INFUSED OILS
From Recipegoldmine,Don't use infused oils for frying. If heated, the flavor compounds can break down and become bitter. Add them at the end of cooking or in cold dishes. * Savor them at their simplest as a dip for French bread. * Drizzle any herb-infused oil over tomatoes. * Toss cooked pasta or rice with any infused oil. * Brush fish or chicken with infused oil before grilling. * Drizzle over popcorn for a distinctive snack.
