yall use avocado oil?

[WTM]

supposed to be high smoke point oil but it smokes more than anything for me.

 

[Lt.Dan]

It's all I use on my griddles. It doesn't start smoking until it hits over 450°

yeah thats what i thought but but undoubtedly the brand i bought smokes when just sauteing something. may need to tey another brand.

Yes, it's probably my favorite "vegetable" oil. Works great on my cast iron. I get the spray bottles of it at Costco, hit my pans with a light glaze when they preheat, then drop some butter in when it's hot.

I can't remember exactly the cost, but it's appx. $12 for a 2-pack. These last us at least a month, with near daily use

 

[ImThere]

Mostly all we use these days. Every once in awhile we use olive oil.

i use a lot of light evoo/butter for general sauteying but was looking for some higher smoke point oil for wok cooking to get away from nut and grape seed oil. the avocado oil i use is highly rated and refined so it doesnt make sense. i was browing hb meat for chili on medium heat and it still started smoking before i put meat in.

yeah coincidence that folks didnt start having heart attacks until crisco made from seed oil came about and quit using lard and butter.

Facts. Seed oils are killing us.

You would be surprised at the temps a skillet hits before you throw stuff in. A laser is about the only way you can tell or a induction burner

https://www.healthline.com/health/heart-disease/history lot of misconceptions about foods, It has always been a issue for a lot longer than most folks think, probably started when the first skillet was invented lol

 

[TAFKAP]

Maybe you're using too high a heat to smoke the oil? Do you preheat your pan on low before adding oil? Highest I go to brown meat is medium on my gas burners

yeah i have one. with wok cooking you vary the temps a lot during the cooking process.

it never happens with peanut oil or grapeseed oil. even just browning meat in a stainless pan it smokes before it even hits 350-400. kind of strange. it may just be this bottle of oil. im about out and will try another brand or try the spray tafkap uses.

Try Chosen Foods brand. That's what we use. I also use a lot of clarified butter when I have it.

Do you use ghee for your clarified butter?
