Avocado Oil Highest Smoke Point

Refined avocado oil has the highest smoke point of any cooking oil at about 271°C (520°F). By comparison, common canola oil starts to smoke around 204°C (400°F). Because it stays stable at much higher temperatures, avocado oil is especially useful for deep frying and other high-heat cooking. Cooks can heat it longer before it breaks down or smokes.
