In researching self-sufficiency, we came across another question: If we were to run out of stored cooking oil (olive, canola, corn, etc.), and cooking/baking sprays, what would we use in its place? (Substitute / Replace)
Corn? We've researched making corn oil - it takes 56 lbs (1 bushel) to make about 1.2 lbs of corn oil. Wow, that's a lot of corn. Plus it's an involved procedure with soaking and more. Would that be the best way to use the corn?
Almond? To make almond oil, you would squeeze or press the oil/water from the raw almonds, leaving behind a tasteless powder (which could probably used as flour). Our research can't find more details, but it bears looking into.
Olive? We'd probably have to grow a lot of miniature olive trees in a tall greenhouse to make enough olive oil to be worth it.
Cotton? Soybean? Sunflower?
How about we just make sure we have plenty of butter!?!
Meanwhile, if anyone has the information on the best and most efficient way to make cooking oil from something easily grown, please let us know so that we can do further research, and pass along the information. Thanks.
