Here's a thing, /ck/. I've been an oil pleb for most of my life, using hardly anything other than supermarket bought olive or canola for most things. But then I startet using coconut oil on this and sunflower seed oil on that and next thing I know I've discovered this whole new world of cold pressed oil from all sorts of things. It's expensive as shit sometimes but everything tastes great, so fresh and nuanced on flavour and aroma. And then I stoped using regular oil altogether, except for one thing: deep fry. It's seems like you simply can't use virgin oil for deep frying, the smoke point is always too low. So here's my question: is it really? Is there no exception? If I want to eat a healthy oil I simply can't use it to deep fry anything?

That is correct.

But if you deep fry correctly, you add only a very small amount of oil to your food. Deep frying isn't unhealthy per se, but most of what people deep fry is

Yeah, depending on the format of the food, for exemple. But what can I use for that? I heard some things about peanut oil, but I think it was the regular kind. Most extra virgin, cold pressed oils have such a strong flavour they impact a lot on the food.

The oil is where the taste is

cold pressed rapeseed oil has a high smoke point.

Unitiated with regards to good oils, but what you say seems very interesting. What kind of oils go with what, OP? Thanks in advance!

Virgin oil shouldn't really be used for any kind of frying at all. It's for cold use.
