[COOKING] What do you use as far as Oil/Fat/Butter?

Stop the Reggs hate.
His ladle is best content on this forum for awhile!

(also I use coconut oil, avocado oil and butter most of the time. Ghee if I have it).
 
I looked at bottled of avocado oil at the grocery yesterday. They do not have the harvest date and source printed on the bottles like olive oil does.

Based on this it's best to get an oil from a single source. This left one made with avocados from Africa Vs USA, so the choice was obvious.

Can anyone imagine being in a real life conversation with reggs? I mean if he talked like this in a group how is he not open hand slapped immediately?

You can fry meat in butter

The smoke point of butter is below the temp to fry meat. The smoke point is also below what it needs to use butter on a grill for anything other than finishing.

This is the whole point of ghee. Ghee only removes what keeps the smoke point low. Butter has milk solids that smokes just above 300F.

I've been reading that exact thing (I'm still learning). I only use olive and avocado for cooking, and extra virgin olive oil for garnish and dressing. Whatever you're using, single source is best, but it's very expensive.

What does ghee taste like?

It tastes like butter but doesn't stick the pallet as long, not as velvety. So it would be suited for cooking steak/chicken breast/eggs/popcorn ect, but not for an alfredo sauce. Really taste is not the big difference. If you were to melt butter then just skim off the milk solids, that's what ghee is.
