Many people say olive oil has an extremely low smoke point so you should never cook higher than low to medium heat with it. I have seen varying smoke points as well so I'm not sure which is accurate.
Also...I know plenty of people who coat everything in olive oil before cooking and grilling....on high heat. Even steaks out on a grill etc. Isn't that exactly what we DON'T want and is UNHEALTHY because it denatures and oxidizes the fats?
How do you use olive oil when cooking and what rules do you follow? Keep in mind I know you can add it to shakes and use it as dressing but I'm talking about when you actually cook/grill with it.
