"It tastes like a used tire" - she said and left the table. My
date at home failed. I served vegetables on a plate that tasted like a
tire. Ouch.
Do you want the same to happen to you? If not, keep reading. I'll share seven of the most important cooking mistakes people do all the time.
1. Frying with olive oil
Many cooks may want to shoot me for saying this but I'll say it anyway. Don't fry with olive oil. Olive oil, just like most other vegetable oils is not resistant to the high temperature that it reaches when frying. This produces cancer-causing chemicals and trans fat.
Olive oil is excellent for salads and might be fine for cooking in a soup because the water temperature doesn't get as high. But it's very bad for frying.
If you want to fry at all, fry with butter or even lard.
