Which Oils Are Best for Browning & Spritzing?

This movie requires Flash Player 9.0.28

Welcome to another ChefMD® video blog! This week, we’re looking at oil. No, not the $120+ per barrel stuff, but the oil you can cook with, use on salads, or simply quaff some evening. Okay, forget that last one.

There’s a difference between the best oils for cooking versus the best oils for eating. The best cooking and browning oils have high smoke points; the better oils for eating are “small producer” oils including walnut oil and certain others. Click on the blog for details!
