I like to experiment with different oils too. I found a chart of oil properties and life has been fun since then. Before I used just olive oil all the time.

"I also find Enova very intriguing (http://www.enovaoil.com/) -- I am very pro-technology and specialty items."

I'm going to this site right now. Thanks for the tip. "specialty" is my middle name.

"In terms of saturated fats I think cocoa butter (1/3 stearic acid, 1/3 monounsaturated fat) and non-hydrogenated lard (45% monounsaturated) are probably best "


I have cocoa butter but let someone convince me it was bad, even though the numbers say it is good. It's good to be reminded why I bought it and it is time to get it off my shelf!
