Avocado oil is absolutely fantastic for those days when you want an oil that is healthy and safe to cook at higher temperatures, or just want a bit of a milder flavor for a particular meal.
In fact, out of anything you cook with (including butter, lard, vegetable oil, extra virgin olive oil, or coconut oil)…Avocado oil has the highest smoke point of them all.
The smoke point is the temperature at which your cooking oil starts smoking in the pan…
This is when the oil breaks down and forms damaging, unhealthy compounds.
This makes AJK avocado oil perfect for:
- High-heat sauteing
- Grilling
- Frying
- Barbecuing
- Baking
- Drizzling onto salads
- And more…
Just like Kasandrinos is our go-to olive oil, our great friends at Ava Jane's Kitchen make the only Avocado oil we use and recommend.
If you're a nerd like me and want to understand the truth about 95% of cooking oils found in American homes (backed by cited scientific resources), they do an awesome job here breaking this down to help you understand what you're actually getting when you buy oil from the store, even the most well known health food stores!
