Best oil to fry with?

[Frangipanini]

Been using Extra Virgin Olive oil for years as still hanging off the advice from back then that it is healthiest. I also occasionally use Coconut Oil.

We don't fry a lot. It is mostly frying onion and garlic or just using a tablespoon. Olive oil is really expensive and it is not the nest to have on a high heat apparently.

Which oil is best for frying whilst being healthy-ish.

Extra virgin & virgin is wasted for frying.
For Med. type dishes I use cheap olive oil,
for Chinese groundnut,
for general purpose I use Rape seed - often labelled as "vegetable"

I use Rapeseed oil

Rapeseed here too.
Then I have very nice virgin olive oil for drizzling,dressings or just dipping for bread.

EXtra virgin oil is for dressings and dipping! Normal olive oil for frying

Also, whilst I am here. I just found a small bottle of truffle oil in my cupboard.

What does one do with this?

Thx for your recommendations everyone.

I use vegetable oil and mix with a tiny bit of olive oil if I need it for taste but usually just vegetable or sunflower oil

Not sure wether it’s the healthier option - but like you said; coconut oil and olive oil has a low burning point so it can be annoying sometimes.

For Asian foods and stir fry’s I use sesame oil

Sunflower or vegetable oil. What's wrong with them?

I use EVOO only as a raw ingredient, in salad dressings etc.
I cook with the cheapie olive oil.
Unless it's eggs then it's half OO and half butter. Yum.

Add truffle oil sparingly to dishes containing mushrooms - gives a wonderful flavour.
