<< Hey Tom....man after my own heart! Because I do so much Asian cooking, I use a lot of pure peanut oil, usually the stuff directly from China, as we have a lot of Chinese here in British Columbia, and the only other oil I use is extra virgin olive oil >> Doug, I like you cook much Asian Cusinines. I have recently fallen in love with a high smoking-point oil that doesn't color the foods' taste----grapeseed oil! It used by many chefs and I now know why! I have tried French, Italian, and California Grape seed oil. I'd go for the one that hits the wallet the least as they all were excellent. Mary-Anne
