Question I use olive oil for frying and deep frying. Is it a better or worse choice compared to other oils (sunflower, corn etc.)?
Thank you
Answer Hello,
It depends on what you expect from the oil. Olive oil has a better (for your health) fatty acid composition than sunflower or corn oils.
However, if you aim to better culinary properties, take either peanut or grape seed oils since they have higher temperature of smocking so you food fries without the 'burnt' flavor and preserves taste better.
