I was shopping at the local store today, and in the Italian section, just down from the olive oil, they had grape seed oil.

Being a curious individual, I figured I'd ask the knowledgeable folks on the best forum there is...

What the heck is it for, and what do you do with it?

It was a bit expensive...at $5.99 for 10oz...I'd say expensive.

It did say on the label, "Made in Italy, 100% pure, no solvents"

It can be used like any other cooking oil. It does have the benefit of having a high (about 420 degrees F) smoke point so it can be used in high heat cooking without filling the house with smoke.

It has a fairly neutral taste so it can be used in sald dressings and homemade mayo without adding any of its own flavor.

I usually keep a jar of it and a jar of peanut oil in the house for occasional use where there will be high temps involved.

Grape seed oil is also used to conceal a crack in an emerald.

I took a short BBQ class one evening at a local store and they recommeded using grape seed oil to spray on the grill for BBQ-ing as a non-stick coating. Works better than most I've tried so I'm sticking with it.
I use it for cooking my eggs in the morning as well.

This is why I love, and am impressed with the knowledge of the forum.

Thanks Fuego.

I'm going to get some for BBQ'ing and try it too.

It is the base ingredient in the production of Viagra.
