I've been using Happy Belly Soybean Oil for months now, and it's completely changed my cooking game. That giant 128oz bottle lasts forever, and I love that I don't have to constantly restock like with smaller bottles.
The first thing I noticed was how light and clean it tastes. When I fried chicken wings last weekend, they came out crispy golden without any weird aftertaste - just pure chicken flavor shining through. My picky nephew actually asked for seconds!
What really surprised me was discovering it works just as well for baking as frying. Last Thursday morning when we ran out of butter mid-pancake batter, I subbed in this oil instead. Fluffiest pancakes ever! The neutral flavor didn't overpower the maple syrup at all.
The high smoke point is legit too. Unlike when I've used olive oil and set off the smoke alarm (oops), this handles my stir-fries on high heat like a champ. No more waving towels at the detector while dinner burns!
Pro tip: Keep one by your deep fryer and another near the baking supplies. At this price point, doubling up is totally worth it for the convenience alone.
