Oils are often labeled “salad” or “vegetable” oil and typically these contain mixtures of soy, safflower, sunflower, corn, or peanut oil. A blend labeled “for frying” may be less expensive and is likely to be based on cottonseed oil or some other highly refined oil. These have little or no taste, but they have a high smoking point. For details on smoking points, see Deep-frying.
