Never! That is not what extra olive virgin oil is for. Heating up EVOO breaks it down and makes it taste and smell bad. I deep fry in canola oil, I wok in peanut oil, and I sauté in extra light tasting olive oil.
BTW, sesame oil is not for cooking, either.

I have, on numerous occasions, seen Mario Batali pan fry, sauté and deep fry with extra virgin olive oil. I trust him as an authority on the subject.

Mine never tastes or smells bad. If that were true I wouldn't use it that way.
My partner is Korean-American and we cook with sesame oil all the time, which I forgot to mention in my first post.
Go figure.

If I need to just brown something before baking or roasting, drizzle a little EVOO. Fried foods and stir fried foods I use peanut oil. Sometimes a dollop of butter too. And i cook eggs in butter. I think of sesame oil as more a finishing oil and it gets a splash or more towards the end of a stir fry or incorporate in a sauce.

Same here. Learn that when I was in Italy. They use it for frying all the time and they do not use a little bit either.

I use EVOO for just about everything too, sometimes with butter. I don't deep fry. I also use canola oil.

Like most I saute in evoo. If I need to sear or brown meat I use canola or grapeseed, same for stirfry.
I've never had the evoo taste or smell bad when sauteing.

Grapeseed for frying, EVOO for sauteing, Expensive EVOO for cold/drizzle. Butter or Bacon grease for eggs, sesame oil as a finish or marinade.
