About High Heat Cooking Oil
For high-heat cooking like searing, roasting, and deep-frying, use oils with a smoke point above 400°F (204°C), with top choices being Avocado oil, Peanut oil, Canola oil, Sunflower oil, and refined oils like safflower or rice bran, as they resist breaking down and smoking, ensuring better flavor and safety. Refined versions of oils like avocado and sunflower typically offer higher heat stability than their unrefined counterparts, though extra virgin olive oil can work for medium-high heat.
