Avocado Oil Hack (Stovetop Method)
Ingredients
- 1 whole avocado (firm, green, and ripe)
Instructions
-
Warm the avocado on the stove: Set a gas burner to medium-low heat and place the whole avocado directly over the flame for a few minutes to gently warm it.
Safety note: This is an unconventional technique. If heated too long, the skin can scorch, split, or burst. -
Cut and pit: When the avocado feels warmed through, remove it carefully and slice it open lengthwise. Take out the pit.
-
Press out the oil: Hold the warmed avocado over a cup and squeeze or press the flesh to release any oil. Work cautiously—the avocado may be very hot.
-
Cool the oil: Transfer any oil you collect into a glass and allow it to cool before using.
Important Note
This approach often produces very little avocado oil, and standard avocado oil extraction methods are generally more reliable and safer.
