Try coconut oil. I haven't yet, but I do have a jar of it. If you
have a Trader Joe's nearby, they sell it at a reasonable price. They
also have ghee in a jar. I was just reading that sunflower oil is
high in omega 6, which isn't a good thing - so although I like the way
it cooks, I'm cooling off on that one.
