Smart Balance came out with an oil that is very nice.

That is what I used on vacation this year.

Since I don't use oils often for cooking, this one comes in a smaller bottle which is handier for our traveling upNorth needs.

The basic thing to remember... smoking point is when the oil starts to smoke. That means it is breaking down, and you should NOT inhale it, or use it past that cooking time or high temp. Soy is handy because its smoking point is much higher than Canola. But for stir frying or doing eggs, Canola lower smoking point oils are okay because heat and time are reduced.

For serious frying, people should choose oils, with a high smoking point.

At home I have switched to Ghee for my few needs for cooking oil, since I can no longer find the Caratino anymore around here.
