What is the Best Oils for Cooking
- Vegetable Oils; vegetable oils are our go-to oil when it comes to griddle cooking. A high smoke point and a relatively neutral flavor, make it perfect for high temp cooking. Smoke Point 400 - 450°F.
- Avocado Oil; with a ridiculously high smoke point, avocado oil is perfect for cooking meats on a griddle pan at super-high temperatures. Smoke Point 520°F.
- Sunflower Seed Oil; a great choice for high-temperature cooking on a cast iron griddle pan, and widely available in shops and supermarkets. It has a super high smoke point and doesn't break down easily. Smoke Point 440°F.
- Canola Oil; one of the best oils for griddle cooking is canola oil. It has a high smoke point but doesn't leave much of a mark on the taste of the food either. Smoke Point 400°F.
- Sesame Oil; with a mid-range smoke point, sesame oil can be great for slow cooking on griddles. At higher temperatures, it breaks down, leaving a sesame seed taste, which some chefs love and some chefs hate. Smoke Point 350°F.
- Olive Oil; a great oil for cooking at a lower smoke point, gives your food a great taste too. Readily available in all supermarkets. You probably have olive oil in your cupboard already! Smoke Point 325°F
- Flaxseed Oil; has a lower smoke point, but doesn't break down easily. Great oil for seasoning your pan and creating a solid layer to protect it against burnt food and rust. Smoke Point 225°F.
