Chapter 448: Making Sesame Oil, It's Not That Simple [Asking for a Monthly Pass]

Xu Zhuo took a brand-new tin bucket and put it at the outlet, and took the sauce that flowed out.

He picked a little sauce with his fingers and put it in his mouth.

The sauce made with sesame oil tastes a little more bitter than sesame paste, which is probably because it is fried too hard.

And the fragrance is a little lighter.

But the strange thing is that this sauce can be made into sesame oil.

And the delicious sesame paste, the clear fat is not fragrant at all.

The flavor is not even as strong as peanut oil.

It seems that in this small sesame seed, there is also a college question.

Xu Zhuo added a dustpan of cooked sesame seeds to the hopper, then opened the small boiler next to the cleaning equipment, filled it with clean water, and began to boil hot water.

Sesame oil is inseparable from hot water.

In ordinary life, after there is oil stains in the bowl or plate, you only need to pour some hot water into it, and the oil stains will be washed off.

This is also the principle of making sesame oil.

Use the hot water to replace the sesame oil in the sauce.

This practice is known as water substitution.

This means that the oil in the sauce is replaced with water.

The principle of this method is simple, but it is cumbersome to do.

Because this practice not only has requirements for water temperature, but also has clear regulations on the frequency and time of stirring.

Even pouring hot water should be poured in four stages, and you can't pour it all at once.

After waiting for the sauce in the bucket to be full, Xu Zhuo replaced it with an empty bucket and poured the sauce in the bucket into the cauldron of the oil shaker.

The oil shaker is a very interesting device, which is mainly composed of a large cauldron and two motors.

One of the motors drives the agitator in the pot.

After pouring water into the sauce, use a blender to stir the sauce and water in the pan.

Only in this way will the sesame oil be replaced.

Some merchants adulterate sesame oil, and it is in this step that it is carried out.

When you start stirring the sauce, pour in some salad oil or peanut oil, and under the action of the blender, the fake sesame oil will be poured into one with the real sesame oil.

If the sesame oil is adulterated after it is done, the oil will be separated.

So some people who don't understand these things will think it's very strange, why am I standing in the sesame oil shop and watching people scoop sesame oil from the pot, but there is still a problem with this sesame oil?

For example, if you eat sesame oil for a while, it will lose its fragrance.

The reason is that when the oil is shaken, the sesame oil has been adulterated with fakes.

It's useless for you to stare at it.

The other motor is located at the bottom of the cauldron.

When most of the sesame oil in the pot is taken out, turn on the motor at the bottom and shake the pot to let the oil residue and other impurities sink to the bottom, and the grease takes the opportunity to float to the top.

At this time, just carefully scoop out the sesame oil with a water scoop.

As for the waste residue left in the pot, unscrupulous merchants will mix it into the tahini paste and sell it.

Naturally, Xu Zhuo would not do this, he would collect the waste residue and send it to the forest park.

This thing is a good fertilizer, so you can use the pickle garden as fertilizer to plant trees, or you can open a vegetable garden over there to grow some vegetables.

Anyway, the land is now surrounded by a courtyard wall.

As long as you don't sabotage it inside, the management committee that grows vegetables will never stop it.

After all the tahini has been grinded, the water in the small boiler has been boiled.

Xu Zhuo scooped up some hot water first, poured it into the stone mill, and washed out the remaining sesame paste inside.

After all the sesame paste inside and outside of the stone mill is put into the barrel, the sesame oil is made.

Turn on the blender on the oil shaker and start heating the water inside.

The temperature of the hot water must be above 90 degrees Celsius, so that the sesame oil in the sauce can be replaced.

The lower the temperature, the worse the displacement effect.

In addition to the requirements for water temperature, the amount of water poured is very particular.

Not too much, too much will be easily scooped into sesame oil.

However, it should not be too little, if the replacement is not complete, the sesame oil will be trapped in the oil residue, affecting the oil yield.

Generally, the ratio of the amount of water poured into the sesame paste is 1:1, which is slightly more, and the advantage is that the sesame oil in the sauce can be completely replaced.

But when skimming, you need to have good technique.

Otherwise, skimming the water into the oil drum will affect the color of the sesame oil.

For the first time, add 60% of the total amount of water.

While adding water, turn on the blender and let the sauce and hot water in the pot combine.

When the pot began to stir, Xu Zhuo took a long-handled shovel and kept going deep into the bottom of the pot to stir up the sauce on it.

When you first start stirring, the hot water poured in will quickly be absorbed by the tahini, so be sure to be patient at this time.

As the blender turns, the tahini will gradually be diluted.

After forty minutes, the oil, water, and residue in the pot have been mixed evenly.

Small clumps of oil have already appeared on the surface of the water.

At this time, the second pour is carried out, and the amount of water poured this time is 20% of the total water, and hot water above 90 degrees is still used.

After pouring the water, the consistency of the mixture in the pot will decrease again, and more and more oil splashes will appear.

At the end of the mix, there will even be large oil splashes on the water.

After 40 minutes of stirring, the water was already full of grease, and the peculiar smell of sesame oil wafted through the room.

Then start the third water addition.

The amount of water added this time is 15% of the total amount of water, after pouring the water, after the mixer stirs, the surface of the pot has more sesame oil, and even some has affected the normal operation of the mixer.

Wait until 20 minutes to stir, then add the remaining 5% water.

At this time, there is a clear boundary between the grease in the pot and the oil residue in the lower layer.

However, the grease has not been completely replaced, and it needs to be turned on low speed and stirred continuously for 50 minutes before this step is over.

Next, it's time to skim the oil.

Xu Zhuo found an oil drum that could be sealed, took a clean water scoop, and began to skim the oil.

Skimming the oil is not directly scooped out, but the water scoop is pressed into the pot, so that the grease flows into the scoop along the edge of the scoop, so that it is not easy for water to enter the grease.

When a thin layer of grease remains in the pan, start shaking the oil.

When the oil residue and water sink to the bottom and gradually solidify, Xu Zhuo scoops out the remaining sesame oil with a water scoop and pours it into the oil drum, and the steps of making sesame oil are completed.

However, the finished sesame oil can't be eaten at this time, and it must be precipitated.

It is best to settle for ten days to allow the oil residue and moisture to sink to the bottom.

But now Xu Zhuo can't wait, he plans to start using the top sesame oil tomorrow.

"Grandpa, the sesame oil is ready, you see. ”

Xu Zhuo returned to the Sifang Pavilion with the oil barrel and offered a treasure to let the old man see the sesame oil made.

As soon as I opened the lid of the oil drum, a strong fragrance wafted out.

The old man glanced at Xu Zhuo in surprise, but his grandson had been shocked too much in recent months, and the old man had become numb.

Pretending to be careless, he said, "Yes, I was ...... back then."

At this point, the old man stopped.

Because he found that he had never made sesame oil at all when he was young.

This......

How do you put it down?
