"Light" olive oil will smoke less than "Virgin" olive oils and be fine for most frying purposes. If you want more flavor, you can use mid grade (virgin but not extra virgin), but be careful with the temperature. The highest grades are usually used for direct consumption such as in salad dressings.

Is olive oil better to cook in then vestable oil?
Olive oil is known for being healthier to cook in, but it cannot withstand as much heat as vegetable oil. It will burn onto the pan. Olive oil is better used once cooking is almost done, or on raw vegetables - such as spritzing on a salad. Olive oil can be used for frying, but not high heat frying. Peanut oil, which is also a very healthy mono-unsaturated oil smokes, and burns at a much higher temperature than even some vegetable oils. Extra Virgin olive oil is highly flavorful, and very good on salads. Regular olive oil has some olive taste, but is very good for cooking. Extra light has very little flavor. All can be used for light frying.

Can you substitute olive oil for vegetable oil when making waffles?
Olive oil CAN be used for frying, but you must have a HIGH quality, Virgin or Extra Virgin olive oil before attempting to cook with it. Various industry sources tend to place the Smoke Point of High Grade olive oil at around 400 degrees Fahrenheit and most frying is done somewhere UNDER 375 degrees, so this shouldn't be an issue. There are two main methods of frying and the relative merits of each method as it pertains to Olive Oil is as follows: 1) Saute'/Pan Frying. Pan frying requires a relatively small amount of oil and therefore is a rather economical method of frying food. Since E.V. olive oil tends to have a strong (but pleasant) flavor, this method works well with strong flavored foods such as onions, garlic, peppers, asparagus etc. 2) Deep Frying. While it's COMPLETELY possible to deep fry in High Grade olive oil, it's Pure Lunacy to do so. Virgin and Extra Virgin olive oil tends to cost ( I'm guessing here... ) about 3-5 times as much as decent vegetable oil and in general, would leave battered and/or breaded foods with WAY TOO MUCH oil flavor. On the other hand, if neither of those characteristics is an issue for you, then...
