What type of cooking fat can I use on Carbon Nonstick?Updated 14 days ago

We highly recommend high-smoke-point oils (algae, canola, grapeseed, avocado), especially early on to build up seasoning. EVOO and butter also work, but be sure to adjust the heat as needed to prevent smoking. We generally do not recommend spray oils because they contain lecithin, which bonds to the surface of the pan and makes it less nonstick.

Tip: Contrary to popular belief, olive oil can be used at high heat if it’s high-enough quality. A lot of lower quality olive oils are refined, processed, or mixed with poor quality oil. Look for oils that aren't in clear or plastic bottles. High-smoke point oil typically comes with harvest dates and expiration dates on the labels.
