Home Cook's Frustration: Is Stovetop or Avocado Oil the Culprit? A Reddit user has raised an eyebrow over the performance of their Samsung stove, particularly when using Chosen Foods Avocado Oil in stainless steel pans. The user, who recently started cooking with stainless steel, has encountered issues with the oil's smoke point, suspecting it may be due to the oil's "naturally refined" label rather than actual refinement. The problem has been exacerbated by the user's reliance on laser temperature devices, which are known to be inaccurate on reflective surfaces like stainless steel. As the user struggles to achieve the right temperature for cooking, they're left wondering if their stovetop is indeed broken or if there's a more nuanced explanation at play.
Is my stovetop broken or is it because Chosen Foods Avocado Oil is "naturally refined" instead of actually refined? It seems to be a highly recommended oil. I am new to using stainless steel pans, but I would think having my pans set to 2 on the side that only used one burner instead of two, would be low enough. I know now the laser temp devices are inaccurate with stainless steel because its reflective, I don't know how else I could actually measure the temps. I would think being at 2 though, something must not be working as who the heck would use even 6 or 8 or 10? Its a newer samsung stove, it doesn't list the model # anywhere obvious. I think the units where I lived were remodeled within the past 2-4 years. submitted by /u/Blakefox [link] [comments]
