Best Deep Frying Oil It is healthier to use all vegetable liquid oil and or olive oils, they will keep longer in the refrigerator or better yet in the Freezer if not used often.
Please recycle all used oil or any cooking fat drained from cooking meat by taking it to a restaurant and dumping it in their grease collection vats outside their building, do ask first but most are very happy to let you dump the used oil as they get paid for it.

America's Test Kitchen, Joy of Cooking....and my experience says Peanut oil is best for frying. High price, but highest smoke point (safety factor). Toasted sesame oil needs to be refrigerated after opening. Lawrence/Maytagbear | ||

Maybear beat me to it. When I saw the thread title again, I was going to say canola oil, and then I remembered that peanut oil is considered best for deep frying.
I don't fry much stuff any more (low carb diet), though. I do have a big box of lard that I'd like to try in the fryer, though. If it doesn't gum up the works. My own opinion is that natural saturated fats have gotten a somewhat undeserved bad rap. It's really artificially unsaturated fats (trans fats) that are the real health problem. Humans evolved consuming animal fats. Eskimos have a very high naturally saturated fat diet (whale blubber) and good cardio health - until they are introduced to western refined foods, that is. Arterial plaque deposits have been found to contain trans fats. Bad stuff. | ||

Peanut Oil
We don't do much deep fat frying but when we do we use Peanut Oil. About the only thing we fry this way any more is fried Okra (barf!! Joe likes it) so I buy the frozen ones and every now and then I'll fry a small batch of them. We have one of those little fry daddy's that we use. I haven't used the big fryer in years. | ||

Cooking With Animal Fat There is probably nothing wrong with eating animal fat, as long as you are active, not over weight, and don't plan to live to be older than 35-45 years of age like humans did centuries ago.
But the real issue today is it causes too much environmental damage to raise mammals for food, it is simply smarter to use plants for most of are food sources.
