The smoke point is the temperature at which an oil begins to break down. Oil that is heated to its smoke point or higher will begin smoking and start to impart a bitter taste to the food. Furthermore, because the oil is breaking down at the molecular level, it can produce carcinogens.Sabinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15289114941414019127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1998998681683533978.post-89701989793557767362008-08-20T19:54:00.000-07:002008-08-20T19:54:00.000-07:00My Dr. was just telling me about this today!
