Smoke point is the temperature at which an oil starts to break down, releasing smoke, bitter flavours, and unwanted compounds. Matching an oil's smoke point to the cooking method protects dish flavour, oil health, and kitchen cost.

For deep frying and high-heat searing: 100% pure sunflower oil is a practical, economical choice with a relatively high smoke point and good stability, and olive pomace oil is a neutral-tasting alternative for high-volume frying. 100% pure ghee also handles high heat thanks to removed milk solids, adding a traditional flavour to sweets and Eastern dishes.

For medium cooking and sauteing: virgin olive oil works well. Extra virgin is best used cold — for salads, dipping, and finishing — to preserve its flavour and antioxidants, though it can handle moderate cooking too.

Toasted sesame oil is not a frying oil but a flavour added after cooking. Use it in small amounts as a finishing note.

Ops rules: don't overheat oil, filter fryers regularly, run FIFO, and change oil when colour, smell, or foaming shifts. Log usage per oil type to control cost.
