, which is why it is very prominent in the fast-food industry.
Then there is canola oil, a generic vegetable oil developed in Canada in the 1970s. It is usually less fatty than other cooking oils. This makes it a great choice for people trying to lose weight.
While some oils may be better for certain dishes, there’s never really a wrong option. Cooking is a creative art, and there’s nothing wrong with experimenting with different oils to find the perfect taste for your dish.

介紹形容詞子句化簡為分詞片語的用法
形容詞子句化簡為分詞片語
※ 在限定修飾的形容詞子句(即關係代名詞前無逗點) 中，若關係代名詞為主詞時，該形容詞子句可化簡為 分詞片語，化簡原則如下:
1) 刪除關係代名詞
2) 之後的動詞改為現在分詞
3) 若動詞為 be 動詞，變成現在分詞 being 後可省略。
• The bed (which was) assigned to me in the cabin was small and uncomfortable.
我在船艙中被分配到的床位既小又不舒服。
在形容詞子句中，若關係代名詞 which 代替前面整 個句子，此時要用逗號與主要子句隔開，該形容詞 子句亦可化簡為分詞片語。(本文即為此用法)
• The fin of a shark emerged from the ocean, causing (= which caused) swimmers to panic.
一隻鯊魚的鰭從海中浮現，導致泳客驚慌。
形容詞子句亦可化簡為同位語
※ 非限定修飾的形容詞子句句構若為:
who / which + be + N
此時就可化簡為先行詞的同位語，即:
1) 刪除關係代名詞 who 或 which
2) 之後的 be 動詞變成現在分詞 being
3) 再將 being 省略，形成同位語。
• I’m going to have dinner with Ken, (who is) a good friend of mine.
我要和阿肯 ── 我的一位好友 ── 一起吃晚餐。
• Sean is going to quit his job, (which is) shocking news to all of us.

食用油是廚房中的必備品。它對於多數用爐子烹煮的菜 餚來說是不可或缺的，因為它可以防止食物在金屬表面上沾 黏或燒焦。食用油可以提高食物的脂肪含量、使食物更有飽 足感，並為它們增添額外的風味。食用油的類型有很多，如 何為你的料理挑選最好的食用油可能是一個棘手的決定。
最受歡迎的食用油之一是橄欖油，它的味道很淡。橄 欖油富含抗氧化劑，並且被認為是最健康和用途最廣的食用 油。另一個健康的選項是精煉芝麻油，它的抗氧化劑含量也 很高，味道比橄欖油更強一點。精煉芝麻油的冒煙點高，是 炒菜和高溫快炒的首選。
另一種能帶來微妙而獨特風味的油是椰子油。它脂肪含 量更高，也就是其含有更多飽和脂肪。椰子油因為能用於多 數的料理中，因此是其他油很好的替代品。它也是烘焙的最 佳選擇。另一種常見的食用油是花生油，它有著中等高的冒 煙點，非常適合用於油炸和快炒。花生油在大批量的油炸中也很好用，這就是它在速食業十分突出的原因。
另外還有芥花油，它是 1970 年代於加拿大研發的一種 普通植物油。芥花油脂肪含量通常比其他食用油低。這使得 它成為想要減重的人的最佳選擇。
