I steam a lot of food these days, however combinations of oils are used in lieu of salt or sugar in several dishes.

For example, oatmeal when being cooked has coconut oil added to it, and just before serving some butter is mixed in. This method heightens the flavor of the oils/fats and the oats.

Similar method with rice, I use coconut oil, sesame oil and butter in small amounts.

Fats/oils used in sparing amounts can liven up a steamed dish.

If I fry something it is in mostly coconut oil, and add a small amount of olive oil so it will brown.

I used the above mixture to make sweet potato fries on the BBQ gas burner so oil did not get in the house.
