Frequently Asked Questions About Grilling oil
What is grilling oil used for?
Grilling oil is used to coat food or grill surfaces before cooking over high heat. Its ingredients vary by product; some are plain oils, while others may include seasonings. Use it according to the package directions and avoid overheating it until it smokes.
Should you oil the grill or the food with grilling oil?
Either works, but coating the food lightly is often easier and helps avoid excess oil dripping onto the flames. If oiling the grill, apply a small amount to clean grates rather than pouring it over a hot grill.
Does grilling oil keep food from sticking to the grill?
Yes, grilling oil can reduce sticking, especially when used with clean, preheated grates. Brush on a thin layer; oil alone will not prevent sticking if food is turned too soon or the grill surface is dirty.
Can you use grilling oil on vegetables?
Yes, grilling oil works well on vegetables such as peppers, zucchini and eggplant. Toss or brush them with a light coating before grilling so they brown without drying out, and avoid letting excess oil drip into the fire.
Can grilling oil be used for a barbecue marinade?
Yes, grilling oil can be mixed with herbs and seasonings for a marinade. Keep raw meat and its marinade separate from cooked food; discard used marinade or bring it to a boil before using it as a sauce.
Does grilling oil have a high smoke point?
Grilling oil is intended for high-heat cooking, but its smoke point depends on the oil used in that particular product. Stop heating if it produces persistent smoke, and check the package for guidance on its intended cooking temperature.
Can you use extra-virgin olive oil instead of grilling oil?
Yes, extra-virgin olive oil can be used for grilling, particularly at moderate heat, but it may smoke sooner than a refined oil. For very hot grilling, refined olive oil or another oil suited to high heat is a better choice.
Can grilling oil be used on a grill pan?
Yes, grilling oil can be used on a stovetop grill pan. Apply a thin coating to the food or pan, and do not leave oil heating in an empty pan; lower the heat if it starts to smoke.
Will grilling oil cause flare-ups on a barbecue?
It can if too much oil drips onto the flame or hot coals. Use only a light coating, trim excessive fat when appropriate, and move food away from a flare-up until the flames settle.
How should you store grilling oil after opening?
Keep grilling oil tightly closed in a cool, dark place, away from the grill and stove. Heat and light can make oil lose quality faster; follow the package directions if the product contains added herbs or other ingredients.

What is Grilling oil?
Grilling oil is a cooking oil used to coat food or add to a marinade before grilling. There is no single standard recipe: products may use different oils, so check the label if you need to know which one you have.
Brush a thin layer over vegetables, meat, fish or other foods before they go on the grill; you can also apply a little during cooking to help keep food from sticking. Its neutral role makes it easy to pair with herbs, spices, citrus or a marinade. Grilling oil is entirely fat: the provided figures list 100 g of fat per 100 g. For a lighter result, brush it on sparingly rather than pouring it over the food.
