What is the best oil for deep frying?

Answer 1

* There is quite a debate about this. Some people say that Coconut oil is the best but is is high in saturated fat, which some people claim is better. The thing about unsaturated fatty oils is that there are hydrogen bonds missing and during the cooking process it becomes unhealthy. But unsaturated fats are not as hard on your cholesterol and other health issues. I recommend either olive or peanut oil

Answer 2

There may be as many different answers to this question as there are chefs. Any oil used for deep frying needs to have a high smoke point, meaning that it will not smoke and scorch at the temperatures required for deep frying. Olive oil is generally not recommended because it has a low smoke point. Many chefs find that lard produces the best fried foods in terms of taste and crispness. Peanut oil or vegetable oil are often used. Vegetable shortenings have fallen out of favor because they are "trans fats," partially hydrogenated vegetable oils.
