Preparing for Uncertainty and Self Reliance

Olive oil here.

Caribbean women.

I used to cook with olive oil and seasoned my skillets with peanut oil.

Now it's mostly coconut oil.

When I butchered my beef I cooked some burgers and a steak in fresh tallow. I'm tellin you boys, that shit was tasty.

I use avocado oil and olive oil. I'll use bacon fat when I cook enough to go to the trouble of saving the fat

Coconut flour battered pork chops tonight with an avocado drowned in lime juice.

I'm stuffed.

How do you even cook with olive oil?? It always burns on me, and threatens to ignite.

How do you even cook with olive oil?? It always burns on me, and threatens to ignite.

1. What kind of olive oil are you using (light, virgin, cooking)?

2. What temperature is your burner set at?


The lighter the olive oil, the lower the temperature needs to be. If you want to cook at high heat, then use sesame or coconut oil. With regular olive oil (not virgin), medium-high is probably the highest a stovetop should go, and that's pushing it. I just set it around medium and take my time.

Our stove tends to run a bit hot - especially with cast iron pans. The olive oil is "extra virgin", but who knows whether it actually is.

I've mostly settled on using Canola oil, for lack of options.

3. Extra virgin is not great for cooking in a pan. It's mainly for salads. You can use it for frying, but you need to keep the temperature very low. I am not sure it's suitable for cast iron pans, though, since they get pretty hot on all their own.

4. Canola oil is fucking poison for your heart.

5. Try sesame oil if you like to cook at high heat (or coconut like Okee, but sesame tastes really good in my opinion, especially for chicken).
