Does anyone follow ingredients mark to true? Is it works? I feel it would be too much oil, such for Italian dressing? No?

I usually follow measurements except for French dressing. It's been awhile since I made Italian so I can't remember. You can adjust it to your tastes.

I haven't tried that one, but the ones We have tried have been good. We usually make the balsamic vinaigrette

I follow the ingredients as marked and they are fine. The Asian dressing was especially good. However, if you want to cut down on the amount of oil I don't think it would hurt.

Hi FaithBelle, Do you actually have the physical bottle in your possession? If you do, you can look on the back and the bottom paragraph says that it is 'cold pressed and food grade. It also says that 'It is truly a versatile oil with numerous benefits from culinary to cosmetics' so I believe that it is suitable to cook with. Happy cooking (:

Hi. I am not a health guru, yet an old Romanian friend who has been stunningly healthy for almost 86+ years, told me about pumpkin oil and its potential benefits for reproductive functions in men and women alike. He himself had this oil for his entire life and considered it his secret health trick. I started to add some, organic and cold pressed, to salads about 3 years ago as my pre menopause symptoms want hay off and no one could help. I opt out medications always, so my friend's advice cam just in time. My muscle cramps calmed down and I feel all smoothened well back to normal in maybe 2 months. Any gap in me ordering this oil for refill, and I can feel some discomfort right away, almost in perfect correlation. By trial basically and by what is also folklore info in Romania, I now believe that this oil supplement to my salads is doing me well and I do not need medications. By my friend's statement, it also helped him be well and healthy throughout life, too. He is in fact the old orthodox priest in the Romanian neighborhood where my mother lived for decades. I think it is a good idea to give it a try and add very small amounts to salads, just as a new food product to your diet. Good luck !

Actually, none of these are accurate. I contacted the company and the official temperature is NO MORE THAN 480°. An oily feeling is supposed to be normal, but I would agree that using less than 400° would probably be best. I made public the information pdf that they emailed me. It is located here: http://goo.gl/IaTsT

Lard is what was used years ago by a lot of Italian families. It still does the job. However I do not use Peanut oil, I used a mixture of Light Virgin Olive Oil 60% and mixed with Canola oil 40%. I have always had very good experiences. Lard I find is too heavy and if you are not careful burns the Cannoli if you do not watch carefully. If I can help you anymore let me know

Add a few drops of oil to two or three tablespoons of water. Strength of oil to your liking. I am more sensitive to strength soI use less oil. Enjoy!

I have really had good luck with mine. I tried to grate all my "Italian" type cheeses like this. Hope it works out well for you.

It's a bit thicker. I am mixing with first pressed cold extra virgin olive oil, and mother's vinegar, to TRY and keep healthy. It makes for a good change of pace from regular Italian. I find I have to warm it up before it pours after the first time. But it's got more garlic and I guess some cheese taste, but I'm always throwing some cheese on my salad anyhow.

Made by the same company that makes products for skin. I add this oil to regular lotion and have had no problems. It is not recommended for this so I am not recommending it. The oil for use as pesticide (works great when mixed with water, dish soap, and cinnamon oil, by the way. Find a recipe online.) costs a lot less. Is it the same? I do not know. Has worked for me though some people find the oil somewhat irritating on skin.

I've read that some people have used a few drops of olive oil. However, I haven't tried it myself.

AMAZING stuff!!

The biscotti recipe I use calls for 2 Tablespoons of Anise Extract or 1 Tablespoon of Anise Oil. Too much of the Oil can be overwhelming. Good Luck!

Often I use no oil at all and food comes out great! For homemade french fries, sweet potato fries, etc. I usually just spray a fine mist of oil using the included mister bottle. Olive oil works good as I'm sure other healthy oils would as well to add to the crispness. I do weight watchers and the small amount of oil I use for the frying aspect is not a significant source of calories.

Ah... Without a pointed spout, one will always get dribbles, methinks. But I have not found the bottle to be messy. Nothing that a quick swipe with a paper towel won't fix. You could always pour it into your favorite bottle with a pour spout after making the dressing. That way, you only need one of these bottles for mixing the dressing. Hey---that's a great idea!

I too have heard of that, but think that what I heard was the oil you get in containers. I can't say that I KNOW it works. I think, like other therapies, it depends on you and your makeup, but I don't think it ever hurts to try something like this. The milk is wonderful in green drinks, choc. pudding, & ice cream.

Apparently the formula was changed...it used to be a cream. Mixing won't help. It still does a god job, even in that state...Regards

I mix it with Shea Butter, Grapeseed oil, vitamin E, Almond oil and heat it in the microwave and mix it. Let it cool for a bit and add Aloe Vera Juice and in a container at least twice the volume use a stick blender and whip it. I actually put the bowl in a larger bowl of ice while I whip it so you can get the consistency of a lotion. All of the ingredients are good for the skin, it depends on how much of each as to the oiliness of it in the end. You could just melt it and add water and whip it I suppose, or maybe glycerin and aloe instead of water. I am still experimenting, but if you are a member of Pinterest there are a lot of actual recipes.
