Hot pan, cold oil, everybody happy!

I recall a Chinese TV chef saying: "Hot pan, cold oil, everybody happy!" ---- except when you set off the smoke alarms. I imagine these Filippo  Berio Tuscan's dancers on my olive oil can are happy because they know oils smoke at these temperatures :

• Avocado (520F), 
• safflower (510F), 
• soybean (495F), 
• extra light olive (468F)

Middle hot -- refined oils:

• peanut (450F),
• corn (450F),
• sunflower (450F)

• all unrefined oils (225)
