My sort of maybe embarrassing “late to the game” thing I’m learning now is how to tell if oil has gone bad.
I feel like most other foods have obvious visual tells like mold or they end up smelling foul and obviously bad. But I was googling about oil and the internet says “if it smells like crayons, it’s bad” which would not have been my first guess. And I tested it out on my somewhat old sesame oil and was like “by god, I would describe this as smelling like crayons”
Anyway protip if your old oil smells kinda like crayons it’s probably no good 🖍️
IF YOUR
MASCARA
SMELLS LIKE
crayons
DO NOT EAT IT
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Massage oils and oil-based lubricants, too!!!
Also cooking oil!
Spoilt oil products VERY OFTEN lose their normal odour and smell of crayons!
