Confused about cast iron seasoning oil - is a higher smoke point better?
Post Body

Canola oil smokes at 400f and avocado oil smokes at 500f - wouldn’t avocado oil be a better cast iron seasoning oil?

I’ve read that canola oil’s smoke point is just under 400f and I’ve heard you want to season a cast iron with canola oil above 400f in the oven. Wouldn’t the canola oil just smoke up your oven?

Why not use avocado oil with a smoke point of 520f instead? Wouldn’t this be better?
