Why sunflower oil is a good everyday choice
Sunflower oil has a light, clean taste that does not overpower food. This makes it suitable for frying, sautéing and baking, and it is a favourite for dishes where the flavour of the food should come through.
Chamamba Premium Sunflower Oil is 100% pure and refined, sold in a 1 litre bottle, and is made for everyday cooking.
Matching the oil to the dish
For deep frying such as mandazi, bhajia and samosa, use plenty of oil and keep the temperature steady. A refined oil handles this well.
For stews, rice and vegetables, a spoonful of oil at the start gives a smooth base for onions and spices.
Getting the best from your oil
Keep the bottle tightly closed and away from direct sunlight and heat, so it stays fresh for longer.
Do not reuse oil many times. If it smells strong, looks dark or foams when heated, it is time to replace it.
