Reddit take

Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • I personally use a spray oil (like my new love, avocado oil) or brush on a thin layer.
  • I normally use avocado oil which I find pretty neutral already
  • I personally find my hair loves avocado oil
  • Get avocado oil to reseason them, it has a high burn point.
  • I seasoned this pan using avocado oil and “cooked” it out on my grill upside down .

Cons

  • Might be a case of too much oil (I’ve had avocado oil be hit and miss for whatever reason as well)
  • Avocado oil is poor for seasoning. It has a great smoke point but low level of polymerization.
  • avocado oil IMHO isn't especially flavorful to begin with so I'd probably just use it the same way I'd use either of the constituents.
  • That avocado oil is probably only good for seasoning pans. I wouldn't cook with it. In independent testing, only two brands of avocado oil turned out to be both 100% avocado oil _and_ not rancid in the bottle.
  • i exclusively use avocado oil.

I’ll do a very thin layer of avocado oil during the preheat before I have bread in it and by the time I am ready to bake most of the smoke has dissipated.

Parent context: It’s best to heat the pan up dry(until water drops dance) and then add oil. Also I would recommend avocado oil because it’s smoke point is higher than grape seed oil (525 if I recall correctly) Reply: Just an FYI, a UC Davis study found that at least 82% of avocado oil samples were either rancid or mixed with other, cheaper oils like soybean or canola. Some samples labeled as "pure" or "extra virgin" contained close to 100% soybean oil.

Thank you! I usually use avocado oil and I am guilty of possibly seasoning to hot now and then since that you mention this...
