Olive Oil

I know that a lot of you are just going to say look it up, but it's one of those things where you can find 20 of each article saying its good or bad and i just want a real answer from a real person.

Olive oil is so good you can even deep fry with EVOO. You shouldn't, but you could.

Olive oil is fine for cooking most things, it's just RIPPING hot pans set to high heat that you want to avoid with it because the smoke point is lower than most oils.

Sauteing works fine, Roasting things in the oven works fine. Unless you're maxing out your gas you shouldn't have a problem with it.

The smoke point of olive oil is somewhat mid-low, so the fata in it will burn away at high enough heats. You COULD fry with it a few times but, the flavor and health benefits will be reduced.

Thank you for the advice!
I wasn't really thinking of frying anything, but the fact of knowing that still using it in saute and other things for cooking is a relief.
Many of the sights recommended sunflower oil as an alternative but that just seemed to be to far fetched to get a generous supply of.
Good to know I can still use the best oil.

Olive oil is not good. It's only less harmful than other extracted fats.

I have no ethical opposition to oil. It's just counterproductive to deliberately remove all the nutrients from something and eat it. Olive oil is best used for making soap.

Listen to >>9375509 OP, if you must use a oil to cook with then read this:

The best option is avocado oil which has the highest ratio of mono-unsaturated fat to saturated & poly-unsaturated types, a high smoke point, and a neutral flavor profile. It's kinda pricey though if you don't order it online. The runner-up budget option is actually canola.

Fat is an essential nutrient, dingus.

>>9375708
Doesn't canola oil have an unlabeled trace amount of trans fats?

>>9375725
Yes, but not extracted fat. You can eat tasty ingredients with fat in them instead of flavorless oil.

Quality of olive oil matters. Pleb tier supermarket olive oil probably isn't ok for cooking.
