If you cook with extra virgin olive oil, having the pan temperature reach the Leidenfrost effect will lead to the oil smoking.

- dfxm12 2mo agoSimple fix: don't cook with extra virgin olive oil on high heat. The smoke point is one reason. Flavor is another. Cost is a third (less expensive fats are better suited for this task)
- ndr 2mo agoYes, EVO smokes at ~190C, and you need 200C-230C for Leidenfrost. Heating up good EVO is a waste anyways. I do mostly cook in ghee, beef tallow and coconut oil. If you're ok with refined/seed oils there's plenty more you can use.
