Talk:Smoke point

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I know it's probably subjective, but it would be useful to add some notes about range is considered a 'low' smoke point (for the purposes of cooking) and what range is 'high'. Or, instead, adding in the chart the typical temperatures of various common types of cooking.

Smoke point isn't just a property of cooking oils. It's a physical property of any oil, including petroleum distillates. This article really should be expanded to include discussion of that as well. dil (talk) 20:52, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
