Cooking question bout olive oil?

Question

can extra virgin olve oil be used in deep fat fryer,if so how many fries does it last b4 changing it

Answer 1

It can be,and the best way to do it is to add a k**b of butter to your oil.This gives extra strength whilst frying.It will last a couple of times.

Answer 2

No and No

However, don't know about 'extra virgin olve oil'...might have different properties!

Sod it...burn the house down!!

Answer 3

Not a good idea as olive oil can't reach a high temperature without burning. If you are concerned about the healthy aspect, use sunflower oil, a lot cheaper and can reach much higher temperature without burning.

Answer 4

It's not a good idea, it's too heavy. It's best to use sunflower / vegetable oil for deep fat fryer.  

Answer 5

Hi I do know that there is a deep fat fryer out now that only takes 1 tablespoon of oil to fry and you can use olive oil in this type of fryer. but for normal deep fat fryers I would just say to use normal cooking oil either sunflower or vegetable as by the time you have paid £4 for a litre bottle of olive oil it is a bit expensive.

You can fry in olive oil in general as its low in fat more then sunflower and vegetable and really you only need a little bottle of it but when you have to buy big bottles then it cost loads of money.

So either buy the deep fat fryer that you can use olive oil in its expensive or use the normal stuff. I think the deep fat fryer that you use the 1 table spoon in is around £180

Answer 6

You've already been told: Olive oil is a dressing oil and NOT a cooking oil

Answer 7

A waste I  think  Use  sunflower oil  About 3 times  .  Don't like deep fat fryers anyway   Horrible things    

Answer 8

I heard you are only suppose to fry once or twice, so extra virgin olive oil would work out dearer than what you were frying. And it wont be any healthier cause your still frying rather than grilling.
