Light cooking alternative, but not worth markup
This product is the third MCT (medium-chain triglycerides) oil product I've tried out in recent months. While some debate exists as to whether cooking with extra virgin olive oil is a healthy choice, I've used it for many years because it's healthy relative to many of the other available choices, and has a pleasant taste. At least, I personally find it to have a pleasant taste for most foods I typically cook. In recent years, I've also periodically made use of coconut oil, around which debate also exists, but unlike extra virgin olive oil all of the coconut oil products I've seen come in either sprays or solid form, and one of the main reasons I became interested in MCT oil is its being available in liquid form. I've used this Strength Genesis product several times in recent days after trying a similar product from QSTA in recent months, and am fond of both because these provide a very light relative to extra virgin olive oil to the point of having zero taste. The main challenge I've found cooking with these oils is that a non-stick surface isn't created as it is with extra virgin olive oil, although this Strength Genesis product provides a slightly better cooking surface than QSTA. So when making a turkey burger, for example, I need to remind myself to flip frequently, and when making over-easy eggs it's guaranteed that I will end up scraping the pan. The main differences between this Strength Genesis and QSTA is that the former is 60% C8 and 40% C10 in contrast to 100% C10, but the latter also comes at a 50% cost discount. Some might be interested in knowing that a portion of the labeling not provided in the product description here states that this product is a "product of Sri Lanka".
