Olive oil is suitable for high-temperature cooking: especially fried foods at oil temperatures of 130 degrees to 190 degrees. At this temperature, olive oil will coat the food with a golden crispy shell, making the taste more attractive without reducing its nutritional value. In addition, the oil does not penetrate deep into the food, so food fried in olive oil appears lighter and easier to be digested by the human body.
Recommended cooking methods: Consumers must be reminded: Do not overheat any vegetable oil when cooking, even olive oil suitable for high-temperature frying. The cooking method of igniting a blazing flame in a wok is indeed beautiful, but it is unscientific, because when the oil temperature is extremely high, all vegetable oils will produce a variety of carcinogens that are harmful to humans. The recommended method for cooking with olive oil is: Divide the amount of oil in the prepared stir-fry into two portions. When you start to heat the pan, pour less olive oil. A small amount of olive oil is enough to sauté the onions, ginger, and garlic. When the oil temperature is six or seven minutes hot, you can add vegetables to the pot and stir-fry. (Sixty or seventy percent hot is about putting bamboo chopsticks into the oil, and the area around the chopsticks will just bubble.) Olive oil is a kind of fat that can be eaten raw. It does not need to be overheated to maximize its own fragrance. When the stir-fried vegetables are halfway cooked, add the remaining olive oil. Although this is a bit more troublesome, the nutrients in the olive oil are retained to the maximum extent.
Olive oil expands when heated, so it is more economical to cook the same dish. The amount of oil required is only 1/3 of the amount of other vegetable oils, which is very economical and healthy. It is recommended that when frying food, use a cooking vessel with a smaller diameter and upright sides to hold more olive oil in a smaller area. In addition, it is best to put food into frying slowly to prevent the food from causing the oil temperature to drop sharply and affecting the cooking effect.
Olive oil can be used repeatedly: Olive oil will not decompose when the oil temperature does not exceed 210 degrees (unlike other vegetable oils, which will decompose carcinogens when the oil temperature is high), so it can be used repeatedly . Just use gauze or filter paper to filter out any impurities after cooking. Used oil should be stored in enameled, glazed earthenware or stainless steel vessels to prevent oxidation.
