Cooking products in overheated fats is carcinogenic and there is not a
shred of research disproving that.

which is exactly what the original recipe calls for.

Well, it actually said "very little oil" over "high" heat. Oil
breakdown is easy to see - it smokes. If that happens, toss it.

Using a high-temp oil like refined grapeseed. This starts to
decompose, or smoke, at 420 degrees F.

Unrefined grapeseed has a "smoke point" of 320 degrees.

No oil smoking, you're ok to go, and should survive till 105, barring
all other causes of death ;-) YMMV.
