Questions about Avocado oil
Can you use avocado oil for frying?
Refined avocado oil is a good choice for searing and frying because it tolerates high heat and has a mild flavour. With unrefined oil, use gentler heat and stop if it starts to smoke.
Can you bake with avocado oil?
Yes. Replace a neutral liquid oil with the same amount of avocado oil in cakes, muffins and quick breads; its mild taste usually stays in the background.
How should you store avocado oil?
Keep the bottle tightly closed in a cool, dark cupboard, away from the hob and direct sunlight. If it smells stale, waxy or like old nuts, it has probably turned rancid.
Does avocado oil work in salad dressing?
Yes: whisk it with lemon juice or vinegar, mustard and a little salt for a simple dressing. Its mild flavour also suits dressings for leafy salads, tomatoes and grilled vegetables.
Can olive oil replace avocado oil?
Yes, use it in the same amount for roasting, sautéing or dressings. Extra-virgin olive oil brings a more pronounced fruity or peppery flavour, while avocado oil is usually milder.
Is avocado oil better than olive oil for high-heat cooking?
Refined avocado oil is often chosen for very hot cooking because it has a high smoke point and a neutral taste. Extra-virgin olive oil is flavourful and works well for roasting and ordinary frying, but avoid heating either oil until it smokes.
How is avocado oil made?
It is extracted from the fleshy pulp of avocados, not from the stone. The oil may be refined for a milder taste, or sold unrefined with more of the fruit’s characteristic flavour.
