Did you know certain oils are best for certain types of dishes? And we're not just talking flavor - heating an oil past its "smoke point" will also result in a nutritional breakdown. But thanks to this helpful article from Shine, we've got a handy table to help:
Cooking Heat | Oil | Best Use |
No-Heat | Flaxseed | Salads |
Low to Moderate | ||
Medium Heat | ||
High Heat |

Wow… that's a lot to process. I always knew there were differences in oils and their uses, but not to the extent of temperature. If there are 4 or 5 that can be used at different levels, what's the best choice? And what would be the best meal choice with each oil for taste and health?
Good question! I don't actually know the answer but I'll dig around and find it and post it when I do!
