1. Coconut oil--frying fish, braising meat, eggs
2. Raw Butter- chili, veg, soups
3. Ghee--curry, eggs, steaks
4. Olive oil--salad dressing
5. Pastured Bacon grease ---all of the above
6. Grass-fed tallow- fried tubers and root veg.

Coconut Oil, tallow and ghee(clarified butter) are all great choices. I like to saute veggies in coconut oil and eggs fried in ghee are fantastic.

i use coconut oil for high heat stuff, pastured pork lard or bacon fat for special occasions, and ghee for when i want a rich butter flavor. i dont typically use EVOO for cooking. they are great mixed, too- EVOO and ghee for a quick sautee, coconut oil and ghee are yummy together, too.

Naturally raised, pastured animal fat is best for all types of cooking. Grass-fed tallow, lard, butter (clarified or otherwise), etc. Extra virgin, cold pressed, unrefined, coconut oil and palm oil are okay in a pinch although there are issues with all vegetable oils. I find it easier to avoid them.

The only plant oil I use for cooking is coconut, which I use relatively often.

Animal fats I use include bacon fat (I use a lot of that because I collect it), butter, ghee, tallow (rarely), and I intend to try using non-bacon lard.

I mainly use lard, but add to it coconut oil or butter depending on what I'm cooking. I also store my bacon fat and will add that for flavour. I have olive oil for salad dressings, but do not use it heated.

I throw a tablespoon or two of grassfed beef fat or grassfed lamb fat in a pan and heat it gently over a low flame. It renders in a few minutes -- in other words, oil melts out of it -- and that's what I use. I do this for exactly the reasons you describe. I think animal fat is healthier than vegetable fat.

Coconut oil is your safest bet for all types of cooking. Olive oil, which people often use for stir frying, sautéing and the like isn't the best idea. Olive oil isn't meant to be heated to high temperatures, and converts to carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons when it is. Coconut oil, on the other hand, can sustain high heats, is nutritious, and completely safe. Olive oil is great if you only heat it for a minute or so, or use it raw.

Coconut oil, ghee, and grassfed tallow. Coco oil is the only veggie oil suitable for heat, imo. I also don't cook with bacon grease or schmaltz because of the O-6.

coconut oil, butter, bacon fat

Coconut oil is the best! Plus you can use it as a moisturizer or as it says on the jar a, "luxurious body oil." I recommend getting the good quality organic stuff I use a brand by the name of Artisana.

Water, Rapsodyoil, butter,

often i just use water, and add later oil.

Pork fat, beef fat, duck fat, butter, coconut oil less often (I find it harder on the gut!). Chicken fat occasionally. Olive oil as a dressing.
