A chart listing cooking oils, their smoke point, type, and flavor neutrality.

Some cooking oils are better suited to be used in salad dressings because of flavor or because they break down at high temperatures. Other cooking oils can withstand high heat by having a high-temperature smoke point.

Another consideration is flavor. Is the oil neutral in flavor? Or will it add flavor that you may or may not want?

      Hi Danny, Thank you for your question.

      I'm not sure what you mean by "perfect o.e cooking temperature. If you mean an optimum temperature for cooking foods, that would depend on the food you are cooking. Many foods from chicken to vegetable tempura to doughnuts are deep-fried at 350°F/177°C. There are numerous official sources from the USDA and from universities that can provide this information and I recommend researching the exact food you wish to cook.

      Have a wonderful day... ~Jan
