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.
