Here is the ultimate cooking oil guide so you'll know which one to choose. 

1. Olive Oil
This is my personal favorite because of the flavor and the overall nutritional aspects. 

That being said, it's got a lower smoke point than some of the others, so it's not good for high-heat cooking. 

2. Avocado Oil
This is what you reach for if you're cooking at high heat, but don't want to use something like a vegetable or a peanut oil 

It's not a mild flavor and is good for pretty much any type of cooking. 

3. Canola Oil
This is a staple for frying because of its high smoke point. 

From a flavor perspective, it's not my favorite. It's also considered a less healthy option than some of the others on this list. 

4. Coconut Oil
This is a nice option for medium-heat cooking when you want to add a little bit of a tropical flavor to your dish. 

A lot of curries are known for having a coconut oil or coconut milk base. 

5. Beef Tallow
If you're looking to add a depth of richness to your dish, this is a great option, especially because of its high smoke point. 

I love it, but beef tallow was dragged through the mud in the 80s for being "unhealthy". Apparently, public opinion has recently changed. 

6. Margarine
Technically, this is meant to be an alternative to butter, but it's mostly vegetable oil in stick form. It does have a higher smoke point than butter, though.

Great for baking or making things like frosting. 


I know there are a lot of oils out there, and knowing which is the right one to pick can get complicated. 

Save this guide for later so you can reference it whenever you need to.
