3. Avocado oil. Avocado oil, which is made from pressed avocados, is another excellent oil choice. It has a rich, nutty flavor that complements sautéed and pan-fried foods, and its high smoke point of approximately 500°F (260°C) lets it create extra-crispy fried foods without burning them (4).
4. Butter. Butter is a solid fat made from dairy cream. While it’s not technically an oil, it’s used in cooking the same way that many oils are. Butter adds a rich flavor to dishes, but it also browns very quickly — and therefore can burn rapidly.
5. Ghee. Ghee is made by heating butter and removing the milk proteins that accumulate during the heating process. The result is a flavorful clarified butter that solidifies at room temperature.
