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.

Tips:
- Choose fresh herbs for the best flavor. Rosemary and basil are great options, but you can also use thyme, oregano, or sage.
- Use a good quality olive oil. Extra virgin olive oil is the best choice, but you can also use regular olive oil.
- Don't overcrowd the slow cooker. The herbs need room to infuse the oil.
- Cook the oil on low for at least 4 hours. This will give the herbs time to release their flavor.
- Let the oil cool completely before straining it. This will help to preserve the flavor.
- Store the oil in a cool, dark place. It will keep for up to 3 months.
