I have been using spray oils, rather than regular oils, to pre-oil the cooking surface. Is that OK?

FAQ : Scanpan Cookware, Free Shipping on Scanpan Titanium no...
We did not recommend aerosol spray oils for use with the original SCANPAN CLASSIC/ERGONOMIC surface. These oils may contain ingredients, which may carbonize at relatively low temperatures. That, in turn, may lead to an oil and carbon residue forming on the cooking surface and blocking the nonstick surface from doing its job. SCANPAN CLASSIC/ERGONOMIC NEW TEK can be used with any oils or seasoning, or without any seasoning.

Frying is not recommended for health. If you must fry use high oleic sunflower, high oleic safflower, sesame or olive oil. Adding water while frying will keep the temperatures down to acceptable levels. Extra virgin olive oil can be used for boiling and baking.

Will cooking with Coconut Oil cause it to become hydrogenated and toxic like hydrogenated oils?

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions - Tropical Traditions
No. Hydrogenation is an industrial process where hydrogen molecules are introduced to the oil to make it solid at room temperatures. It chemically alters the oil and creates harmful trans fatty acids. Cooking with coconut oil does NOT introduce hydrogen into the oil or hydrogenate it. Coconut oil is a very stable oil even at higher temperatures. However, it is best not to cook beyond the smoke point of coconut oil, as this will begin to deteriorate the oil and turn it yellow.
