I get that there is probably a more complex answer in reality, and probably an objective ranking, but I’m interested in what people’s perceptions are.

    Why can’t you make seed oils at home?

    Mix every 1/4 cup (59 g) of sesame seeds with 1 cup (237 mL) of oil. Pour your sesame seeds inside a medium or large pot. Then, pour in a cooking oil of your choice, based on the amount of sesame seeds you are using.

        I think olive oil is really good, but buying it is nearly impossible. The economic interest is too attractive and lots of the “olive oil” supply is blended with the industrial oils

        PS it’s not civil to downvote my grand parent comment then try to have a discussion down thread. It makes Lemmy a hostile place and discourages real interactions.

          He’s not the one downvoting your irrational fears - I am though.

          Downvotes exist to suppress dumb fuck takes like “seed oil unnatural”

          He can be civil all he wants I’ll just tell you it’s idiotic and you’re listening to morons.

      Well yeah, but the oils separate and you can skim off the sesame oil, then filter the seed fragments out. Is it just the hassle? That’s understandable, but I’ve made butter and that’s a hassle too.

        I’ve never tried it. But the recipe you link to requires cooking oil to make the flavored oil. So I still don’t know how to make it on my own.

        I’m happy to try it, if I could do it without external oil

          Lol, that’s fair. I suspect it could be done with an animal fat, as long as it had been heated past melting, but it’s pretty unappealing to imagine
