Olive oil use in general i'd say, other oils are better for cooking. A good olive oil is a finishing oil.

Even though you're right, don't ever tell me how to use oil. I will continue to waste olive oil and money.

Abundantly agree! It's a waste to fry olive oil, you're just destroying the flavor. Canola is my goto for actually cooking, olive is best reserved as a dressing or occasionally a core ingredient in cold dishes like hummus.

I prefer avocado oil for cooking but it's a lot more expensive.

It is but the smoke point is very high so it beats the pants off olive oil which I consider a finishing oil. I don't like using olive oil for cooking.

Olive oil goes in if there's a chance I'm going to taste it. If I don't want to taste a hint of fruity oil in the final product, why the fuck am I using olive oil
