spacepup | 2,404 Administrator · Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 I use avocado oil often. It doesn't have a strong flavor - you don't really *taste* avocado in my experience. One of the advantages to using it over olive oil, is that has a much higher smoke point, so for cooking it is more flexible. I'll use olive oil when I want a stronger flavor, or for sauces and garnishes - but I mainly use avocado oil for the actual cooking. EDIT: I doubt Gloves makes his own It is actually quite common, available at most grocery stores now. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use a cast iron pan and the higher smoke point of avocado oil is huge for my low ventilation apartment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In general avocado oil is one of the more expensive oils. I also will use truffle oil on occasion for a more earthy flavor, or as pup said olive oil for a fresh taste (makes a nice salad dressing base). Avocado oil has basically no taste to it, I use it for everything from steaks to popcorn. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recently upgraded to the ultimate theatre popcorn experience, coconut oil. It gives it a slight flavor, and the signature color. Also always add Flavacol, you can skip the butter entirely.

I'd not use it for frying way too expensive. In my experience it doesn't go bad, though admittedly I use it up pretty quickly. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an incredibly high sodium content flavoring. Like, it's super condensed salt. It's literally what theatres use, and is the reason why their popcorn tastes the way it does, and why without it you'll never get the same flavor at home. You need to buy it, trust me. Please go follow my recipe, it'll change your life. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
