Be aware if oil that you are cooking with is smoking lest it catch fire.

vegetable oil has a higher smoke point than olive oil but olive oil has better flavor. If you're frying for a significant amount of time use vege oil, if frying for a short amt of time you can use olive. If you're in the middle you can blend olive and vege to heighten your smoke point so the olive won't burn and still get the flavor
