Units aside. Much better overview without those ridiculously large icons that dominate the image and give no information whatsoever.

Shout out to algae cooking oil, weighing in at 535 F (280 C) https://algaecookingclub.com/products/algae-cooking-oil
I use it when cooking high heat, and also a few drops to season my cast iron

Wtf…the smoke point of various cooking oils based on temperate, as per Allstate…with the disclaimer that the smoking point may vary based on temperature.
This is some insurance level 4d nonsense lol
The format is a weird ad trend that was going around years ago. It not even necessarily put out by allstate.
Its akin to all those viral videos nowadays that have a random gambling website attached

Thanks for the info. If I ever see it cheaper at the store maybe I’ll try it out. Sounds promising but the price sounds a bit steep.

Butter is great for general cooking but not frying. What is burning is the milk solids still left in the butter. Browning butter (basically lightly frying the milk solids) is a process that can be used to impart at different flavor to the butter.
If you want to fry with that buttery flavor but don’t want to burn it, you need to clarify it first: boil out the remaining water content, skim the milk solids off the top, then pour the clear fat off the other milk solids that settle out. Or you can just use ghee, which is basically preclarified butter.
Fun fact: it’s the milk solids that go off first in butter (and the water content allows microbial growth). “Potting” is a preservation technique like “canning”, except instead of sealing something with a metal lid, you pour clarified butter over the food. It fills in gaps between solid pieces and forms a cap on top as it cools.
I feel like I gained eldritch knowledge. I’m buying ghee and going back to frying everything in it.

Great. What’s that in normal units?
Edit:
Wait, rapeseed refers to canola? Who the FUCK thought to name that rape seed?
Also sesame oil is supposed to be a finishing oil

The term “rape” derives from the Latin word for turnip, rāpa or rāpum, cognate with the Greek word ῥάφη, rhaphe.

I’ve started throwing my cast iron into the barbecue while I heat it up before grilling (I heat to 500 for 15-20 mins or so then clean the bbq, then grill, which is perfect for a quick season with most oils)
It’s a great time saver for seasoning it.
I can now reliably do omelettes in the cast iron without any sticking, it actually works better than my non stick

Seems canola is a modified rapeseed plant.

Edit:
Rice Bran oil is my fave with a smoke point of 232 °C (450 °F) and it holds up a long time. I also use it for deep frying. Its not well known in the west and its really great.

Is Rapeseed and canola not the same thing? I’m not familiar with rapeseed oil as an American.

I had never heard of canola before. But I learned today that this is a Canadian brand name of rapeseed oil.
