Although olive oil is a healthy oil, it has a flavor and burns easily. Of course there are different grades of olive oil. Extra Virgin is the healthiest, has the strongest flavor, and burns the easiest.It's not a great frying oil, or even a good one.

As the oil is more processed to remove all but the pure fat, it becomes lighter in flavor, and more tollerant of heat. For frying, the healthiest, and best temperature characteristics are had by using nut oils, especially walnut, and peanut oils. Both have high smoke points and are nutritionaly sound.

In fact, walnut oil is high in Omega-3 fatty acids, which is good stuff. The problem with nut oils is that they have a flavor. For neutral flavored oils, Sunflower is the most benign.

It is high in polyunsaturates, and contains mono-unsaturates as well. It has virtually no flavor and a high smoke point.It is a great all-around cooking oil. Safflower oil comes in third, followed by soybean oil.

Of the saturated fats (solid fats), lard is better than butter, which is better than trans-fats (margerine). discusscooking.com/forums/f12/what-oil-i... html.

Oils with high smoke points, in other words, those that do not break down at deep frying temperatures, are best. Peanut oil, safflower oil, sunflower oil, and canola oil are some good choices.

Probably grapeseed oil. Grape seed oil has a much higher smoke point of around 420 Fahrenheit, higher than olive oil, so it can be used safely and successfully for deep frying, wok cooking, and sautéing at a high heat. Com/tipstools/ingredients/2008/10/grapeseed_oil.

You're welcome. I just started wok cooking again and did a lot of research regarding what oil was the healthiest choice and could handle the high temps demanded. Com/Organic-Grapeseed-Pressed-refined-16-65Oz/dp/B003AUET6I.

The healthiest thing to do would be to pitch the deep fryer altogether.

It wasn't a trick question! Some how I knew I would get a reply like that. Only the facts madam, only the facts!

I've figured that out all by myself.... THANK'S. Gomer 7 months ago .

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
