Hi All - I deep fry but only occasionally, maybe once a month, and am trying to land on a good fat to use. I don’t really want to use a solid fat as it’s difficult with my fryer that has an immersed element and it gets expensive e.g. coconut oil or good quality beef tallow. Likewise avocado oil is really expensive here too so I can’t now go that route either. Light olive oil looks like a good contender though… liquid, cheap, high smoke point.
I know there are similar threads but I’m looking specifically for thoughts on light olive oil e.g like this one.
Has anyone got any views? Any reason I wouldn’t want to use this?
