help!!! seek alt oil types.
who here.....and i ask only because in my experience some of the best cooks and restaurant operators are here...
can advise of a good substitute for peanut oil for high temp frying - like for beef fondue cooked in oil?
vegetable oil too bland.
peanut oil way too expensive.
lard - well i just don't want to cook prime filet in that.
sesame oil too much flavor.
mobil 1 ... wrong synthetic...
what say you??

Canola Oil is becoming pretty common. Very lite for cooking. I don't know how much heat it will tolerate.
It used to be called Rapeseed Oil. When Canada decided to be a big exporter of the stuff, they gave it a more pleasant name.

Dennis is right. I use canola for fondue and a good beef cut like filet mignon. With some Beaver horseradish on the side!
Yeah baby!

Lemme add some more here.......Sesame oil, the untoasted type, might work well. You're right. The toasted type is strong, but I really like it.
Sunflower oil?
Safflower Oil?
There's lots to experiment with.

Got this off of Kate's list:
Avocado oil 520°F 271°C
Just saw this stuff at Costco Ensenada, but I think it was a little pricey.
I had a friend who used to buy Peanut Oil in five gallon cans. I'd imagine that's the economical way to go.

Avocado oil is pricey because it's not 1970. Back in the day, avocados were regularly like 10 cents apiece. Now, often they are like a buck apiece.
Blame the Super Bowl!

Canola Oil with a shot Sesame Oil for some flavor and nice aroma should work nicely. I'd like to hear from Jesse see a chiefs' opinion. I like to put
garlic in too and replace it as they brown.
Edit: I googled fondue oil and got this. Maybe some ideas. What time should we show up?

Here in San Diego there is a restaurant by the name of "Forever Fondue" and they give you a choice of oil or chicken broth for the beef, chicken, fish
and vegetables.
Dessert was various fruit and cake samples dipped in warm chocolate.

Whatever you use Fondue is all about the sauce you dip it in, otherwise it's just boiled meat...

Use a heavy cast iron fondue pot for oil or cheese fondue (don't use skimpy thin metal version of fondue pots found in gringolandia). A typical
fondue pot holds less than 1/2 liter oil, so don't worry about cost of oil (high quality meat will set you back more than the oil)
If beef fondue, your flavor comes from good meat and side dipping sauces -- not the oil. Use veggie or canola oil (not peanut or sesame). Side
dishes are french bread and salad and/or fruit. I suppose you could do other meats, but fish meat is probably too flaky and likely to fall off and
stay in pot of oil
I like cubing potatoes and vegetable for dipping in oil fondue pot similar to cooking beef in fondue pot.
