Not all oils are created equal for this job. You want something with a high smoke point—like peanut oil, canola oil, or sunflower oil. They handle the heat without breaking a sweat.
Olive oil? Nah. Extra virgin olive oil smokes at around 190°C, so you’re flirting with disaster. Use it for salads, not for a fry-up.
Coconut oil and avocado oil are great too, but they can be pricey. Save those for when you’re feeling fancy or making a statement.
