You can also try using grape seed oil instead of vegetable oil or olive oil when cooking. It have a very high flashpoint and I can cook steaks and not have a fogbank in the house. I haven't tried mixing spices with it, and brushing it on a roast, but that would work too.
Not for that reason, but my wife picked up some grape seed oil last week as she had never seen it before and wanted to try it. Thanks for the additional insights.
