Would deep frying with cold pressed olive oil be healthy ?

Ive read that when you cook olive oil it doesnt change the property of it so that would make it good to fry with maybe? Like chicken breasts and veggies unbreaded would be what i would cook...tyWould deep frying with cold pressed olive oil be healthy ?

Olive Oil, Lower Temperatures Less Toxic in Frying. Frying with canola oil releases more toxic fumes into the air than frying with olive oil,





Smoke Points for types of oils.


Safflower 265 degrees C


Sunflower 246 degrees C


Soybean 241 degrees C


Canola 238 degrees C


Corn 236 degrees C


Peanut 231 degrees C


Sesame 215 degrees C


Olive 190 degrees C


Lards 183 to 205 degrees C


A number of factors will decrease the smoke point of any fat:


combination of vegetable oils in products


presence of foreign properties (batter)


temperature to which oil is heated


presence of salt


number of times oil is used


length of time oil is heated


storage of oil (exposure to oxygen, light, temperature)


Knowing the smoke point will also warn you about, because of its proximity to, the flash point and fire point. An oil reaches its flash point (about 320 degrees C (600 degrees F) for most oils) when tiny wisps of fire begin to leap from its surface. If the oil is heated to its fire point (slightly under 400 degrees C (700 degrees F) for most oils), its surface will be ablaze.Would deep frying with cold pressed olive oil be healthy ?
cold press olive oil won't be good for deep frying as it can't really reach the high temperatures you need to deep fry - it'll make things soggy instead. Cold pressed olive oil also has a good taste which you lose with cooking, its much better used in salads or drizzled over pasta.





For deep drying as healthy as it can be, just use a plain vegetable oil like sunflower and get it very hot, so the food doesn't absorb a lot of the oil, and shake off the excess. Also use a tempura-type batter rather than a heavy fish and chip type batter, and it'll be less stodgy.
It will be a lot healthier than cooking with some of the other oils. Many of those have that little injection of hydrogen


and yes.. chicken or anything else will fry up nicely and I think you'll find that you like the taste better as well, although it will be substantially more expensive.
nope. the only time olive oil is good for your health is to just spoon a tea spoon in . dont cook with it . it lose's its power. so i mean you can try it but i dont think its going to that good. olive oil is good on your salads. and such. raw.
Deep frying anything is not good for you.
No olive oil should be used for deep frying.


Or any frying for that matter






No, olive oil, is not for deep frying. The smoke point is not high enough.
