Will this oil emulsify easily? I'd like to try to make mayonnaise with it.

I don't know. I know it is great for frying veggies lightly. I am a vegetarian. I fry few things and never use high heat. It has a wonderful flavor and great in vinagarette.

I use this oil exclusively for making mayo. However, the recipe I use calls for 1 cup of light tasting (not extra virgin) olive oil, and 1/4 cup of this mac oil. It's delicious! I've never tried making mayo with only the mac oil.

I'm not sure it would be the best vessel for shaking enough to make an emulsion and I would also be concerned about any herbs or spices clogging up the rather small spout. I would not use it for that myself. But if you do try it, let us know how it worked.

Yes that is normal! When the temperature drops or it gets cooler the oil will solidify on its own. If it doesn't solidify; perhaps you live in a warmer area/season, it is still okay. You can pop it in the fridge if you'd like but then it's a little bit harder to scoop out.

I use it to make homemade soaps. I melt it and then put it in with my other oils, I would try to melt it slowly you don't want to heat it too much,just till it is melted ,you don't want to lose the great properties . And you don't want to burn yourself ,let it cool before applying it .I really hope this helps you ❤️

Maybe if you add oil to the nuts before starting but it doesn't get creamy. Also you'll burn the motor out pretty fast. We make mayo every few days with the stick portion and the motor gets hot after about 30 seconds of blending. The instructions say not to run it for more than about 30 seconds at a time and when i make almond butter it takes much longer than that, so I use my blender.

It solidifies fairly smooth and shiny once it melts, but from the factory (or after being solid for a while, maybe) it is somewhat flaky/fluffy, though not nearly as much as the butter. Once you warm it even slightly, it doesn't make any difference. Both the oil and the butter seem to melt at just under 80F.

Add a few drops of oil to two or three tablespoons of water. Strength of oil to your liking. I am more sensitive to strength soI use less oil. Enjoy!

I noticed that there is a little bit of sediment. It doesn't mix back into the oil. I don't think that it will affect the quality of the oil.

Hi Elizabeth, I haven't tried it with oil yet as I've had really good experience just popping it plain with salt.

Jut or baking only, nor lemon juice. I'm not sure, but, perhaps natural fish oil can dissolve oil based lemon emulsion. good idea for kitchen experiment, I'll try.

I haven't attempted using a liquid in mine. Since it was listed as an oil sprayer, I assumed a thinner substance might not work. Now I'm curious...

Yes! I have used it to fry fish snd stir frys. But the oil gets hotter faster. So be careful using it. I love it.

No not at all,, because u clean it with warm wet towel softly....clean at least 7 times until oil is gone..but don't do over...u will find out once u do it...hope it helps u..

I think if you can dilute it correctly, you'll be ok. It's a very, very strong oil, so it def needs the correct ratio of carrier oil to this. Plant therapy has a dilution chart here: http://essentialoilblogging.files.wordpress.com/2013/12/plant-therapy-dilution-guide.jpg

First let's qualify my response, I am an electrical engineer not a chemistry engineer. My personal observation and use is: The oil doesn't have an odor (something I noted in reviews about other brands) and would be a giveaway if olive oil, or such, were in it, the viscosity is too high to have been diluted with any cooking oils I have seen. It's pretty close to colorless/clear. I hope this helps a bit.

I asked my wife, who has gone to culinary school, this question. She says the oil has too thick of a consistency and will clog up a generic sprayer.
