How to Make Homemade Corn Oil
Ingredients
4 ears of Corn
8 cups of Water
Instructions
Step 1 – Cut all of the corn kernels off of your corn using a sharp, serrated knife.
Step 2 – Grind the corn using either an oil extractor, a grain press, or just a food processor on a low setting.
Step 3 – Soak the now-ground corn in warm water and leave for 2 days, to allow the oil to leech out from the corn mash.
Step 4 – Strain the corn solids from the liquid, and set the water aside for 12-24 hours, or until a fine layer of oil floats to the top.
Step 5 – Skim the oil from the water surface, either by using a gravy separator, or just a ladle, and then store your corn oil in a sealed container for up to 6 months.
