Is it true that olive oil doesn't stick to food as much as regular oil when frying pork chops or french fries?

my grandmother keeps saying its true, but i have a feeling she pulled this out of her ***.





im trying to convince her to stop frying things with olive oilIs it true that olive oil doesn't stick to food as much as regular oil when frying pork chops or french fries?
Actually, it NOT good to deep fry in olive oil because it has a very low smoke point. This is the point where the oils starts to break down. Peanut oils have a higher smoke point and can be used for deep frying with no worries. And if you fry at the right temperature, the food does not absorb as much oil.





Light sauteeing is fine with olive oil, just don't let it get too hot!Is it true that olive oil doesn't stick to food as much as regular oil when frying pork chops or french fries?
oil is more than a cartoon character, historic symbol of peace and glory or food staple of the much-vaunted Mediterranean diet. It is actually tremendously useful stuff, finding applications in personal care, home improvement, green cleaning, natural remedies and other areas.





It's long been reported that there are a number of health benefits of olive oil. As a foodstuff it has a high concentration of monounsaturated fatty acids, which studies show promote ';good'; cholesterol (HDL) while lowering ';bad'; cholesterol (LDL). Olive oil is also known to be gentle on the digestive system, and even may help prevent gallstones and soothe ulcers. Good quality olive oil contains valuable vitamins and nutrients, and it is loaded with antioxidants, which many believe help protect the body from cancer.





These days there are an increasing array of organic and boutique olive oils offered for sale, some of them quite pricey. In general, the less processed an oil the more nutrients it contains, although the more expensive it tends to be. ';Extra virgin'; olive oil comes from the first pressing of olives, and retains the most flavor and aroma. Most better brands are also advertised as ';cold pressed,'; meaning they aren't heated up beyond room temperature during processing. Unsurprisingly, high heat can damage the flavor and nutrients in the oil. ';Virgin'; olive oil generally comes from the second pressing. Cheaper brands sold as ';regular'; or ';pure'; olive oil are made with chemical refining and filtering, which standardize and neutralize flavors and acid contents. They have lower nutrient levels as a result.





To help protect the fragile environments of the Mediterranean and elsewhere, it's a good idea to buy organic olive oil when you can. It also will tend to be of high quality and flavor, great for spaghetti, oven-roasted vegetables, fresh salads and many other dishes.
hi!





no, olive oil doesn't work as well. i mean it dose work, but the regular oil works way better.


my dad always cooks with it, and it doesn't quite do the job. then when my mom cooks them, she used the regular, and it tastes much better.


also, when you cook , the olive one doesn't taste right. plus, it has more fat in it as the regular oil.





hope this helped!
I don't know if that's true or not, but I do know that it is healthier to fry with olive oil than vegetable oil (if you have to fry in the first place).
