All cooking oils are not created equally, and no one knows this better than Bobby Flay. Smoking points and viscosity can vary, which is why Flay uses different oils for both their functionality and their flavor. He explained in an Instagram video, "I usually cook with canola oil, and then I finish dishes with extra-virgin olive oil." Canola oil, which is made from rapeseed, has a smoking point of somewhere between 400 and 475 degrees Fahrenheit, while EVOO hovers between 325 and 400 degrees Fahrenheit. This makes canola oil perfect if you want to get a nice sear on a piece of meat or are frying up some fish.
