Olive oil doesn't taste like anything if you cook it

You do realise that, unlike you, not all olive oil is extra virgin, yeah? And that some are indeed neutral oils? You do, right? Right??

>>17098401
truth
>>17098407
moron

>>17098401
not saying it doesn't happen but i've never seen olive oil recommended for those dishes.

>>17098450
There's a ton of recipes out there that just recommend olive oil for literally everything because the blogger who wrote it fell for the meme that it's healthier than other cooking fats. Disturbing number of professional chefs recommend it as the default for pretty much everything too.

>>17098401
For me, it's Coconut Oil

>>17098460
you gonna step up, faggot?

>>17098401
I only use olive oil or butter depending on what I'm cooking

sautee mushrooms in extra virgin olive oil with a shit load of black pepper and some oregano, a little salt
scramble eggs into mushrooms
olive oil pepper mushrooms eggs.
It's my favorite breakfast food.

I'm wondering why grape seed oil is not the most popular oil.

>Highest smoke point
>Totally neutral
>Relatively cheap

Is there some kind of catch that I'm not aware of? Is it gonna give me cancer?

>>17098401
> let's make it taste of olives!
yes
>olives would improve that!
definitely
>surely olives should be included!
of course

you just sound like a butthurt ruskie or chink.
olives literally founded civilization while you cunts were playing with sticks and mud.

>>17098558
All refined oils are neutral (cold pressed == refined).

>>17098599
EVOO is cold pressed and it is anything but neutral

>>17098401
i just use butter
olive oil and olives in general are good though, you're just a fag

what is the best oil to use for cooking eggs?

>>17098718
Bacon grease, duck fat if you're fancy

>>17098649
It's more about how it's marketed, if it's being marketed as cold pressed it's almost always refined. If it's virgin they market it as such, if not they start searching for bullshit.

>>17098741
>if it's being marketed as cold pressed it's almost always refined
Whoa, I haven’t seen that.
Can you show an example of oil labeled as “cold pressed” which is actually refined using heat and therefore isn’t actually cold pressed?

>>17098558
>Highest smoke point
smoke points is contested. There was a study where they said that smoke point isn't exactly correlated to healthiness of frying, but fat's stability was more important, and evoo was more stable even after the smoking poiint.
we will see in the future

>>17098401
>he eschews the pre-eminently vastly superior civilization-building olive oil and the unspeakably based and dairypilled butter in favor of fake and gay seed oils invented by fake and gay post-industrial agriculture ponzi schemes

>>17098558
seed oils are industrial runoff that jews started selling to npcs because they're technically edible.

I would say kill yourself but you seem to be doing that already by choosing to use seed oils instead of based animal fats or olive oil for everything.

>>17098718
>what is the best oil to use for cooking eggs?

Lard or butter. Try a bean and egg soft taco from an authentic mexican restaurant and you'll taste the difference.

>>17099324
>sausage is industrial waste that jews started selling to npcs because it's technically edible

>>17098718
Bacon fat if you want it to taste bacony, butter if you don't

>>17098401
>scrambled eggs? let's make it taste of olives!
>fried rice? olives would improve that!

>>17098401
>scrambled eggs? let's make it taste of olives!
Things that don't happen for 400, please.

>>17100302
You underestimate how stupid people who follow Tasty and similar "cooking" channels are anon.

>>17100257
Now you're catching on

>>17098401
Olive oil does not taste strongly of olives.
Olive flavour makes me gag and I can enjoy good olive oil in my salad

>>17098401
It doesn't taste like olives, even extra virgin.

>>17098460
It's not a meme, it is unsaturated fats.
Next you'll say water is a meme.

>>17100319
It is a meme because the people who care about it fundamentally don't understand how to select a cooking fat and just go with "I believe the SCIENCE and Gordon Ramsay says to use olive oil for my steaks" then heat their scratched teflon pan to 500F and pour in a bunch of extra virgin olive oil and wait for it to smoke.

I've seen dipshits add a quarter cup of olive oil to a nonstick pan to cook DUCK. It's a meme and you're a retard.

>>17098401
I like how olives tastes

>olive oil
>tastes like olives
when did seekay become this retarded

>>17098401
I don't think olive oil affects the flavour of things as much as you think it does

>>17098741
uhhh anon i don't think you know what any of those words mean

>>17098590
I didn't realize that Egyptians and Mesopotamians ate olives back in 2000 BC

I use beef tallow. Makes everything taste fantastic.

>>17100343
I think you're a tastelet

>>17100329
Well they are idiots. Ramsey and any basic cooking video would tell them not to burn the oil. But you're not coming after people the burn the oil are you?

>>17098436
Thank you for your opinion, ma'am, but your mouth is more valuable for what can go into rather than what comes out.

>>17100373
>PAN, nice and HOT
>Olive oil IN
>STEAKS. In the pan.

Olive oil is shit for a steak to begin with, but no the idiots perpetuating the meme don't make it clear that it's best suited to lower cooking temps, if they did they wouldn't be recommending it for things that are best done at high temperatures.

>>17098558
You should be equally worried about the stability of the fat you're using as you are about the smoke point.
There is a chemical difference between saturated and unsaturated fat that makes saturated stable at room temp, and unsaturated quite reactive.
This makes unsaturated fat prone to oxidation which can cause a host of horrible health outcomes if you ingest them at this stage.
Polyunsaturated fats like those found in s0ybean oil, corn oil, canola oil, grape seed oil, any seed oil really - are the most unstable, even more than monounsaturated fats like olive and avocado oil.
They have been proven to oxidize simply by existing at room temp DAYS after they're processed and this is before they even make it to the grocery store shelf for you to buy and THEN heat it up on your stove, oxidizing it further.
Ingesting oxidized fat can cause cancer and be very inflammatory. In combination with high blood sugar, these oxidation products can damage the LDL in your bloodstream which makes them unrecognizable to the LDL receptors on your liver, meaning they won't be taken out of circulation as they normally would be. They'll end up in your artery wall, and eventually they'll cause a heart attack.
To be the safest with cooking fat, I would always choose saturated. Its the most stable, chemically, and has a high smoke point.

Take you buzzword and go back.

>>17100397
good meme anon

>>17100392
Based.

>>17100392
You don't have to censor soy here, it's a cooking board. If it's one place soy is going to be discussed genuinely it's here.

>>17100478
This is a cooking board!?

>>17100447
You apparently, at a based oil that all cookong should be based on (see what I did there?).

>meme
/mēm/
noun
noun: meme; plural noun: memes

an element of a culture or system of behavior that may be considered to be passed from one individual to another by nongenetic means, especially imitation.

People using olive oil for everything because they see people on TV/Youtube doing it and believe it is always the healthiest option is quite literally a meme.

>>17100492

Go. Back.

>>17100485
>this is a knife

>>17100478
Oh nice
I'm too used to other board I guess haha

>>17098662
>>17100225
I said stop using it as the default, not "don't use it at all". Too often people throw in olive oil where an appropriate animal fat would be better.

>>17098718
Butter or bacon supposedly. I find butter (kerry gold specifically) to be tastier though.

>>17098718
something from an animal obviously.
"oils" taste like shit, its not hard to imagine why

>>17100392
Man, I didn't even know this shit and now I'm even more confused. I googled "seed oil ldl" and one of the first results is "Seed oils are better for cholesterol than olive oil".

Guess youre fucked then lmfao

>>17098401

>>17098401
>oil should be neutral
you disgust me

>>17103078
