I agree with you, Ed. I wipe down the inside of the rotisserie after using
it anyway and would then apply fresh oil with each use. I think I would
worry about mineral oil getting into the drip pan. Is mineral oil edible?
I don't know.(?) Sis


Mineral oil is OK (often used for cutting boards) , but just not needed if
you have the cooking oil handy.



Yup, I use it on my Boos cutting board. I make sure that it's food grade
oil. Actually, the last bottle I got was actually from Boos and also
has linseed oil in it. Does a nice job on the board.

Other than buying it from Boos, where can I buy food grade linseed oil? I
haven't used oil on my cutting board in many years and you reminded me that
I should. I used to use vegetable oil, but heard it can become rancid(?)
when used for this purpose. Maybe the linseed oil is better? Sis

The Boos is actually a mix of food grade mineral and linsdeed oils. As
for just food grade mineral oil, do you hvae any kitchen supply stores
in your area? I've haven't looked but would expect that places like
Linens and Things, Bed-Bath-and Beyond would have it. Or here's an
online source for 16ox of food grade min. oil for five bucks.

Personally, I wouldn't use veggie oil for the reason that you said.

Drugstores have it also. It is used as a lubricant and occasionally as a
laxative.

It takes lard a really long time to go rancid too.

Most people overuse lubricants, whether they intened to or not.I'd guess it
would accumulate over time.

The usual "food quality" mineral oils, such as you buy in drug stores and
supermarkets, and probably use on your wooden chopping block, certainly are.

It will polymerize from heat. It is then closer to a plastic than an oil.

Thanks, Donald. That link was very helpful. It also recommends flax seed
oil, which I have now at home. I'm going to give that a try. Sis
