Out of my list, you will notice that many are saturated fats: solid at room temperature and very shelf stable with a tendency
for high smoke points.
Let's kick off this guide to cooking oils by taking a look at which oils work well
at high smoke points.
I didn't know there were oils
with high smoke points, I would always use mustard oil which it made the whole kitchen murky.
It has a
very high smoke point, which makes it ideal for frying and its unique flavor makes it great for salad dressings too.
In the smoke point values presented above at the beginning of this section, we suspect that the coconut oil and EVOO were less refined than the safflower oil and canola oil, such that the much
higher smoke points of the safflower oil and canola oil were not due to the plants from which these oils were obtained, but to the way that they were processed.
The oil's
high smoke point makes it ideal for higher - temperature roasting, and its sweetness compliments the dish's fresh orange and saffron.
But throughout the year, more and more folks are setting up 30 - 40 quart pots on concrete, filling kettles with
high smoke point oils, patting the turkeys dry, putting on long heavy - duty gloves and frying juicy turkeys.
The process of making ghee is to evaporate the water, filter impurities and milk fats, leaving a nutritionally rich
high smoke point ghee butter (meaning that it can be heated to a high temperature before it starts to smoke 251 C / 485 F) Adds a gourmet flare to many dishes.This organic ghee, made from organic butter, is a perfect paleo creamer for bulletproof coffee, cooking, sauteing, baking, and smoothies
The temperatures are very high — olive oil started to smoke a lot (I used pomace which has much
higher smoking point then vergin) and my pan twisted from the heat a bit!
Oil the grates with a rag and rub just
enough high smoke point - oil on the vegetables so that they don't stick — you're just moistening them at this point.
Extracted from rice husk, this oil's
naturally high smoke point of 232 °C (450 °F) makes it ideal for high temperature cooking like stir - fry
Grapeseed oil's smoke point is slightly higher if you want an oil with similar flavour, and some oils like sunflower and safflower (both of which I'm allergic to) have
super high smoke points so you don't have to worry about using them in baking.
As for unrefined oil, it's best used for salad dressings or low temperature cooking, and refined oil with it's
higher smoking point helps prevent rancidity in all of your cooked meals.
And to achieve such a high temperature, Dr. Crum recommended using avocado oil, with its extremely
high smoke point of 600 degrees F.

Virgin Palm Oil has a
very high smoke point at about 425 degrees F., making it an excellent oil for frying.

extremely high smoke point of 450 degrees F / 232 degrees Celsius, meaning that Virgin Red Palm Oil does not deteriorate when heated to normal cooking temperatures.
Hi Tiffany — avocado oil has a
fairly high smoke point and is very heat stable, so frying for 1 - 2 minutes is definitely okay.
Clarified butter is also great to have kicking around because, unlike regular butter, it has a
really high smoke point.
Macadamia nut oil has a
relatively high smoke point, so it is a perfect choice for sautéing and stir - frying that will impart a subtle, nutty flavor to your gastronomic creations.
A pure form of clarified butter, GHEE EASY has a
much higher smoke point of 250 °C, unlike butter which starts burning at 130 °C, and traditional cooking oils which turn black at 160 °C.
We do mostly Asian cooking so
the higher smoke point of coconut oil is easier to work with than olive oil.
I don't personally use rice bran oil but it has
a high smoke point so should be relatively healthy to cook with although I'm afraid I am not too familiar with it.
Hi Lorena, I love using coconut oil in my cooking as it has
a high smoke point.
I just got back into making my own ghee (golden, clarified butter that has

It may also be used for sautéed food as it has
a higher smoke point than regular butter.
Avocado oil also has
