After trying to cook with Beef Tallow, I now understand why we’ve moved away from cooking with it. Tallow’s smoke point seems really low and I had to open all the windows to avoid setting off the smoke alarms. It also splattered out of the pan all over the kitchen.
Health theories aside, I understand the move to seed oils much more. Not only are they cheaper, they’re just better to cook with.

Ghee might be worth looking into. It has a higher flash/smoke point than butter.
I use olive oil.
Works fine, tastes good, and if I can believe stuff out there not unhealthy to cook with.
Ill take extra clean up over declining health any day... the smoke point is a learning curve but once you get the hang of it. *chefs kiss*
