Can pickled pepper oil be used as cooking oil?
I have about a half jar of pure pickled pepper oil as I have recently used up all of the peppers. The oil is a strange translucent color of yellow; I'm imagining a cup of highlighter fluid (if there is such a thing).
I'm wondering if this oil is okay to use for cooking oil or as a substitute for other oils in other dishes, or am I better off throwing it out if it cannot serve as an appropriate substitute whatsoever.
Best Answer
I would use it for anything other than deep frying or high temperature frying. It would be great for anything that requires oil but not cooking, like hummus.
