Olive oil burns too easily. I usually use peanut or safflower oil. Where do they fit in on this radar?
Edit: Lard and Butter also work quite well.
Edit: Geese might disagree but they're mean.
My understanding is that peanut oil is very pro inflammatory and a bad idea to use at high heat. Butter, animal fats and coconut oil are my go to oils. But I don't deep fry.
