We have a lot of things many of us may be lacking the knowledge on how to make such by themselves. This is why I’m going to show you how to make red oil without using a machine. Red oil is what we use to cook different types of food but the making is what I’ll be talking today and my reason is to help most of us in foreign countries to have the knowledge so you can easily go to the market by palm nut and make local red oil by yourself.
Local red oil is more important compared to the red oil done with the help of a machine because local red oil is done by one person so there’s level and of carefulness especially when sieving the red oil before reboiling.
Materials for local red oil making
Palm nut
Water
Sieve
Pot
Molter
Fire
To make red oil in a local way without spending much money using a machine get a palm nut from the farm or buy from the market. It’s important to allow the palm nut covered using anything that will not allow direct sun contact to the palm nut. The process allow the palm nut to soft and make it easy to extract oil to be recooked for red oil making. It’s important to allow palm nut covered for at least four to five days.
Remove the palm nut from bunches but if bought from the market there’ll be no need. Put the palm nuts inside pot by adding water then place on fire. Allow the fire to heat the pot very well so the palm nuts will be soft to allow oil. Bring down the pot from fire if possible allow the hot water to cool with the cooked palm nut.
Put the cooked palm nuts inside a molter and then use a pestle to heat and turn the palm nut. Continue turning until the oil start coming out. This stage the palm nuts is supposed to be separated from the flesh.
Add water to it and then use a sieve to remove oil from the molter at the same time remove palm kernel and the palm nuts waste. Now the oil is supposed to be thick what you’ll do is to put the oil back to the pot don’t add water. Put it on fire but not much fire just for a few minutes then bring down from the fire. The main red oil is supposed to be out.
