I am making a lemon pasta sause and it calls for extra virgin olive oil but there is none in my house and I can't go to the store. Is it ok to use vegetable oil instead?Is it ok to replace extra virgin olive oil with vegetable oil?
Lemon pasta sauce, sounds interesting. Yes, it will just be a little lighter and the lemon will make up for the missing olive oil flavour.Is it ok to replace extra virgin olive oil with vegetable oil?
YES YES YES!! And it won't be more fatty! There isn't more fat in other types of oil, than in olive oil.


It's all 100% fat - or you've been con'ed!





Olive oil is not really suitable for heating up at all - (especially cold pressed - also sold as ';extra virgin';) it will form harmfull transfat-acids!





Cold olive oil is the best (bar none!!) for salads, homemade mayonnaise and drizzling of all kinds (in stead of butter, f.ex.).


Extra virgin even better than ordinary olive oil (and it tastes better!) Actually it's active ingredients will help fight bad cholesterol.





But don't heat it!!





.. I know .. er .. arhm .. ';certain celebrity cooks'; (none mentioned) advocate extra virgin olive oil for just about anything. It's a misconception!!
yes its totally fine. it wont taste as good because olive oil is used as more of a finishing oli. you cant cook with it too much because it has a low burning temp. but you can replace it with veg. oil and just add a bit more seasoning.
You can, but you're definitely going to get a different flavor profile from that. I'd use canola over vegetable oil which would impart less flavor.
I would not use vegetable oil, it has no flavor. Substitute melted butter in the lemon sauce. I think it's a more flavorful choice.
u can but the food want have as much flavor plus olive oil is heather and its not that expensive anymore in local supermarkets
Yea you definatly can, but the olive oil is just healthier and has a distinct taste. But the canola oil should be fine
yes, you wont kill anyone but, they do have different qualities that might impact the final product.
Its ok but it won't taste as great as Extra virgin oilve oil. That is the compromise!
Sure. Its edible. Probably won't quite have the punch one looks for, though.
i use EVOL all the time because its healthier and it tastes better :]
Yeah. You will just have a little less flavor, thats all.
should be, but i wont gaurentee
Yes, it'll just be fattier.
sure
