Here is post number 2! I've decided that I will post recipes on weekends and tips in the kitchen during the weekdays, so today is tip day!
If a recipe asks for oil, any type of oil can be used to substitute for it, including extra virgin olive oil, but if a recipe asks specifically for extra virgin, nothing can substitute for it. Extra virgin olive oil is made a specific way for its flavoring, and as a result, it's actually best NOT to use it when lubricating baking pans or cooking pots. The purpose of oil in that case would just be to prevent the food from sticking, and why waste that special olive oil you paid extra for? Save that extra virgin olive oil for salad dressing or extra flavoring once a dish is complete, and use canola/vegetable/coconut oil instead when lubricating the pans!
