Have you ever seen oil that starts to smoke while frying, sautéing and grilling?

That's your oil saying it has reached its smoke point – the temperature at which it starts to decompose and loses both flavour and nutritional value.

Selecting the right oil for the right heat is more than just better cooking — it is better for your health.

At Vibhor, we believe that your meals should strike the perfect balance between taste, wellness, and safety. Understanding smoke points and selecting the right oils is crucial, primarily because smoke points can significantly impact cooking. Let’s break it down.

What is smoke point, and why does it matter?

The smoke point is the temperature at which oil will begin to emit smoke and degrade. As it passes this point, oils will lose their nutritional quality, and they will start to create damaging substances.

Cooking with the wrong oil at a high temperature makes it unhealthy for consumption and destroys the flavour, too.

Every oil you find will have a smoke point, which indicates that each oil is suited to a different cooking method — from shallow frying, to deep frying, to stir frying.
