Oils made from unsaturated fat should not be used for cooing , because high heat damages their chemical structure and can cause them to become toxic.
It is better to use saturated fat as it has a much stronger chemical structure .
Read the labels on your oil containers , I don`t cook with a lot of oil anymore ( mainly a couple of tbs to saute onions ) when I do I use rice bran oil which has a high content in mono saturated and polyunsaturated trans fat ,it also has a high smoke point ( 250 deg C)
My other choice of saturated fat is ghee which can be heated to a really high cooking temperature without burning or smoking .
Saturated fats are solid at room temperature .
