Literally just cooking everything in tallow has been a game changer.

Yes
Please explain further
Go on amazon & order a big tub of grass fed beef tallow & cook with that instead of using PAM & other veg oils.
And avoid all products that contain soybean oil, canola oil, cottonseed oil, corn syrup, etc.
Or go to the butcher and buy "leaf fat", then render the fat yourself, buy sats with the savings and send me some too.
For some reason lard works much better for cooking eggs on stainless steel. Duck fat is nice too
I like duck fat for eggs
I haven’t tried going strict no seed oils, but I never cook with them at home.
EV Olive Oil and Avacado Oil are still my go-to for most things, but otherwise I like:
Duck Fat > Butter > Lard > Ghee > Tallow
Chicken Fat is also nice, but I almost never have it
Olive Oil is one of the most faked/adulterated products fyi. People basically cut them with seed oils to cut cost and from what I’ve seen it’s imposible to tell if it has been cut with seed oils. Definitely worth buying the more expensive ones cause the cheapy ones in plastic containers are almost definitely mixed with seed oils.
Yeah I buy decent brands of Extra Virgin - not cheap, but not super premium if used for cooking.
Do you have any recommended brands that are widely available in the US?
I personally think it's better to just mostly avoid it. Heat tends to damage the fat (so does light) & good extra virgin olive oil has a really strong flavor that I'm not crazy about. I think both olive oil & avocado oil carry with them a pretty high oxydative load.
I generally feel best when I cook with tallow or lard.
See I LOVE the flavor of premium olive oils. I have been to olive orchards and tasted single varietal oils that are mind blowing 🤤
But… I hear you on the every day stuff. Might try using more animal fats for cooking
This explains why adding vanilla to flavor shit (even when it's supposedly real) seems to always be a problem for me.
