You're worried about hitting the smoke point, which would impart foul taste to the food, but its unlikely to happen with any competent cook.

- jschwartzi 6y agoAlso it's worth noting that the smoke point is different for extra-virgin versus other olive oils. A purified olive oil has a much higher smoke point and can be used for higher-temperature pan-frying. EVOO can be used for pan frying or baking but you have to control the temperature and keep it below about 375. Below that is actually a good temperature for frying mushrooms in my opinion.
