Avocado oil is extracted from the oil of ripe avocados and has many uses, from cooking and frying to skin and hair care. Store-bought avocado oil is usually quite expensive, so it's more economical to make it yourself at home. Extraction of avocado oil is also quite easy to make. Depending on how you're making it, you'll probably have mashed butter left, perfect for baking or for a fresh guacamole!

Steps

Method 1 of 3: Extracting oil by cooking

1. 

   Peel 12 avocados. Rinse 12 avocados and cut each one around the seed. Use a knife to work around the seeds until the avocado halves separate, then spoon the avocado meat into a blender or food processor. Throw away the avocado skin and seeds.

   "Avocado oil is very effective in skin care. It is rich in vitamins and fatty oils that moisturize the skin and accelerate the recovery process."

   Blend the butter. Turn on the food blender or blender in the puree mode. Blend until butter becomes smooth, then pour in a medium-sized pot.

3. 

   Cook butter over medium heat. Turn to medium heat and cook the butter in the saucepan, stirring every 5 minutes. As the mixture starts to boil, the mixture will start to foam, and you should notice the avocado oil float on the surface.

4. 

   
   
   Cook until the color turns dark. Continue cooking and stirring until the butter changes color from light green to dark green or brown and the water evaporates.

5. 

   Scoop the avocado mixture into a bowl. When the butter is finished, scoop the butter mixture into the bowl. Cover the bowl with a clean and thin cloth like a curtain, then hold the cloth around the top of the bowl, turn the bowl upside down and grab the corners of the cloth so that it forms a bag with butter inside.

6. 

   Squeeze the butter bag to filter the oil. Squeeze the butter bag over a bowl to filter the oil. The avocado oil will drip down the bowl. Alternately rotate the handles and squeeze for about 1 minute until no oil drips down.

7. 

   Fill the bottle with oil. Once the oil has been squeezed out, pour the oil from the bowl into a small jar or container with a lid. Now you have avocado oil to use! advertisement

Method 2 of 3: Extract the oil by pressing the peel of the avocado

1. 

   Peel 12 avocados. Cut the avocado around the seed, then use a knife to separate the avocado. Scoop out the avocado meat with a spoon and set aside. Throw out the butter seeds.
   • You can use the avocado meat as a guacamole sauce or use it in other recipes!

2. 

   Put the avocado skin in the orange press. Pick up the peeled avocado peels and stack them on top of each other, then place the piles of avocado peels in the orange press.
   • The orange juicer is designed for juicing oranges and other citrus fruits but is also well suited for squeezing oil from avocado peels.

3. 

   Squeeze the avocado skin. Pull down the lever of the juicer and press until the grip of the juicer touches the avocado peel. Pull down the lever of the cam press as much as possible. The mallet in the machine will squeeze the avocado peels together and squeeze out the oil.
   • The avocado oil will flow into the machine's compartment after it is pressed.
   • Read the instructions on the juicer if you are unsure how it works.

4. 

   Press until the oil stops dripping. Squeeze the peel of the avocado repeatedly to extract all the oil. If you notice that the surface of the avocado peel is not fully pressed, you can turn it around to squeeze the unpeeled skin.

5. 

   Oil Filter. Take the holder out of the press. You can see pieces of avocado flesh or peels suspended in the oil. If you see anything in the oil, filter it out by placing the coffee filter paper inside the tight sieve and placing the sieve in the bowl, then pour the oil through the sieve until it flows into the bowl.
   • The coffee filter will prevent any butter chips from falling into the drawer.

6. 

   Let the oil filter and bottled. You can leave the sieve on the top of the bowl overnight. This will allow the remaining oil in the butter chips to be slowly filtered into the bowl. After the filtration is done, pour the avocado oil into a small jar and cover it tightly. advertisement

Method 3 of 3: Extract oil by squeezing dry butter

1. 

   Take the meat of 12 avocados. Cut the avocados around the seeds, then use a knife around the seeds to separate the avocado halves. Scoop the meat of 12 avocados and place them in a food blender.

2. 

   Blend the butter in a food blender. After you've scooped up the avocado meat in a food processor, puree the avocado until it becomes a smooth, smooth mixture.
   • You can also crush butter by hand if you don't have a food blender.

3. 

   Spread the ground butter on a baking tray. Spoon the ground butter onto the baking sheet, then use a spatula to smooth the butter into a thin layer. Try to spread the butter about 1.3 cm thick.

4. 

   Place the butter tray in the oven. After you've spread the butter in thin layers in the tray, place it in the oven. You don't need to preheat the oven first, but remember not to let it heat up more than 50 degrees Celsius. Here we need to dry the butter, not the butter.
   • You can also dry the avocado tray in the sun for about 2 days to dry.

5. 

   Leave the butter tray for 5 hours in the oven. Let the butter dry in the oven for about 5 hours. Check it every hour or so to make sure it doesn't burn. Avocados should be green to dark brown; If the butter turns black, remove it from the oven.

6. 

   Remove the butter from the tray. Remove the butter tray from the oven after it has been in the oven for 5 hours. Use a spatula to remove the butter from the tray and place the butter pieces into a thin cotton cloth or square gauze.

7. 

   Squeeze the butter bag into the bowl. Lift up the butter inside and pull the corners of the cloth together like a bag. Use as much as possible squeeze the dried butter into the bowl. Change the squeeze so that all butter in the bag is squeezed out. Stop spinning when no more oil drips out.

8. 

   Pour avocado oil into the jar. Once you've squeezed all of the avocado oil into the bowl, you can throw away the cloth and the dry butter, then pour the avocado oil into the jar and cover. advertisement
