What the Yuppiechefs say

Why choose olive oil:

Frying oil at temperatures around 180°C and higher starts interaction between oil and air and causes oxidization which increases cholesterol levels. Extra virgin olive oil remains stable at high temperatures because of its antioxidant properties and high oleic acid content. Therefore it is less vulnerable to forming toxic products. Furthermore olive oil doesn't penetrate fried foods as much as other cooking oils do.

Some advice:

Heat the oil slowly, keeping it at about 180°C.
Salt draws water out of foods so add salt to the food after it's been cooked
Olive oil is fine to use 6-7 times over, so strain the oil through filter paper if you want to use it again
Olive oil has a low 'flash point' meaning it catches fire more easily
