Olive Oil

Olive oil has a unique taste that can't be matched by any other oil. If this is a case of not having any on hand then you could use corn, canola, or vegetable oil if you are mixing a dressing. If you are planning to use oil and vinegar, or oil alone, then there really isn't a substitute. If you want to substitute it because of health concerns, then bear in mind that 100% pure virgin olive oil is probably the healthiest choice.

No, it may lower cholesterol if used as a substitute for more unhealthy cooking oils. In addition to a low cholesterol diet, and exercise.

Technically, yes, you *can*, but, you shouldn't. Here's why: Although it is oil-based, there is a lot of stuff in there that is not oil, and a lot of it is not friendly to heat. Sugars will burn, as will garlic, spices, and herbs. Vinegar or other water-based flavorings in the marinade will boil off and evaporate, concentrating the already burned and extremely un-tasty flavors you have going. Plus, there's no need to. Cooking tightens proteins, so, no additional flavor is going to be imparted to the food. So, in conclusion, it's not tasty and it's unnecessary. If you want to use a marinade as a sauce, and get the flavor of the marinade on after it's cooked, then reserve some of the marinade BEFORE it hits the food. Some people will tell you to boil it after you take the meat, etc. out of the marinade to use as a sauce, but, it can't get hotter than boiling temperature, and some bacteria can survive 212 degrees. So, I think it's better safe than sorry. Nut, it's your choice.

"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.

For refining the oil, there are three basic processes in the refinery. First process is neutralizing the oil in the neutralizer to remove the Free Fatty Acids (FFA) by adding caustic soda. Oil is heated upto about 60°C by thermic fluid coils and oil is stirred by stirrer. Then soap stock formed due to chemical reaction is allowed to settle at the bottom of the neutralizer from where it is taken out into soap pan. Neutralized oil is drawn into the second vessel called bleacher where colour of oil is removed by bleaching process with aid of chemicals such as carbon black and bleaching earth. Oil is generally heated upto 110°C by thermic fluid coils. Stirring is also continued. Bleaching process is done under vacuum. Bleached oil then goes to the filter press where bleaching earth and chemicals are separated and clean bleached oil is then drawn to deodourizer where oil is heated above 110°C through thermic fluid coils and then live steam is given to the oil from the bottom steam nozzles and temperature of oil is raised upto 200 to 220°C through thermic fluid coils.

All olive oil producing regions of Spain export their product.

about 120 degrees but it is hard to set it on fire with a lighter you will need a blowtourch or another burning thing to light it

Olive oil is considerably rich in monounsaturated fats. Monounsaturated fats are "good fats" that reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. Unlike saturated fats, olive oil lowers total cholesterol and low density lipoprotein levels in the blood. It is also known to lower blood sugar levels and blood pressure.

Wooden Cold Pressed Olive Oil

Cold pressed olive oil is made when olives are pressed to produce oil without heat or additional chemicals. When cold-pressed, the olive fruit will stay below 50 C (or 122 F). At this temperature or below, the properties of the oil don’t get damaged. This is why, when pressed cold, most of the olive's nutritional value sticks around after turning to oil.

yes when olive oil is mixed with alomond oil its still just oil and its good to use in your hair

Yes, olive oil is an excellent choice for chicken. Brush the empty crock pot with olive oil, then rub the chicken inside and out with olive oil. Rub with salt and cracked pepper if desired, and add whole sage and thyme inside the bird and between the skin and the flesh. Place any root vegetable such as onions, potatoes and carrots in the crock pot and set the chicken on top of the vegetables. Add half a cup of broth, white wine or water to the pot. Cook on low for 6 - 8 hours or until done. (you may cook on high for 1 hour, then on low about 5 hours or until done. )

Yes, you can. Olive Oil can freeze to a solid, depending on what type, at around 2 degrees celsius or 36 F. To see visual proof of this crazy phenomenon, go to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QU-RcacETEw

The answer is no. Olive actually has a slightly higher calorie count per teaspoon than butter.

However, olive oil is a much healthier alternative to butter or margarine because it has no cholesterol and is lower in other types of fats that cause heart disease.

But if your concern is the fat on your stomach, olive oil is not a better alternative.

No, canola oil comes from the seed of a weed, the rape weed. It was originally processed as a synthetic motor oil, during WWII, when petroleum based lubricants were scarce.

Canola [Canada Oil] is known in Canada as LEAR Oil {low-erucic acid rapeweed oil} it is derived from the seed of a weed. Canola, Safflower, sunflower and others are seed oils and not derived from a vegetable, such as soybean or corn; or fruits like cocoa, coconut or olive oils. There are several other oils in all three above categories, most cooking oils are interchangeable in use, and fruit and seed oils often are incorrectly called vegetable oils.

I don't agree with what you said. Canola oil belongs to vegetable oil. it is made from canola oilseeds. Besides, Vegetable oil has very large scopes such as sesame oil, olive oil, palm oil, peanut oil, sunflower oil, etc..

Poured in the soil, it will attract pests and bacteria. Rubbed on the leaves, the thin coat of oil will shine and decrease the leaves' ability to do their of exchanging gases.

So, yes, but you're better off spritzing the plant now and again with water to get dust off of it and promote leaf health for a natural shine.

Olive oil is helpful as it makes hair soft when you have frizzy or dry hair and has alot of vitamins in it. It also gives shine to your hair and makes it grow faster.

Honey makes your hair soft and makes it lighter when your hair is dull, damaged or dry and cinnamon stimulates blood flow to the scalp, so that's where the growth comes from.

Normally, a dirty scalp, heredity, stress and other such reasons including lack of sleep and improper intake of protein can be held responsible for hair loss. It is interesting to note that those suffering from hair loss or baldness, may apply a paste of hot olive oil, one tablespoon of honey, one teaspoon of cinnamon powder before bath and keep it for approx. 15 minutes and then wash hair. It was found very effective even if kept for 5 minutes as well.

People throughout the world use tanning aids. Such aids include Olive oil, Baby oil, and manufactured tanning enhancers. Many of such methods have unfortunatly led to skin cancer and other skin issues, in that they increase the UV level in the suns rays, and magnifly the contact on the skin. Such use of these products can be dangerous and sometimes life threatening. Always be careful in your use of tanning aids, and immediatly consult a physician if you notice uneven blotching or fading of the skin, such symptoms can be indicators of starting stages of skin cancer. Take care.
