Questions about Mustard oil
How do you use mustard oil for cooking?
In South Asian cooking, heat it until it just begins to smoke, then let it cool slightly before adding spices, fish or vegetables. This mellows its sharp, pungent aroma; avoid leaving it smoking unattended.
Can you use mustard oil for deep-frying?
Yes, refined mustard oil is commonly used for frying. Heat it gradually and keep the temperature steady; discard it if it smokes heavily or smells burnt.
How should you store mustard oil?
Keep the bottle tightly closed in a cool, dark cupboard, away from the hob and sunlight. Use a clean, dry spoon or pourer so water and food do not get into the oil.
What dishes are made with mustard oil?
It gives a distinctive sharpness to Bengali fish curries, pickles and marinades, and is used to temper spices for vegetables and lentils. A little goes a long way, so start with a small amount.
Can you substitute another oil for mustard oil?
For cooking, rapeseed or peanut oil can replace it, but neither has mustard oil’s pungent flavour. Add mustard seeds or a little prepared mustard if you want some of that sharpness.
Is mustard oil the same as mustard seed oil?
The names are sometimes used for very similar products, but they can refer to oils made or labelled differently. Check that the bottle is intended for cooking; some mustard oils are sold for external use only.
Is mustard oil safe to eat?
Only use a bottle clearly sold as an edible cooking oil. Some mustard oils contain high levels of erucic acid and are sold for external use, so do not assume that every product labelled mustard oil is food-grade.
What is the difference between mustard oil and peanut oil?
Both are used for frying, but mustard oil has a sharp, pungent taste, while peanut oil is comparatively mild. Mustard oil has 10.1 mg of vitamin E per 100 g, compared with 15.7 mg in peanut oil.
