Try sauting with peanut or another oil & just add a LITTLE of the sesame oil for flavor. </div></div>

That explains a lot then cause I'm telling you, the flavor was overpowering. Well, I will try it again and use it as a little seasoning flavor this time. </div></div>

True Tulip,
Roasted sesame oil is a flavoring agent and not for sauteing or frying.
It's good on stir fry.
Peanut oil is what the Chinese use for frying. It has a high smoking temperature and holds up when other oils will smoke.

Although basil oil usually stimulates, in excess it can have a stupefying effect and should not be used during pregnancy or on children under 16 years.

Since it can irritate a sensitive skin, it must be used with care on people with sensitive skins. It also has emmenagogue properties, so it must be avoided during pregnancy.

Re: Let's talk ..OIL

Jaded, this is going to get made. And you even add kosher salt to it? Mmmmm talk dirty to me. I can't wait to try this on something. I think brushing it on shrimp and veggies on skewers might be the first thing.

carrier oil..here is one recipe

by Jessica Bard

Be the first to rate this Recipe
Basil oil is perfect for those times when you want a hint of basil but don’t want to overpower the flavors of summer’s ripest batch of corn or tomatoes. Try drizzling it over just-grilled bread, tossing it with steamed green beans and sea salt, or pouring it over a cold summer, soup, like gazpacho.
Yields about 3/4 cup.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1 cup mild olive oil
2 cups tightly packed sweet basil leaves
Kosher salt

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Put the measured oil in the refrigerator while you prepare the basil. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Have a bowl of ice water ready. Blanch the basil leaves in the boiling water for about 10 seconds. Remove them quickly with a strainer and dunk in the ice water, swishing them around to be sure they’re all cold. Remove from the water and squeeze gently to remove the excess water.

Roughly chop the basil and put it in a blender. Add the oil and 1/2 tsp. kosher salt; blend until the basil is puréed. The mixture will be very frothy. Let the purée settle for about 30 min. Strain through a cheesecloth- lined fine strainer, very gently pushing on the solids to extract the oil. Use immediately or refrigerate for up to a week. For the best flavor, let the oil come to room temperature before using.

Re: Let's talk ..OIL

Johnnycakes, you and Jajewel are both speaking up for the peanut oil. I never bought any but dated a guy many years ago whose mother use to fry things in it and they came out really crispy. I kind of thought I did not like peanut oil because I don't like the flavor it gives fried turkey, but I'm willing to give it a try again. Hope they sell smaller sizes than those vats I have noticed in the grocery store.

Now see had we never discussed oil, I would have never known I was at fault for my usage of the sesame oil.

Re: Let's talk ..OIL

Nothing interesting. Mostly canola, some olive oil. It depends what I'm cooking and what I have.

Isn't it about $200/gallon? LOL

For real though, I know it is high and I don't even see it in the grocery store. Where do you buy it from? </div></div>

It is very expensive and it hard to find - I have found it here and there at some caribbean groceries and online ethnic groceries... is because of the expense why I only use it for browning my meats and stuff. </div></div>

I paid $1697J (incl. tax)= $20US, for 4 liters of coconut oil. It's called "Simply Natural" & is from Trinidad & Tobago. It is 100% coconut oil. Maybe you could try to see if it's available online. I guess that's a good price....don't have anything to compare it to, since I'm not in the US.

On the other hand, I paid $840J (incl. tx)=$10US for 500 ml. or 17 fl. oz. of Ybarra extra virgin olive oil in Jamaica. That seems high to me but, again don't have any US prices to compare to. How much are you folks in US paying for extra virgin olive oil??
