Answer:Cannola. Not animal fat like lard. Answer:It depends on what you are frying; in particular, how hot your pan might get. If an oil overheats, it will start to smoke and develop a bad taste. If you are deep-frying, any vegetable oil or blend will do, but you should either have a thermostatically-controlled deep fryer or use a thermometer to make sure the temperature doesn't go over 375F (190C).

Olive oil lends a good flavor to many foods; it is often used when frying onions, but it does not withstand high heat (that's okay for onions, since they won't tolerate high heat, either). Peanut oil is better for browning meats or for stir-frying, as it has good flavor and handles higher temperatures. Canola, soybean and safflower oils all handle higher temperatures well, but have less desirable flavors. The flavor of the oil may not be an issue if you only need a small amount.

Animal fats, in general, have a low smoke point, so they aren't suitable for most frying. Clarified butter has a high smoke point and can be used in place of most vegetable oils, but is higher in saturated fat.

If you reuse your oil, bear in mind that it will have a lower smoke point after its first use.
