Oil? Oil of pork (pastry lard) cooks hot without smoking, is cheap,
and stores well in the fridge after filtering. I get dozens uses out of
mine before it needs replacing. I filter it through paper towel and
store it in a big mason jar. I nuke it for 2 minutes to pour it out of
the jar when I need it.
