@joan3338last year Here in Greece we dip bread when we finish our salads. It has tomato juice, cheese crumbles, lemon or white vinegar and olive oil. We eat so much bread it's considered a second meal. 1964

@kingkong6539last year This man is a good guy. He reminds me of a teacher of mine. He was a teacher with a lot of passion for his job and really made a difference. I wish you well Andy. 2919

@anthia1156last year The whole Mediterranean cooks with olive oil and we actually live quite long. My family (because we produce our own) even fries with olive oil. 846
@

@jennandcherrieslast year I’m Spanish and we cook with extra virgin olive oil quite a lot. It is true that it doesn’t taste the same as uncooked but it does give base sauces like “sofrito” a better flavour and sofrito is a staple for a lot of dishes in Spain 🥘 don’t be afraid to use olive oil, just cook at a gentle heat ✨ ... 450
@

@Matthatguy119last year “You can’t cook with olive oil” meanwhile all of southern European cuisine 89
@

@isaaccoles9577last year The only bad thing about cooking at high temps with extra virgin olive oil is that it smokes up your house. In Spain we cook pretty much everything with normal olive oil, it makes the food delicious! 145
@

@gumarks_last year I'm Spanish and I usually use different oils like this:
-Extra virgin olive oil for things that don't need cooking, like a salad. I don't want to lose that excellent taste by heating the oil.
-Regular olive oil (which usually includes both refined and virgin oils) for usual cooking (steak, chicken breast, eggs, sauteed vegetables and pretty much anything that doesn't require a lot of oil, just a light amount).
-If I need a bigger amount of oil, such as for deep frying, I prefer to use sunflower oil, which also is a very common oil in Spain. ... 10
@

@murdophlast year I didn't know there were even rumours about them, but thanks for debunking the misinformation 52
@

@KareFreeelast year As a Greek, this is more often than not the only type of oil in the kitchen; so I’ve learned to improvise a lot of dishes with it; olive oil is great 17
@

@skabeche81last year We only cook with olive oil in Spain, it's very healthy 42
@

@ecmcm5363last year I'm Spanish, never ever heard before that olive oil was bad in any way 😂. It's pretty much the only oil we use here. Except sunflower oil for frying and baking some stuff. 1
@

@paulkontos6042last year As a Greek, from an island where nearly every family makes their own extra virgin olive oil, Andy is 100% correct 🎉🎉 6
@

@shaansavanilast year I rewatch your videos at least a couple times every i time I see them. Bro you make some of the best cooking content on the platform and you never spread any negativity. Keep doing everything that you’re doing and good things will continue to happen to you brother. I love this, thank you 🤍 ... 31
@

@loulouloulou2519last year In Spain we usually have toasts with olive oil and tomato for breakfast during the summer 70
@

@vaixell2000last year Aceite de oliva virgen extra de España. Tienes que probarlo Andy. Variedad picual. Exquisito. Saludos. 1
@

@MichailDimDrakomathioulakislast year I think around Mediterranean, olive oil is the standard for cooking. Of course, butter is also used, some other vegetable oils (mainly sesame oil) too, but olive oil is the rule… Since quality control and food quality awareness have increased (at least in the EU countries, that I’m aware of) , for more and more people olive oil means extra virgin olive oil… ... 2
@

@pol...last year Here in Catalonia, my family only cooks with olive oil 45
@

@carmelitajones7779last year Exactly. You're right and the reports are right. Once it gets over 375° approaching 500° degrees, it's a bad idea to cook with olive oil or extra cirgin olive oil. At that point, use real avocado oil or grape seed oil. ... 3
@

@Andrew-mp9hulast year Absolutely love this channel. Andy, Babe, and Basic Mitch are my kind of people. 9

@

@aoifewalsh7303last year Thank you for this. I always cook with olive oil. I have a mixed one with sunflower oil for main cooking and a extra virgin one for salads etc... Such a healthier option. 16
@

@Tboy64last year Finally. All the food Karen’s are going to hate on this 1
@

@anakelly8956last year I buy olive oil and EVOO.
I sauté with the 1st one.
I mostly use the EVOO in homemade vinaigrettes. 1
@

@Char_siu_Lo_mai_fanlast year I don’t own olive oil for cooking as I only cook Chinese food mostly so I don’t need it. I only use it for my hair because my po always told me it very good for my hair and she always uses it haha
Still waiting on the Cantonese family style dinner for Heun Wah please chef! ... 27
@

@artstuff7575last year I love olive oil, it's amazing and holds so many health benefits, and overall is delicious. 6
@

@panosfakoslast year Good said! Also in greece we have a cooking style with the name: ladera which means oily mostly vegetarian dishes like legumes or green beans with lots of olive oil from start to finish
@

@

@aldwinnuguid4472last year I thought I was watching Discovery or NGC. Nice skills Andy. ❤ 26
@

@charjohnson-oh1eclast year Thank you for giving us true info. I always use EVOO, my fav! 5
@

@omegathrone3867last year Man, being from Spain makes this short really weird, here que are always cooking with olive oil! Btw, there is a ultra simple breakfast here in Andalucía called Desayuno molinero, which is just bread, olive oil and sugar, its simple but really good! ... 1
@

@LindaSmith-vq1brlast year I am so glad that you laid out this issue so clearly. It has driven me to distraction trying to explain this. Now I just have to refer to this short. Thank you!
@

@LucasStaffellast year Thank you for enlightening people about that... Had mates that can't make a hardboiled egg talking whack when they saw me use olive oil to cook steak -.- 6
@

@kritikalita5273last year Need more of these informational shorts 2
@

@kims7554last year Love this. You continue to give us the usual content that we love but you’re also expanding and sharing your knowledge. You’re the best, Andy!😊 1
@

@lucahasselberger7114last year They really tell u that in the US😂😂😂
I'm from Spain so I use olive oil to cook everything 4
@

@jaypruitt8639last year I love bread with olive oil and balsamic vinegar!! Little garlic powder 1
@

@Enaluxemelast year Good EVO oil is also very flavorful, so you probably don't want to use it for some dishes as the flavor might cover the flavor of the dish. 1
@

@thomasb3623last year For Oliveoil on Bread i recommend some good Salt, i have one from a nearby saltwork at high quality, handmade its sooo delicious 1
@

@TheNewMediaoftheDawnlast year Italians deep fry in EVOO, it is totally a myth not to cook with it…. It’s absolutely fine. Two best cooking fats for health and flavours are butter(and ghee) and EVOO. 2
@

@LorneSzutolast year recent studies have showed that you should only use regular olive oil for cooking as the oil has had heat applied to it and tempered the oil reducing the production of carcinogens when it reaches its smoking point. virgin olive oil can be use if cooking at low temperature and extra virgin olive oil should be used a flavoring oil. ...
@

@ahleenahlast year When I spent some time in Turkiye, we basically only used olive oil because it was cheap, accessible and just tasted amazing. The choice was between homemade olive oil and driving to the next city for an hour to buy overpriced vegetable oil lol ... 1
@

@Cecilpedia10 months ago I've actually learned so much about frying and cooking with oil thanks to you
@

@dominiclhouvum8231last year i trust this man. he's a chef and has research to back it. instead of those fake cooks and social media influencers
@

@pietrotettamanti7239last year The problem is not the oxidation of the oil, it's pyrolysis (which happens at smoke point). And olive oil does have a lower smoke point than other oils as it has more unsaturated fats (oleic acid, linoleic, alpha linolenic etc.) than other oils (which contain more saturated fats like stearic/palmitic/myristic acid etc.). Saturated fats are less dangerous when heated because they are more stable and don't pyrolize forming PAHs and other dangerous products. And antioxidants do nothing to counteract formation AND action of carcinogenic molecules like benzopyrene. They can only mitigate the effect of oxidizers and scavenge radicals. But that has nothing to do with PAHs.
That said, you can absolutely cook safely with olive oil as long as you keep it below its smoke point. Just don't use it to deep fry stuff. Sunflower seed oil or palm oil are much better suited for that. ...
@

@mwara2444last year I pop my popcorn with it. Taste awesome by itself with a dash of fine ground salt 1
@

@DaDaDo661last year I always knew this. Most Italians fry everything in olive oil. It almost never burns 1
@

@saurisco338last year "At high temperatures looses the taste anyway" this is soooo not true. Have you even ever tried to cook the same dish with different types of oil? It changes everything.
I'm Italian and I would use an oil Taggiasco, from Tuscany or from south of Italy depending on the dish.
And I'm referring only to olive oil.
Other oils just have a bad taste with our recepies (that ofc is debatable depending on where you're from). ... 1
@

@riciricio5393last year i ve seen this video and the carbonara one and i appreciate the way you respect italian and mediterrean culture! it's so difficult to see an anglosaxon like you
@

@Happypandabearlast year Andy teaching in nature is something I didn t know I needed😂❤.
@

@dgcnej6053last year In Spain we cook con olive oil on a daily basis. It is really good in stir fry and to fry it has a greater resistance to frying than other oils
@

@dr.bendover-mdlast year As an Italian, I wholeheartedly agree with everything you said.
@

@fckSashkalast year THANK YOU for clarifying this! I have always been using olive oil for cooking and never had a problem.
@

@faithbarcelo4795last year Thank you so much for making this!!!!!! This was my hill to die on when I taught culinary school. Also "flavorless" oils are oxidized MANY times over during the process of making them, so it's significantly worse than even oxidized olive oil. ...
@

@matthewpatterson4386last year I cook with olive oil all the time! Some people think you need to have the burner on high always 🙈 1
@

@lakliams11 months ago Antioxidant because is high very high in vitamin E, which you'll just "kill" with any amount of heat🤷🏻‍♀️ so your olive oil will start to oxide and so become toxic 1
@

@kimlee1416last year Andy thanks for the information it is greatly appreciated 😊 2
@

@jp-me9zzlast year Nice to see a bit of olive oil science on youtube! We have about 40 trees that are wild olives (tiny and hard) and about another 40 trees that are more regular eating types.. we pressed the fruit separately and found they make COMPLETELY different oils.. really surprised us ...
@

@bleachnbones7107last year As an Italian, if you've never had bread with olive oil but have the means to get your hands on some good quality oil, trust me, try it. You just take a slice of bread (not packaged loafs, not toast, get the good bread, the one with a crunchy crust), drizzle it with good olive oil and sprinkle a bit of salt on top. I swear to God, one of the most delicious "snacks" you'll ever have. I used to have it all the time as a kid.
Another similar snack, you take your slice of bread (better if it's a little stale, if it's too soft you lightly toast it), cut a tomato in half, rub and squeeze the cut side on the bread so it soaks up all the juices and pulp, add a pinch of salt, a bit of olive oil and some fresh basil. If you like it, before the tomato you can rub some garlic on the bread too. It's basically a lazier, less fancy bruschetta. It's also literally heaven ...
@

@soundingthedeep1last year Put it on everything! Quality olive oil is so good for you! We use that, grass fed butter and tallow for cooking. That’s it. We feel so much better
@

@iancanada6875last year Vegetable oils are much more oxidizable at cooking temperatures and they’re already extremely oxidized from the extraction process when extra virgin olive oil is cold pressed which doesn’t oxidize any of the oils.
@

@willstout5988last year Love this Andy, these info bites remind me of Alton Browns Good Eats program on the Food Network back in the 2000s.. a great host, and a great mix of recipes with cooking science
@

@bojacksonsuperturtle7411last year “I don’t know “ when but I’m gonna buy your cooking book 🤣
@

@mr-vetlast year EVOO is my primary cooking oil. Fried eggs; sautéed mushrooms, onions, & peppers; grilled cheese sandwich (instead of using butter or margarine), and lots more. Also use olive oil when baking/oven roasting. I don’t use the expensive stuff though. ...
@

@billtudman7867last year I prefer Macadamia(Bauple nut/Queensland nut) oil. High smoke point, great flavour hot or cold and good as a massage/carrier oil. 1
@

@Visit_Tangierlast year Here in Morocco I eat my olive oil like that in a plate. I harvest the olives myself and go to the presses to squeeze my olive oil cold pressed , no leaves, extremely clean unlike busineses. I get a pure sublime olive oil that smell olive just by opening the cap of the bottle.
I pour about 3 table spoon in a plate, I ad a little bit of salt and this demultiply the strength of the olive oil, it’s just succulent.
Also I can ad salt and also crush a long chili 🌶️ in the oil, believe me, when I eat that, I feel like I just had a full meal like mashed patates and steak.
I understand that if you didn’t grow up eating olive oil with your eggs you might to enjoy the flavor as much , as enjoying strong olive oil is somehow an acquired taste.
But train your palate, and eat it every day with bread , salad etc. When your palate will get older, when you will taste a good olive oil, will feel like tasting life. Tasting something your body was craving, especially if you didn’t have it for like 2 weeks and went on a bad diet on vacation, then when you will take the first bit of olive oil bread, you gonna feel like going all the way to your brain, just like some kind of drugs .
I’m not kidding, this is how I feel. My body feels all the sudden a massive relief and almost feel like crying ...
@

@debbiereilly900last year Thank you for sharing Andy have a blessed day stay safe and healthy. I use olive oil extra virgin all the time
Yummy on salads and bread Mmmm 😋😋😋🙏❤🙏❤🙏 1
@

@balk100last year There are at least 5 types of olive oil. the virgin and extra virgin are just two of them.
But all kinds of olive oil are suited for cooking and it is actually recommended by doctors and nutrionnists to cook with them instead of the other types of oil. The nutrients and vitamins you can find in olive oil are endless (it prevents cardiovascular diseases and aneurysm rupture, it's also a good source of omega 3,6 and 9, and it keeps your hair and skin in a good health).
Just Keep in mind that any type of oil becomes toxic at a certain temperature, you should just learn what temperature you shouldn't reach when cooking with it.
However, Virgin and extra Virgin olive have a round and more complex flavor that are better suited to eat on its own or in any type of salad, that's why it's expensive. The bitter the extra Virgin olive oil, the better it is.
In north Africa, it's common to eat bread dipped in extra Virgin olive oil and honey for breakfast and trust me there's no better way to start the day. An instant boost of energy for all day long. You should really try it! ...

@RCTrickinglast year With both this 30sec short and Ethan’s 30 minute video, hopefully everyone will know now! Getting all the demographics 😎🙏🏻👍🏻 1
@

@tedjohnson512last year Right On!!!! I drink a shot every 4th day (avg). I heard the same thing about Olive Oil and lemmon peels in the 70s.
I'm well over 1/2 a century and can still cut a 360 on an old school Alva 79' with green 70mm Krypts cause my joints are lubed.. 👍😁 ...
@

@klnguyen279last year I only use olive oil for salads/sauces/ or adding it into smoothies (yep, y'all heard that, olive oil in smoothie). For cooking, I use either margarine, mayonnaise or canola oil.
@

@marisa593411 months ago Growing up my wonderful mum would pour olive oil into a green capsicum, add salt and then we would dip fresh homemade bread into the oil and then we would eat the capsicum at the end 🫑🫒😋 1
@

@giggio802last year bread, an hefty amount of EVO, pinch of salt and i like to add a squeeze of lemon, paradise! 1
@

@ItsAlive111last year Cold pressed real extra virgin olive oil ( not the crap in plastic bottles sold in most grocery stores) is to be cherished in salads and on lightly toasted sourdough bread with oregano and thyme. That way you can smell it and taste it ...
@

@prometheus8404last year I cook EVERYTHING in and on Olive oil. Broiling and baking in the oven no problem. Marinating and grilling no problem. In the pan...just a bit lower tempreture and that works well too.
@

@mgreenboylast year u should come to Greece, taste and experience all the procedure, from collecting the olives up to bottling the extra virgin olive oil and cook here in Greece your delicious foods...especially during our summer period!
@

@headfott1674last year Antioxydants like vitamin (mostly named tocopherols in Oils) are extra fragile to heat, such that even 60°C is enough to alter them.
Hence the reason why you don't cook with olive oil, because it's just wasting nutrition.
However, heat does affect unsaturated acids. The more unsaturated your oil composition is, the less you want to cook it. ...
@

@Killmewithfirelast year I didn't know olive oil had a bad reputation other than for its price. Just don't smoke it, aka, learn how to cook people. Here in Spain olive oil is used in everything except for deepfrying, and it really is the best possible oil for so many different dishes....
I am sure italians and greeks think the same way ... 1
@

@CamiloMacayalast year If olive oil was unhealthy or carcinogenic, all of Spain would be suffering from a health epidemic.
Almost everything is cooked using Olive oil.
Some people even fry churros using olive oil.
Extra virgin olive oil is delicious and if you aren’t using it on a regular basis, are you even living??? ... 1
@

@nikkosmistriotis7595last year I am impressed that you know all those things about olive oil. We learn this things from our grandfathers
@

@fbvtt2456last year In Italy oil olive is basically the main ingredient of every recipe. We used it literally for everything
@

@oldkingcrow777last year I've cooked in olive oil for my entire adulthood lol.
And I remember from watching Emeril or something as a kid that you mix butter and olive oil to get the best of both worlds. Butter for flavor, olive oil for much higher smoke point ...
@

@WoodieWlast year People over the big ponds really say that you cant cook with olive oil and it may be carcinogenic? Yeah the whole mediterranean region didnt get that note and guess what? Their diet is considered one of the healthiest diets on this planet. ... 1
@

@winiata4556last year Thank you for sharing you knowledge! 🙏
@

@steviegroovielast year This is the first time I've ever heard about olive oil being potentially carcinogenic but glad to hear it isn't because I use it for everything lol. BTW olive oil cakes are actually divine and would be an interesting thing to make maybe, plus easy for a short vid ... 1
@

@lawrenceshdowlast year Ive never met or heard people worried about it becoming carcinogenic. Only people who say it reaches smoking point and gets bitter.
Which it does.
Really good evo might not change flavor as quickly but at that point ; there are much cheaper oils to use for cooking.
EVO doesn't have a bad reputation at all. Its used more than any other oil for low temp and not heat food prep. ...
@

@sarahdeason493last year Thank You for Educating Us .. U R the BEST ⚘⚘
@

@pressuredropinglast year I've heard its because it starts to burn at a lower temp than other oils so you can get some off tastes.
also if you want to cook with olive oil you can just get regular olive oil and not extra virgin as it burns at a higher temp ...
@

@crankiemanx8423last year Totally agree. but the temp at which they say it becomes carcinogenic is 370'C & over & most hotplates & ovens don't reach that temp or are not used at that temp.
@

@bernie4219last year 100% agree. So many people seem to hate them.
@

@cesardpd6099last year As spaniard Im very curious to try Aus' olive oil, looks interesting 2
