You shouldn't use olive oil for frying whether deep or shallow. it starts to decompose at temperatures as low as 130 to 140° C, into some toxics. We use peanut oil because it is the most thermally stable oil of all the common edible oils. Much less risk of ingesting toxic compounds, although more risk of ingesting fattening compounds!

Can't help but speculate on how many millenia Cypriots, Greeks, Spanish and Italian folk have been frying food in Olive Oil.
I don't know about the Greeks, Spaniards or Italians but I do know that Cypriots have not used much olive oil for frying, in the past. Until relatively recently, most of their frying was done in mutton fat. This was derived from the tails of a breed of sheep (now rare), each tail weighing 4 to 6 kg. Olive oil was too precious a commodity to be used for frying; it was mostly exported.

Oh dear still it makes a change from the usual Covid stuff..
It is not tidal issue as Pafos doesn't have one it is just low water that happens once a year, so not tidel, I think some here never venture to the coast...thanks for that baiting Lloyd...
I’d love to find the post where you admitted that the Med does have a tide albeit a small one but I really don’t want to go through your posts
I was talking of Pafos not all of the Mediterranean, the original thread is on my old forum CyprusLiving it would be easy to find. Yes there is a small tide of such, but you would be hard pressed to see it..Dito on going through all of your postings..
