The people arguing with his article and kibbitzing about which oil to use who clearly didn’t even read the entire article just crack me up. This lady did a lot of work identifying the best oil to use and figuring out the science behind it, whatever you think of some particular phrase you didn’t like in the beginning of the article.
Yes, other oils can be used as she pointed out, but they give a softer, less long-lasting finish. Your granny was a wonderful woman and her biscuits beat all — but lard or bacon grease are not the best oils to use. That’s science. Not emotional reasoning.
