If you really like a specific low smoke point oil, like Coconut, you may be able to get away with mixing it in with one with a higher heat tolerance.

Compared with Olive Oil, Canola oil has a much higher smoke point at 232C versus only 166C with Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Canola Oil has no flavour and therefore it does not change the flavour of the foods you are cooking! On top of this Canola Oil has the least amount of Saturated fat compared with all other major vegetable oils and that is why it is known as the healthiest oil!

It has the highest smoke point of all extra virgin plant oils - 255°C!!! It enhances the flavour of food instead of overpowering it like good olive oil does. It is used in the same way you would use other oils and it's fantastic in salad dressings too. I also use it in mashed potato instead of butter. Something else I've discovered lately, it has more than 4 times more lutein than olive oil. Lutein helps protect the eyes from macular degeneration and blindness. It is high in monosaturated fat (the good stuff), low in saturated fat, cholesterol free and studies have shown that avocado oil increases nutrient absorption from salads by 40%. The best value avocado oil I've found is made by Olivado. Check their website www.olivado.com I use extra virgin avocado oil all the time now.
