Is it OK to fry with olive oil?
I've heard you're not supposed to - why is that then?
Answers:
Yes it burns easily - use for gentle sauteeing, not fast frying. But also olive oil contains delicate monounsaturated oils which are good for your health and are destroyed by heat. So I use a cheap olive oil for cooking and a posh one for salad. I think the rule not to do it is because it is a waste of good oil, not because it does any harm
