    I had the exact same problem i decided to take a kilo of rindless bacon since i didn't want to pay extra for the less baconish fat turns out the fat is super needed unless you have oil so i ended up with burnt bacon fused to the camp fire cooking plate it was kinda good in a super horrible burnt way. I signed up for some free oil so my less horrible bacon next time i camp thanks you.

  • ohsnap on 28/09/2011 - 22:58

    +1 recommendation from me too. I use this oil for my daily use, buy it whenever it's on offer (the 4L one).

    • MattyD on 28/09/2011 - 23:07

      Absolutely: a beautiful taste and with a higher boiling point means you can roast, fry, even deep fry without having to clean burnt oil off everything. Cleaning up is always simple. Did I mention the taste?

      • ohsnap on 28/09/2011 - 23:46

        Yep, I first started using it when I was searching for one with high smoke point. I absolutely detest the smell of other oils, especially canola and vegetable when deep frying. Only other oil I don't mind would be peanut, but it's not cheap and rarely on offer.

  • retiredfeline on 28/09/2011 - 23:01

    Is this stuff actually healthier than olive oil? Because I read somewhere that thats just a huge marketting gimmick and in actuality its worse.

    • dowanted on 29/09/2011 - 01:23

      Well, the saturated fat content is slightly lower in the Rice Bran Oil. However, Canola Oil has lower saturated fat than the both of them.

      They're all generally good oils, imo. Even Olive Oil.

  • boretentsu on 28/09/2011 - 23:35

    If you like it, Woolies is selling 4L cans for $13 which is bloody cheap considering 1L bottle costs $7 anyway. Pretty good, I prefer to use this over sunflower/canola for cooking because it has neutral taste and has high smoke point.

    • Zero on 28/09/2011 - 23:43

      This is exactly what I'm looking for.
      Thanks for posting your experience, hopefully this will live up to it for me.

    Thx op~

  • dowanted on 29/09/2011 - 01:21

    I find this oil quite good. I tend to alternate between this and Canola Oil, depending on which is on special when I need to purchase a new one.

    There isn't much difference, nutrition wise, between the two. The Rice Bran oil does have the more neutral taste, though, and I actually use it as an emollient for minor burns and scratches at times, and it works!

  • Geewhizz on 29/09/2011 - 05:49

    Food stays crispier when cooked in ricebran oil than in Olive oil. And the smell when it's cooking is better.

    I'm curious to know how a 10ml sample is supposed to be enough to decide whether you like the product.

    • retiredfeline on 29/09/2011 - 07:15

      100, not 10.

  • unity1 on 29/09/2011 - 07:04

    Wonder if this will be honoured? I remember there was another oil sample earlier this year where the offer was not honoured and they ended up giving a $5 off Internet voucher to use on their online store.

  • skinny on 29/09/2011 - 07:23

    The most healthiest oil for deep fried things - for all others, use a good olive oil

  • trunks on 29/09/2011 - 07:55

    Anyone else notice that the picture on the website shows a 1L bottle not 100ml?

    • anthony on 29/09/2011 - 10:14

      So you know what to look for in the supermarket

  • simulacrum on 29/09/2011 - 08:14

    If you do a lot of stir frying at high temp, or even a lot of deep frying this is the best oil you can get. Very high smoke point, and very healthy as far as frying oils go.. (avocado oil has a higher smoke point, but the taste is not as neutral).

  • marcusv on 29/09/2011 - 08:51

    This oil is exceptional stuff, have been using it for several years. Its real strengths are:
    - Excellent taste, very subtle, slight nutiness
    - Exceptional health properties - apparently one of the very best oils you can consume
    - Very high smoke point, making it suitable for everything from stir fries to BBQs
    - Very light viscosity…hence great for salads and direct use e.g on bruscetta

    Very underrated product, I think folks are turned off by the name 'Rice Bran oil' - hardly sounds sexy but its top shelf quality.

    On a side note I never cease to be amazed by the number of folks who've no idea which cooking oils should be used for what and use Extra Virgin Olive oil for stir fries etc…..FWIW this product helps on this front as you quite seriously can use it for just about everything and get top shelf results.

    Typing this as I have a coffee and some Brownies I made using this oil instead of butter and you'd never know the difference. :-D

    • MattyD on 29/09/2011 - 11:47

      That's an excellent and very helpful breakdown Nikko, thanks!

      (typing this as I sit here covered head to toe in this oil instead of nutella and … oh wait … yeah I can tell the difference)

    • ozAzn on 30/09/2011 - 23:23

      Yeah… all the reasons of why i buy this stuff…

      I cant remember price but a few weeks ago, Rice Bran oil was on special at Woolies. But they were the tank sizes. If you use this as you everyday oil (like how some people use their olive oil), you wouldnt really be scared of expiring dates… :)

  • Daniel Plainview on 29/09/2011 - 12:01

    No probs MattyD.

    Definitely recommend folks give this product a try and you'll never get a better chance than this. As mentioned by some, keep your eye out for the 4L tins of this that come on special around every few months. Has usable product life of years so even if you don't use much is a very good buy when they knock 30-50% off.

    Is just one of those products you use and find yourself thinking,"Wow, why didn't I start using this before now?"
