Can I use Olive Oil for deep frying? Is this healthy (I mean as compared to using other cooking oil)?

I read somewhere that using Olive Oil at high temperature (like deep frying) may do more harm than good. What is real fact about this?Can I use Olive Oil for deep frying? Is this healthy (I mean as compared to using other cooking oil)?
The smoke point (the point at which oil begins to release smoke particles) can be as high as 410 degrees for olive oil which is marked as ';olive oil'; quality.





You can indeed use it as a deep frying oil. I do.Can I use Olive Oil for deep frying? Is this healthy (I mean as compared to using other cooking oil)?
Olive oil tends to burn at a high temperature so it isn't good for deep frying.
Olive oil has a low smoke point.... it will not take the heat well. It is used for pan frying and sauteeing but you can't deep fry. Use canola or saflower oil.
Sunflower oil or rapeseed oil are more healthier.
it burns use canola its light and has a higher burn temp ,,an olde army cook
Olive oil absorbs too much heat to fry with. You food will look OK, but it will have a badly burned taste.
olive oil has a relatively low heat point....which means it burns at high temp..I don't know that it's harmful...but it becomes bitter...to deep fry effectively...oil should be at least 350...use a lighter colored oil
No its not good but canola oil works great.It has less fat and so on.Give it a try.
i thought peanut oil is supposed to be good. im not sure though... lol sorry.
STUPID IDEAD DUMMY, YOUR SHOULD USE CABOLA OIL IT DOESNT BURN AT HIGHER TEMPERTURES.
no if you want healthy use peant oil it has a high smoke point ( it will last longer) and its not to expensive like olive oil would be.
olive oil has a lower flash point than manyother oils, burns quicker, not recommened for frying. Health wise its fine, just dangerous to fry with at high temps
Excessively heating olive oil will evaporate the alcohols and esters which make up its delicate taste and fragrance. Heating olive oil will not change its health aspects, only the flavor. Use a cheaper olive oil which doesn't have much flavor to begin with if you want to fry with it, add a more flavorful olive oil after cooking or at the table.
Olive oil has a low smoke point, which means it burns at a relatively low temperature. If your heart it set on it, use light or extra-light olive oil, but i wouldnt suggest it. Burnt olive oil tastes like sh*t and it will ruin your food.
I would not use olive oil for deep frying. If you want to use a healthy oil try canolla oil p-nut oil or safflower oil Those are 3 good oils to cook with....kitkatz06
We use it for stir frying, but not deep frying. It is still fattening, but is supposed to help keep the cholesterol manageable.
