Besides olive oil what other oils do you like to cook with? What are the best and worst ones? Any suggestions would be great.

Canola oil is good
I use sunflower oil... I think its slightly better that some others but I really don't know..
i pretty much just use olive oil, or occasionally sunflower oil because olive oil gets expensive and im a student!

Canola oil is really good and is cheap where I live. It really works great in cakes and baked goods. I would use olive oil for cooking though. I've tried safflower which works well too.
Ok first the cool chart Link here, thanks Whole Foods Market!

My what I use, Canola for frying and baking, Olive for roasting, marinades and vinaigrettes and Sesame for flavor and searing (I LOVE chicken breasts seared with sesame oil, OMG!)
i use PAM
I switch between olive oil, sesame oil, and canola oil.
I never use any kind of oil at all ... though I guess I should because some of it is so good for you ... but I just CAN'T bring myself to do it ...
Coconut oil is very good to cook with. It comes either liquid or in a solid form. It works very well with really high heat and it is healthy. It might sound gross but it is really good, I never use olive oil to cook anymore. Here are some good links.
