Maybe this'll be the successor to the Cheeseburger 9000?

Did you read that right I saw this about 4 years ago and they used lamp oil because of its thermal and dielectric propertys... any form of cooking oil would go bad and would gum up the works... Not going to repost but am fairly certain that cooking oil is a bad idea.

Clicking on link for I two was going to build one of these awhile back as my gaming/object de art machine

Cooking oil goes rancid after some time if you cook fries in it, but by itself I would think it has a fairly long shelf life. How hot would it get in the roll of coolant?
