BTW, Iain, now that you no longer have any guns following that buy-back, the good news is that you have a ready weapon of mass destruction available to you.
Merely point, light and spray. Oooicks!!

If you are cooking steaks on a BBQ you shouldn't need oil anyway.
Get the plate as hot as you can and throw on the steaks.
A steak should only be turned once, and that is when the juices have started to appear on the top of the steak.
By this time the steak would have released from the plate, meaning you don't need oil.
If you are putting oil on a steak to add flavour, try a different butcher:D
I know people will say there are many ways to cook steak but they are wrong:D :D :D
Cheers, Jack
Jack, my new barby (BBQ not doll) is the Weber Q, they are a little different, the grill, not plate, is enamelled and need the meat to be oiled before contact, it is also cooked with the hood closed to maintain heat from the circular gas element.
They are very efficient and after having been the proud owner for about three weeks now will vow never to return to the 'conventional' BBQ.
Everything I ever learned about the conventional BBQ has now been discarded in favour of this magnificent little beast, even if I do lose my eyebrows and moustache because I don't read the can:rolleyes:
Ian, you should look at using a different oil, as extra virgin olive oil has a low "smoke point" , so ignition would not be far away from that.
Canola oil, smoke point (SP) 221 celcius (c)
Coconut oil, SP 220c
Corn oil, SP 210c
Cottonseed oil, SP 232c
Grapeseed oil, SP 230c
Light/Virgin olive oil, SP 210c
Sesame seed oil, SP 210c
Sunflower seed oil, SP 200c
Extra virgin olive oil, SP 121c
Peanut oil, SP very high (sorry no data) but worth noting it is a primary used for frying which makes it a very good choice for the BBQ.
Because oils such as walnut, hemp seed, pumpkin and olive oil are such aromatic and "fruity" oils with a low smoking point they should be used for warm preparations or salads. Don't use them for frying or oiling the BBQ, they burn easily which ruins the taste and it is a waste of good money (most are expensive). Stick to peanut oil if you have to oil the grill.:D
Hang on is this the woodwork forum or the chefs forum:confused: :rolleyes:
Regards
Felixe
Olive is a wood, is peanut????
My oldest daughter uses an ordinary pump bottle: 1/8 your choice of oil. 7/8 water. Shake before use.Quote:

Just the hose needs re fitting. Too easy. Done soon. I hope Sorry Iian.
Sorry. I'll go bk to my shed now. I'm being a bit of an aerosol now :laughing1: :hihi:
Sorry. :laughing1:
I have used a spray bottle , usually used to spray water on cloths etc , about $2 from supermarkets
put any oil of choose in and away you go
I think you will find it is the other way round. A chef does not fry in olive oil because it burns at a lower themperature than rape seed oil and that undoes all the benefits, nutrtitional and flavour.Quote:
