I use also use olive oil for it, but think about switching to cocos or palm fat because they have mostly saturated fat. I thought monounsaturates (olive) are rather heat tolerating. Surely saturates tolerate heat best. Is heating Olive-oil discouraged in the Erasmus Book? Recently Todd mentioned that he doesn't expect trans-fatty acids from frying. Can someone elaborate? The Erasmus-book seems to be recommendable? cheers Amadeus S.
