olive oil for baking and roasting
I have been making a variety of Milk Street tray bakes and am always leery about using extra vergin olive oil so use a super light olive oil instead. Is regular EVOO fine for baking under 400 degrees?

Hello Beth,
Thank you for using our recipes for your tray bakes. Extra virgin olive oil is fine for baking below 400 degrees. When the oil is mixed in with other ingredients, as a marinade or seasoning, rather than just oiling the surface of the baking dish, it should be fine at even higher temperatures.
Best,
