You fuckers realize there are so many varieties of olive oil. Everyone just assumes it is a high flavored oil with a low smoking point.

Each have their own flavor and application.

For anyone who cooks with EVOO however, you are retarded.

Agreed. You can take ghee to high temprature without it tasting like burnt asshole. It helps to to lock in the eggs juices. Just make sure you leave the eggs out for 20 minutes to come to room temperature or they will cook unevenly.

Yeah really, Not understanding that there's a difference between EVOO and normal olive oil is pretty "plen".

Frying in EVOO is indeed stupid.
Frying in refined olive oil makes perfect sense.

why?

I don't disagree with you, I just want to know what's bad about using EVOO to fry thing? (not deep fry).

I'm new to cooking so...

what's a ''safe'' oil to use for cooking chicken breast, eggs and steak? that's basically all I eat that needs frying, I just want the least potentially health damaging oil, if there is such a thing...

coconut oil maybe?
what do you think of avocado oil?

>I just want to know what's bad about using EVOO to fry thing?

EVOO contains a lot of juices from the olives. This makes it very flavorful. That also gives it a low smoke point because those juices burn at a very low temperature. When you heat up EVOO enough to cook with it you are burning those juices. That makes the food taste bad, can put potentially dangerous chemicals in your food, and it also wastes the very thing that makes EVOO so expensive.

Use EVOO for things that require LOW heat, or no heat at all, like dressings or marinades.

If you want an oil to cook chicken, eggs, or steak, there's many choices. Ordinary olive oil is a good choice. So is anything with a fairly high smoke point. Just google "smoke point of cooking oils" and choose one that's around 400F or higher.

>>what do you think of avocado oil

I don't really care for the taste, but that's my opinion. Yours may vary. It has a very high smoke point, which is good. On the other hand, it's also very expensive.

I use ordinary (aka "light" or refined) olive oil for general purpose use. If I need to cook something on very high heat (like searing a steak) I use peanut oil.

>> No.5485520

>>5485457
refined olive oil with a higher smoke point.

Or grapeseed oil.

For more flavor, go with clarified butter or lard/bacon grease.

you can't cook with olive oil unless you buy an olive oil specifically meant for cooking because of it's low smoke point.

If it's cooked to anything over 100 degrees, it becomes really unhealthy to ingest

if you want to work with a healthier oil, use grapeseed oil!!

>> No.5486338

You can fry eggs in extra vurgin olive oil, you faggots. Eggs fry very quickly, and you can use a very low temperature for them. Yes, the olive oil will begin to degrade, but it won't have nearly enough time or enough heat to make a big difference. And the olive oil gives a nice flavor for a change of pace from frying in butter. Goes great with a chiffonade of basil on top.

>> No.5486341

Eggs should be fried in bacon grease. If that is unavailable you use butter.

Those are your options and your only option

And that is MOST olive oils.

the only one you cannot cook with is extra-virgin. All the others are refined or made from pomace and thus are OK to cook with.

>> No.5486356

>>5486327
EVOO has a smoke point around 170 degree celcius, so you can cook with it on low temperatures, like if you slow roast vegetables.
