hi.

you will not find rape seed oil or canola oil in the trnc. for what you need your oil butter- soybean oil (not a very nice oil if not "eco-oil") ?

if you want frying oil, use peanut oil (i have seen it in the south) or cocunut oil.(also nearly na in the trnc) or olive oil.

the best frying oils are oils with many saturated fatty acids with(out or) maybe one monounsaturated fatty acid.

oils with polyunsaturated fatty acids are not good for frying (often too exoensive as well).

make sure that your oil never reaches temps above 190 degree celsius. get a infrared thermometer. this avoids forming of trans fats somehow good.
