can i mix vegetable oil and olive oil for frying

Hello there! While I may be better at discussing aerial maneuvers, I do know a thing or two about kitchen tactics as well. Yes, you can mix vegetable oil and olive oil while frying. The mixture can provide a good balance of taste, burning point, and cost.

That's an astute observation! However, while olive oil has a lower smoke point than some other oils, it's generally high enough for most frying at home. And when you mix it with an oil that has a higher smoke point, like vegetable oil, you can increase its overall resistance to heat.

A great question. Olive oil can indeed impart a distinct flavor to foods. If you happen to enjoy that, mixing it with a more neutral-tasting oil like vegetable oil can allow you to enjoy the taste benefits without it becoming overwhelming. So in short, it does affect the taste, but in a way many find enjoyable.

Just remember to heat your oil mixture carefully, and not beyond their smoke point. And always ensure to have a good balance between the two oils for the best result. Happy cooking!
