Cooking Oil Deals & Offers

Can you please explain how to go about to use normal oil in my car? As this the first time I've ever heard of it and it's quit interesting Topic to me. Many thanks in advance m8.

Thanks for the info. Love to hear other opinions. 'Experts' are always slamming other people's research...often whoever's got the bigger backer ($$$) wins. And these people paying for the research have a vested interest. For e.g most avocado positive research has been paid for by the Hass Avocado Group of suppliers! Not necessarily meaning it's not true, but harder for me to buy into it when the people who want to sell you something are paying for research to prove it's good for you. Just look at the cock-up with Diesel cars... Lack of physical work must also have an impact. My grandparents would eat more sugary (home-made) snacks and plenty of bread and dairy, but they lived a ripe old age with no significant health issues. Grandfather was a railroad worker and grandma was a housewife with no dishwasher, washing machine etc. They used sunflower and cottonseed oils with no ill effects - maybe it was produced differently? It certainly wasn't as cheap as it is now. I really can't stand the taste of coconut oil in my recipes requiring a fair bit of heat. Avocado oil I have not tried. UPDATE: Just looked at the price of Avocado Oil! £3 per 100ml. No chance! I will take the risk of living without it - i'm sure I will be fine! I may switch back to groundnut oil instead of sunflower. I am not concerned about the cholesterol issues surrounding groundnut (peanut) oil as I get enough 'good' cholesterol and look after my self in general. My preference is to rather eat an avocado (whole fruit benefits) than the oil. Same with EVOO - rather eat olives (whole fruit benefits). I cut down drastically on EVOO (been 2 years) and I don't notice any changes to be honest. Speaking of whole foods, I received this link earlier today... nomeatathlete.com/oil/ Not had a chance to go through but a couple of other articles of his were interesting.

I appreciate that you come from a food industry, but my brother is a nutritionist and my best friend is a chemical researcher for a leading food company, and also the links you posted have been slammed by leading specialists in the field of cardiology.See here RE: coconut oil The main form of oil in this is MCT which can be brought separately from health food stores and is scientifically proven to be the best saturated fat for our bodies. Closely followed by lauric acid which is again, you guessed it, in said oils. Sunflower oil is extracted using the same chemicals used in leather, shoes and roofing. It is terrible for you and while in moderation won't directly kill, is a direct link to heart issues, cholesterol problems, and there are studies now into what the production process itself does to us too. If it isn't coming out naturally, we shouldn't be forcing the oil out. Funny you should mention Cancer too, as if you look into what cancer actually needs to live, it is not fat or oil but carbs. It lives off the carbs (glucose) in our system, so an anti-cancer effect would be actually eating MORE fat, good quality meat, and limiting those biscuits you mentioned. (Perhaps biased coming from a ketogenic dieter, but I've lost 8kg in a month and feel awesome so..) Agree on your points about booze and exercise, always vital to keep fit. Also super agree on your choice to use Ghee and butter, but I would lose the sunflower and use coconut or avocado, or olive if you can't afford those, cos they are pricier. And as always, this is intended purely for debate and not for insult. :)

I have just found this oil in the Leyland extra store but it isn't with the other oils it is opposite the fresh bread on the end of an isle, this is fore you joeseager.

With the symptoms that you describe, there are two issues at play. Assuming the vehicle is suitable for use with vegetable oil: (1) Using vegetable oil (in any percentage mix) in an ageing diesel vehicle has the effect of freeing up historical petro-based 'gunge deposits' in the fuel pipes. Those deposits are/were happy to stay clinging to the insides of the tank/pipes when continuing to use diesel fuel. BUT, after a few weeks/months of using vegetable oil, it's the vegetable oil that frees-up/scours those petro-based gunge deposits, and they then flow, and get stick in, the fuel system ports/orifices (including the pipes themselves). That leads to blocked pipes, and worse. It has happened to me. (2) Prolonged, constant use of vegetable oil will lead to vegetable-based gums forming in the tank, pipes and diesel pump (think of an old frying pan, where the vegetable oil has never been fully cleaned from its surface). Thinning down the tank's vegetable oil with a small percentage of petrol helps deter bacterial growth in the tank, and helps winter/cold starts, but 'fuel system gumming' will still occur. The best course of action is to use one full tank of diesel for every three or four full tanks of vegetable oil. That way, the regular tank of diesel will clean the system through before any significant gumming builds up.

BTW, tesco veg oil is rapeseed oil

Tinfoil hat time.

Rapseed oil is a silent poison. Be aware. Just do a simple google search and u wil find how in the fifties & sixties this oil was banned due to chemicals it contained linked to cancer esp when the oil is heated.

Woops forgot to say it's tesco

Also good in the bedroom! Careful at those high temps though ;) (and around any latex/rubber)

Solid as a Rock !!!!! (highfive) (horror)

Does this go solid during the cold weather?

Nearly 900g of saturated fat right there. Gotta be tasty!

we use it all the time and it doesn't smoke when we are cooking unrefined coconut oil starts to smoke at temperatures greater than 350 degrees, so I don't know what you are cooking at that temperature

None in Watford Costco anyone going to get

Oh lord they are lovely

But tesco dont have chicken bakes the size if my arm for £3.30 to eat while you shop (cheeky)

Also £3.50 in Tesco - has been for a few weeks

£3.50 at Asda where you dont have to pay any membership fees :)

Put it on the front seat, keeps beeping at me.

It's also good to rub all over your body and pretend your a slug whilst naked

These offers are popular with asian families as all recipes use oil and alot of them have three homemade meals a day. Also they’ll be buying on behalf of friends/family who can’t get to the supermarket.

Dated until July 2019

Asda barking had these on offer at same price yesterday

Avoid any KTC product its terrible, cheap and nasty Its what all the restaurants use to save money and poison customers!

That's a vegetable oil.

And your annual wage was £240.

It's still £5 in my local Tesco and also the website states "on delivery " so it might be an online offer

Old Peugeot Diesels love this stuff.

How do you know the Veg oil is rapeseed oil?

Not always :) https://www.sainsburys.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/gb/groceries/ktc-vegtable-oil-5l?langId=44&storeId=10151&krypto=Hz2f6zXoaENReCMHo2IxDDJYVTBIUPKGw4eoM1pibHFOcs9azpG5Qmma8rQ48FDbyRVCGUDzmtxUCQD5wVKIA02ChFiqEIxRTKUYXk5tFtfoztxSd2Cce7dLFjxVfloDWkGvNVyuBhPPI+iS9ih09FEXTObq06by5NpYIu5LGy0/TdjxRQfyEZ0e/+KMN9fmMJOLOlc3qfEj6UZIAZTYct+pHPoIS+2dbtVZuqkMUcaVV3UyYGwh0GQ3iuUp8B3m0Tzre2V3RBfzidtg6kPNuaxgWzSbWTP3nFXKLlXNKCeZx9rHsOFCACXtXthDVS9PqZ8Rhd+8liRKZWI6gvKySzUhjlsuYTxuQ0JwFhkQT7LLLh9aR1A1t+GWqUcJ5m7GehZFwb8XhBM290pW3AbXOA==&ddkey=https:gb/groceries/ktc-vegtable-oil-5l

'Vegetable oil' is always rapeseed oil. Some bright spark a few years ago realised it could be marketed as rapeseed to make more money and blam here we are today with a litre of vegetable oil sitting on the shelf at £1.20 and litre of rapeseed oil sitting next to it at £2/£3.

Hopefully, this is rapeseed oil like it usually is

It's a £1000 fine They don't take your vehicle u can save that in 6 months

Don't worry, I am just waiting for the car to give any problem that requires a expensive "ish" job to scrap it. It has served me well and is now too small for our family.

100% rapeseed

Is it vegetable or rapeseed oil please clarify thanks

Its not gonna be any worse if you use vegetable oil, it burns about the same as diesel. Check the turbo, air filter and egr vavle, are the most common causes of a smokey diesel engine...

Thanks for posting. Always buy when on offer. Went instore today, offer not marked up on shelf but scanned at £2. Would never have found it myself.

(highfive)

Thanks for posting. Onto the next deal (y)

(mad)

Pff (fierce)

all gone sorry folks must have only been 2 grrrrrr

Thats next months car travel sorted, thanks OP

Been this price for a couple of weeks

I noticed in my local Asda someone had hidden some bottles right at the back behind other oils. I took them out & put one of them at the front in clear view & I know whoever hid them will have no chance of getting the last bottle. The rest I bought myself.

With diesel at £1.20 a litre are you surprised?!

Asda In sutton Its £3.80

​Depends on which one is closer. After all you save petrol if you are going to nearest one. only 20p difference.

£3.80 at Asda.

£3.5 at Asda in-store

Item unavailable from your link

ok thanks for the info

Depends what engine youve got. Bio diesel, used veg oil and straight veg oil is a very big subject in and of itself,with a huge amount of info online. But I can tell you that I ran my Skoda Fabia 1.9 SDi on fresh tesco veg oil and ktc soya veg oil a few years ago for quite a few miles. I topped up the bottles with white spirit and left them overnight then poured it in. Ran fine from Manchester to Endinburgh and for a month or two general use, but eventually it did become harder to start and white smoke on startup, so I changed the fuel filter, ran a liqui moly diesel cleaning additive through it and switched back to normal diesel as I couldn't be bothered damaging my car for the minimal savings. Basically if you do it in warmer weather on an older more simple diesel, preferably non turbo, 8 valve with a bosch pump/injectors that isnt worth much and you mix in abit of petrol/diesel/white spirit (non kerosene based for tax reasons) and you use an additive from time to time then you will probably get away with it for quite some time, if not for the life of the vehicle. VAG SDi, Pug XUD and Old Merc 300 D are favourites, Plus the old non turbo Renault/Iveco/Fiat/Citroen/Peugeot "Sofim" van engines would be also probs be ideal. If you want to do it properly then you should get an svo heater kit fitted or build a bio diesel refinery in your back garden.

any good for my diesel

Time to start filling up the van at Asda again

£3.80 in asda, if you are not a member of costco https://groceries.asda.com/search/SUNFLOWER%20OIL%205L this post still hot

says "100% sunflower oil" 2 times on the label. But don't make sense if you sell as vegetable oil. They deliberately forget to include the seeds or another mix.

Excellent find op, heat added

Surely if you use cooking oil the tax shouldn't apply :{ lol

Is this rapeseed or soya? Does the label say?

Cheap to fill up my diesel car. Need to save some cash before the diesel tax comes in!

Great price! Ordered a few between family members for free click and collect.

Thanks for the mention of olive oil too.

Great deal just bought some

£3.50 mate cheap fuel.

This was £3 last time they had it on offer.

Sunflower oil is not good for health. Much better olive oil or rapeseed oil. But I use the butter flavour oil of this brand to spray lightly sometimes. I guess butter flavour will be same price as sunflower oil.

Think this product is on offer in many of the supermarket chains, being promoted ahead of pancake day. I prefer to use as little oil as possible so I like using this spray. Lasts for ages too so good value. Heat added.

​I can't tell the difference and it's 95% less fat.

This stuff is a comfort blanket for fat people. As long as they are happy!

​​yeah works a treat, if you put naan bread on the spokes as you cycle heats it up to a nice brown as well.

You beat me to it I was just going to put that.

Yea noticed when I searched to make sure wasn't stepping on anyone's toes, when I posted it, though in holiday season more than useful ingredient, rest of year kebab is fav oil

been for 2 quid for a long time in asda aswell

Oos

still a tenner in handforth dean

OOS?

thanx

Thank u! Ordered and heat added
