Avocado Oil

[blunomore]

Do any of you use it?

Is it a good substitute for e.g. olive oil and can it be used for the exact same purposes?

Thanks

Never used it before but looks almost as healthy as olive oil.

I use it and love it. You get a really good lemon flavoured one and I use it just same as olive oil

I use it for salad dressing but don't cook with it because it seems to have a low burning point

So I guess if you want to saute or braise e.g. onions, you could just keep the temperature of the stove plate very low and it would work too ...

I have used it, and it's not as good as olive oil, especially for cooking.

Possibly, if you have the time I think it would be ok for that but not to fry something to brown.

Avocado Cream really helps for sunburn...

Avocado oil has the highest smoke point of all the cooking oils - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoke_point

No cooking then, one must presume.

We use it as dressing on salads and pastas mostly too. The lemon flavoured one is yums!
