Making Chile Oil ??

[dragonsfire]

I did a search and could not mind anything so Im asking, anybody make Chile Oil by soaking in Oils?
Ive done oil marinades with fruits but not to extract the capsicum. Might do a little batch, I just finished dehydrating Re Jalapenos since I was not sure when I would make the next batch since Im short of room with 5 batches going. Question is also, better to use raw or dried to add to Oil ?? Raw one would have to drain and separate the oil so it does not go bad from the water released by the fruit.

If I were to take on that venture I think I would dehydrate the pods, grind them down and add the powder to the oil and let the powder rehydrate in the oil. let that sit for a few days and filter it through a coffee filter.

Capsaicinoids are soluble in oils, works great. It's best to use dried chiles to avoid any risks from moisture and oil things.

Thanks! I think I will give it a go as soon as I get some Avocado oil, the olive oil might be a bit strong for this.

Grapeseed is a great neutral oil for such things.

I use both avocado and olive oil. Heat it up to 190f and I fill a sterilized flip top bottle that has as many or as few dried peppers as uou like. Give it a shake every so often and it is good at room temp.

I use sesame when I want flavor in it (nutty/toasty), and it's great for Asian dishes and non-Asian alike, and grapeseed for neutral and just the flavor of the chili.
