cooking with olive oil or coconut oil?
okay so i always thought that cooking with coconut oil was the safest way... so if i rub in chicken breasts with coconut oil, and put it in the oven at 220 degrees celsius... its already reached its smoking point of 177 degrees celsius according to this website [url]http://www.cookingforengineers.com/article.php?id=50[/url] and according to that same website it passing its smoking point makes it unhealthy
then olive oil for instance... its good to cook with right? but i was wondering, my sister told me a whole ago she read somewhere that cooking with extra virgin olive oil was a big no-no... so i automatically assumed it had something to do with hydrogenating it... then i read on this website that olive oil is a much much safer oil to cook with than say corn oil, so i do a little research on cooking with extra virgin olive oil, but i cant find a single thing specifically about cooking with the extra virgin type on google... so is it just as safe to cook with exrta virgin olive oil as the cheap one and was my sister just telling me bull**** (as always)?
is it safer to cook with olive oil than coconut oil at high temperatures because it has a higher smoking point?
thanks.. i will rep anyone whos being helpful :)
