olive oil for frying?

[Francesca]

Don't EVEN get me started on Monsanto

That is a topic that gets my blood pressure up.

Regarding oil for frying - we rarely fry food. When we do I use peanut or canola oil. I do use olive oil to brown meat and for sautéing. Everything except "deep frying". The only thing I occasionally fry are fish and chicken.

We no longer make traditional fried turkeys. We use a Big Easy Oil less fryer. It is powered with LPG and cooks with infrared heat. The same outcome without the mess or cost of actually frying in oil. Crispy skin and delicious, juicy meat.

Sounds like an interesting machine .. However, sautéeing is quite a bit different than deep frying .. The Mediterraneans are slow to adopt to xxi machinery as we love our traditions.

I do not wish to get into the world´s Violent Criminals & Rapists of the natural our lands give us or had given other countries ..

Have a nice day ..

when pan frying or saute, i use about half and half veg or canola, and EVOO.
Better mouth and nose, and higher, more efficient smoke point.
I do use straight EVOO on occasion though, such as garlic infested, satued
mushrooms.

Hi!!
Fried foods in olive oil is good for health. But if you wanna keep on diet don't take frying foods.
