The best oil to use is extra virgin olive oil.

Not to be a Delbert Downer here Jack, but EVOO, is not at all a good cooking oil, or even close..

Not to get technical, unless you need me to, the burn/smoke, temperature of Extra Virgin Olive Oil, although much healthier, is very low, thus evaporation and scorch is highly prevalent..

Pomace Olive Oil, is much higher, but still lower than Extra light olive oil, and not the best yet..

Fat based oils (Lard) are far better for frying, but generally unhealthy, than many others available in grocers..

Which is why God made peanut oil. Makes the best hand-cut homemade French fries!
