Re: Olive Oil
olive oil is not good for deep frying, it burns at a lower temperature than veg oil. It will go very bitter tasting.
Good for shallow frying, eg fried egg, frying onions, burgers, waffles etc
Good for salad dressing
Re: Olive Oil
I put some olive oil on my salads as someone told me its good for the heart, am i doing something wrong?
Re: Olive Oil
Olive oil is the healthiest oil, but still is fat, therefore is very high in calories.
All cooking oil contains about 120 calories per tablespoon (tbsp).
Healthier cooking oils contain less saturated fat and more monounsaturated fat.
Probably the best cooking oil is olive oil.
Nadeem, doesnt it get rid of the 'bad' cholesterol in the body? I forgot what its called, starts with a G i think...
i googled it and your right...
Olive oil works its magic by lowering the bad cholesterol without affecting the good cholesterol, so the overall ratio of LDL to HDL favors a lowering in heart desease (thickening of the arteries in your heart)
Re: Olive Oil
oil oil is good for cooking salans. do not use it for deep frying. the most frying you can do is maybe make shami kebab or fry an egg. olive oil tends to burn at a lower temperature than vegetable or corn oils, hence it's not so good. also, you can use less amounts of olive oil in food making. it's also better to use olive oil when you're serving raw foods like salads.

Maybe U were thinking of OMEGA 3 Oils..........Right?
Re: Olive Oil
Forget about harmfulness if you use Olive oil in deep frying, it is expensive so it wouldn't make sense to use it for deep frying. I use it in all salans, kababs, rice dishes. It's a secret of good health! BTW, a lot of times I mix it with Canola(another healthy choice!) and I'm good to go. It tastes GREAT too! :)

You're absolutely right about its benefit to the heart. Using olive oil in salads is an ideal way to consume it!

Bingo! Now my question is, is it ok to just add some in a salad, or do you have to consume it through stuff thats cooked in olive oil?
Re: Olive Oil
just eat the olive oil 
make a nice vinegarette, pour it all over your salad and eat it.
you mean drink it! dont try to koonfuse!
Re: Olive Oil

Re: Olive Oil

Re: Olive Oil
Drinking a few tablespoons of olive oil on a daily basis is supposed to reduce gastrointestinal problems.
