Noticing no mention of Avocado oil, which seems to be all the rage as a cooking oil that isn't a seed oil that is also not saturated. Any data on problems with this? I definitely use coconut oil a bit as well, and have started collecting tallow from the beef hearts I cook in my slow cooker (crazy how cheap these sell for...), but with my blood pressure and LDL where they are I do usually look for a bit lower saturated fat intake if only to raise my HDL:LDL ratio. All ears if I've got it all backward here -- nutrition is definitely not my strongest suit.
Love seeing the Vitamix with the stainless steel container in the back! I still use nonstick occasionally, especially in appliances that came with proprietary non-stick pans (Zojirushi rice cookers, best in the market but unfortunately non-stick), but I've been switching to using stainless steel and cast iron pans. I prefer parchment paper, only occasionally use foil primarily as a cover or something. Peanut oil I use along with avocado/coconut/olive oils and animal fats. I'm also good with palm oil, another fruit oil. Fully agree with the cutting boards. Wood is king!
