you season with flax oil because it's the best oil for polymerizing your griddle. pro tip - use flax oil for your first 3 or 4 seasoning layers & then add 2 or 3 seasoning layers of grapeseed oil on top of it

Great, informative video. As Derek said above: Use a TOASTED sesame oil, especially for fried rice. Also use oyster flavored sauce (no, it doesn’t taste like oysters, and it’s a very thick sauce). Just like when using just a little toasted sesame oil, use a little oyster sauce towards the end and mix it in well. Don’t overdo it with either or it can cause your rice to flash steam because of the moisture content and it will overpower the flavor and could make your rice soggy. A little goes a long way. I spent a month frying rice 3 times a week trying to find the taste my family and friends like best, and adding those 2 ingredients resulted in the best tasting restaurant style fried rice.

FYI, regular/pure/light sesame oil (the kind you feature in your videos) IS for cooking, frying, and sauteing. TOASTED sesame oil is specifically for finishing. Toasted sesame oil will be explicitly labeled as such, and if it doesn't say toasted (or some I've seen say roasted), then it is a regular sesame oil, which is different than the finishing oil.

@@contentm3893 You shouldn't cook with any refined oils either. The refining process removes everything good in the good oils and then makes them as bad for you as Canola and Vegetable Oil.

As for Butter, make sure it is actually Butter and not Margarine and also try and find grass fed Butter, which you can cook in, if you are cooking at a lower temperature and if it is something quick like eggs or a grilled sandwich.

Other than seasoning/protecting my griddle, I use almost exclusively butter (300F) and beef tallow (400F) to cook. You can make your own tallow by saving the leftover grease and fat from slow cooking roasts, etc. then let it separate and harden in the fridge. I was shocked to learn how shady cooking oils really are with respect to truthfully describing ingredients and sources. A lot of oils get blended with "junk" oil from other seeds and such that can be toxic when overheated (grapeseed, for example). No two olive oils are created equal, for example, so there's a ton of variation and inconsistency across brands and labels. Some of these questionable oils also ship in substandard plastic containers that leech phthalates, which are bad to consume from on their own, but even worse when heated. Generally, look for glass containers if you can.

@JohnnyBrunet Жыл бұрын

I've heard that too and honestly the more research I did for this video the crazier it was. I still use canola bc it's cheap but aft reading a lot of these comments I might start trying to cut all that oil out. Butter and natural animal fats just seem like a safer way to go.

I know you should season your grill after cooking and cleaning, should you also put some oil down before you throw something on it? My eggs were sticking this morning and I didn’t put down any oil or anything

@JohnnyBrunet Жыл бұрын

Yes I start pretty much all my cooks with a thin layer of oil. Especially eggs they will stick on you really quickly. When I do eggs I do a thin layer oil and a pad of butter then I pour down my eggs. The oil keeps the butter from burning and the butter just makes everything taste better. Then you also have two fats down as a lubricant so you get less sticking. I hope that helps. Thanks for watching Zach.

Hi Johnny, How do you feel about Grapeseed Oil for cooking with or seasoning?

@JohnnyBrunet 2 ай бұрын

So do you just measure out the same amount of coconut oil for baking as you would the other oil?

@JohnnyBrunet Жыл бұрын

That's what I did with the cookies. Also I've seen people use it in place of butter. Kind of crazy but they say it's healthier. Again, I have no idea if that's true or not.

This is great but I only eat natural animal fats. All that commercial oil is bleached and deodorized. I’d love to see a comparison of things like filtered bacon fat, tallow, etc. I’m getting my first griddle and going to season with lard and see how it goes. Or even a comparison between the standard canola and avocado oil against animal fat.

@JohnnyBrunet Жыл бұрын

Those are some great ideas I will add them to the list. I've used tallow to help moisten a brisket while smoking it but that's it. I also don't really have any experience with lard so I think tha would be a great video to make of me learning about it. Thanks for the suggestions.
