Olive oil

Olive oil is in 15 recipes and almost never for frying the patty. Its smoke point is well below the temperature a good sear needs, and heated past it the flavour turns bitter and acrid. Where it belongs here is everything cooked gently or not at all: dressings, sauces, slow-cooked onions and peppers, and brushing vegetables before grilling. Recipes on this site that call for high heat specify a neutral oil instead, and the substitution is not optional.
