    Wtf…the smoke point of various cooking oils based on temperate, as per Allstate…with the disclaimer that the smoking point may vary based on temperature.

    This is some insurance level 4d nonsense lol

      If you’re cooking fresh oil over low heat, these smoke points are probably accurate. If you are using a high heat, the oil may start to smoke before the thermometer reads those temps. That’s what it means by “based on… cooking temperature.”

      You’re right that the disclaimer is intended to absolve them of any responsibility, though.
