Toasted Sesame Oil: Save Money & Boost Flavor

Start by cleaning and drying your pan thoroughly. This step is key for a clean, nutty finish. Heat the pan on medium until you can feel the warmth radiating from the surface. That’s when you know it’s ready. Pour in a small amount of cold-pressed sesame oil. Swirl the pan gently to keep the oil moving and prevent burning. Watch for a golden brown color and a rich, nutty aroma—this means your oil is perfectly toasted. Remove from heat right away. Carefully transfer the hot oil to a glass bowl and let it cool to room temp. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a year. Homemade toasted sesame oil is fresher, cheaper, and honestly, tastes way better than store-bought! #SesameOil #CookingTips #PlantBased #Food #Cooking
