for Cooking
<p ><b>Cooking oil</b> is plant, animal or synthetic <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fat" title="Fat" >fat</a> used in frying, baking and other types of cooking. It's also used in food preparation and flavoring that doesn't involve heat, such as salad dressings and bread dips, and in this sense might be more accurately termed edible oil.
