But we must remind everyone that any vegetable oil should not be overheated, even olive oil suitable for high-temperature frying is no exception. Our suggested cooking method of olive oil is: divide the amount of oil in the prepared stir-fry into two parts, and pour less olive oil when the hot oil wok is started. A little olive oil is enough to stir-fry onions, ginger and garlic. When the oil temperature is six or seven minutes hot, you can pour the vegetables into the pot and stir fry. (The heat of six or seven minutes is probably putting bamboo chopsticks in oil, and the chopsticks just bubble around. ) Olive oil is an oil that can be eaten raw, which maximizes its own flavor and will not overheat. When the fried vegetables are cooked two or three times, add the remaining olive oil. This can retain the nutrients in olive oil to the greatest extent.
Olive oil expands when heated, so you only need 1/3 other vegetable oil to cook the same dish, which is very economical and healthy. It is suggested that when frying food, use a cooking container with a smaller diameter and put more olive oil in a smaller range. In addition, it is best to stir-fry food slowly to avoid a sharp drop in oil temperature and affect the cooking effect.
Olive oil can be reused. Olive oil will not decompose when the oil temperature does not exceed 2 10 degrees (unlike other vegetable oils, it will decompose carcinogens when the oil temperature is high), so it can be reused. After cooking, filter impurities with gauze or filter paper. Used oil should be stored in enamel, glazed pottery or stainless steel vessels to prevent oxidation.
A typical Mediterranean breakfast is to pour some olive oil and sprinkle some salt on bread slices (baked or uncooked). At present, the popular healthy vegetable salad is also quite simple to make.

It is a fashionable and popular weight-loss salad and an ideal choice for women who want to lose weight.
