What fats are best to use when deep frying? Why?
Vegetable oils such as cottonseed, corn, and soybean are used often to deep-fry because they are 100% fat and have high smoke points (which means the oils can be heated at very high temperatures, allowing the food to cook quickly). A good frying fat's characteristics are that it has little flavor of its own and has a high smoke point.
