What is the difference between olive oil and vegetable oil? Besides where they come from the difference is the smoke point, the temperature at which the oil smokes and becomes unless, and the taste. Vegetable oil has a higher smoke point than olive oil. Olive Oil should never be use for sautéing or frying. Vegetable Oil or Canola Oil is perfect for these high heat cooking techniques. Is it bad if you use olive oil in baking? No, Olive Oil is perfect for baking and roasting. I use it all the time when I am roasting meats, veg, and fish. I even use it in place egg wash for some bread recipes. Tossing the food in Olive Oil will allow the product to attract more heat, in turn getting a better brown faster

EXTRA VIRGIN Olive Oil is the health oil to use but only cold. It does not do well with heat. Use canola oil for cooking. Of course, olive oil is made from olives while veggie oil is from veggies.
