The article is quite incomplete.

it talks about cooking oils but does not give the proper information.

Cooking with oils involves knowing the "smoke point"
Look here:

If you burn the oil (surpass the smoke point) the oil will give the food an
unpleasant taste - the exception of course being butter - where burning the
butter lightly will give a very nice nutty flavor.
