I put a pea sized dab of bacon fat in the pan for frying eggs and I've used coconut oil a few times for frying this or that. Other than that, I rarely put fat in a pan on the stove. I stopped a couple of weeks ago at an African grocery that used to carry ghee but they didn't have it any mor so that's out.

Olive oil doesn't hold up all that well to that kind of heat. None of the oils do. I don't use the PUFA veggie oils at all for anything. I typically use olive oil at room temperature. If I want it in a cooked dish, I add it after it's cooked.

I have avocado oil in the house but I haven't used it lately. The olive has more flavor. I haven't been impressed with any of the nut oils. Olive oil is great, but frying with it is iffy, methinks.
