Crisco Pure Corn Oil is a versatile kitchen staple, perfect for all your cooking needs. This 0-gallon container ensures you have plenty of this light and neutral-tasting oil on hand. Corn oil is extracted from the germ of the corn kernel, resulting in a refined oil that's excellent for frying, baking, sautéing, and even salad dressings. Its high smoke point makes it ideal for deep frying, allowing you to achieve crispy, golden-brown results without the oil breaking down. Think perfectly fried plantains, crispy chicken, or golden-brown fritters. Beyond frying, corn oil's mild flavor won't overpower your baked goods, making it a great choice for cakes, muffins, and cookies. You can even use it to create flavorful marinades for meats and vegetables.
Nutritionally, Crisco Corn Oil is a source of vitamin E and polyunsaturated fatty acids. It's cholesterol-free and low in saturated fat.
