Do you keep a jar of bacon fat on your counter?

I do. Most cooking starts with that.

No, i just use bit of olive oil sometimes.

@SW-User olive oil is not meant to be heated as it has a low smoking point.

SW-User

@SW-User Yeah i don't think any fats are particularly good for you when they're heated but they taste nice though.

@SW-User animal fats are more stable as is avocado oil

@SW-User I probably should change, but i rarely use oil for anything, maybe just a teaspoon in some stir fried vegetables. Avocado oil is nice though. Animal fats though contain more carcinogens so i just avoid those.
