Can Cold Pressed Oils Be Used for Deep Frying and HighHeat - Maharashtra - Mumbai ID1667234

If you have recently switched from refined oil to cold pressed oils, you may have one very practical question:

"Can I actually use cold pressed oil for frying, or will the heat ruin it?"

It's a fair question.

Indian cooking isn't exactly low-heat cooking all the time. We make pakoras, puris, pooris, samosas, vadas, bhajiyas and many other dishes that need fairly high temperatures.

So if you're keeping a bottle of cold pressed groundnut, mustard, sesame or coconut oil in your kitchen, you probably want to know where it actually fits.

The simple answer is:

Yes, many cold pressed oils can be used for cooking and frying, but the type of oil, cooking temperature and how long you heat it all matter.

Let's understand it properly.
