What kind of oil (vegtable or corn oil )

There has been a quiet resurgence in frying with lard. It remains highly saturated, however, and prepared foods might taste a bit like bacon. It can even pop corn in a professional kettle, but may leave tiny specks of scorched pork on the popcorn. There is a way to deodorize lard. It may be by boiling in a kettle of water, to which a little white vinegar has been added. Chill and scoop the resolidified fat off the top. Reheat on low heat to evaporate excess moisture; pour into molds. Keep refrigerated.

The page says as a general rule, choose oils with a high smoke point and avoid flavored oils, peanut oil adds a nutty flavor to food olive oil has a low smoke point lard and walnut oil not sure. To me looks like a recommendation a foolish one but that's all they are stating honestly think vegitabkd oil is way to over powering and makes fried foods taste bad

Yes.

If feeding others, beware of peanut allergies.

The attraction of peanut oil is it's higher smoke point, but canola or olive oil both contain far less saturated fat with canola holding a clear advantage.
Also canola is is probably the most 'tasteless' oil of them all. For some that might be an advantage,but others prefer particular oils for their taste.
Price point may be the final decider for you.

While peanut oil seems to be the clear favorite for turkey fryers, there's no law that says it must be used.

Remember that vegetable oils go rancid quickly; they're meant for eating and not industrial lubrication on a regular basis. The use vegetable oil trick is actually intended for people who use their shredders OFTEN, not OCCASIONALLY. I have a giant bottle of canola oil at the office for the big shredder, I use the branded oil at home. The amount of shredding most offices do is enough to warrant using vegetable oil since more than likely by the end of of a typical maintenance cycle, the oil is long gone from the blades and feeding mechanism.

Do not use olive oil, corn oil, cottonseed, peanut, palm, or ANY vegetable oil with an odor. Unless you want your shredder smelling like food, stay away from any vegetable oil with a distinct odor. Canola oil is the best substitute for branded oil. Also look for lower grade canola cooking oil, the ones you often find in thrift stores or 99 cent stores. It should look more "watery" than viscous.

We just bought a replacement Cuisinart popcorn maker after our 7 year old one died. Was surprised to see the note about not using olive oil in the manual since that's what we have always used. Apparently the concern is that olive smokes at a lower temp than other oils but it's always worked fine for us in the same model cuisinart. We like the richer flavor and health benefits -- we don't need to add butter when we use olive oil.

vegatable oil
1 tbsp veggie oil for 1/3c. corn
2 tbsp oil for 2/3c corn
3 tbsp oil for 1 cup corn

If you are using the Cuisinart pop corn poppper, don't use olive oil. Use vegetable oil. Two teaspoons is enough with 1/3 cup of premium kernels. That is it. Turn on the machine and wait til it stops popping. I LOVE my new pop corn popper. I will not do the hot air one again. I always had kernels flying all over my kitchen and popped popcorn everywhere, The Cuisinart popper is the best....

Peanut oil,but expensive.Second would be a high grade vegtable oil.

Cuisinart makes fresh, crunchy, homemade popcorn fast, easy¿.and healthy! The Cuisinart Popcorn Maker pops up to 10 cups of popcorn in under 5 minutes, and lets popcorn lovers decide just how much, and what kind, of popcorn, oil and flavoring to use. Popcorn pops right into a clear plastic bowl that flips to serve, and both bowl and poping plate go into the dishwasher.
