                                In an interview with *Bon Appétit*, celebrity chef Bobby Flay revealed that he cooks with canola oil “ninety-eight percent of the time”. His choice, which might surprise many who favor olive oil, is rooted in the oil's practical culinary properties, from its neutral flavor to its ability to withstand high temperatures.
