I wouldn't. They are not too oily tasting and you want them moist. There is a lot of dried corn pieces in the mix and they would be gritty without the oil. In fact, they taste better sometimes after sitting a bit to absorb the oil and moisture..

i do not skip the oil, however, i add an extra egg and a dash of molasses...everyone loves the cornbread...the best is Penguin...

it says you can do it, but I haven´t try it. I have try skim milk and it worked but takes longer.

I have made the bread using the mix exactly as recommended, but never found it oily. It is, to my taste, no different than the many regular bread recipes I have used over the years. My one big mistake has been to over-proof it, an unforgiveable gaff which ruins an otherwise good bread. All that said, I can't think of a reason not to try it with less oil.

Not with fresh oil. My only spatter was when I did fresh Brussel sprouts, probably from some residual water.

Yes you can. I mix it with both hot water and milk. When mixing with water I noticed I needed to use more mix to fulfill the flavor.

I don't know, haven't tried it without oil. It was too small for me after I used it only once.

Sure, why not? Although it migh go down quicker w/ milk or almond milk. Very good taste w/ no after taste.

I'm not sure why you want to add milk instead of water...do you want a higher calcium/calorie product? Perhaps you can contact them via the toll free number.....they usually can answer all your questions....Good luck!

The directions say to use nonfat milk, stay away from fuids with oils/fats which disinhibit the foaming.

Yes. You just take the oil compartment out and there's a spout with a screw-on cap. I use a funnel and pour the oil into a clean half gallon milk jug. Unless you have a reason not to reuse the oil next time you fry, though (e.g., you fried shrimp and somebody you're serving has a shell fish allergy, so you can't use it for that meal), you can just leave it in the compartment and pour it directly into the fryer next time you use it.

I have used milk, soy milk, almond milk, buttermilk and water. The results are good each time. Even though I am a fairly adventurous cook, I have not yet tried to use olive oil. I have had good results substituting apple sauce for oil. Good luck...enjoy your experiments!

Yes you can and without oil. I melted mine in a double boiler before I put it in the fountain to speed things up. Works great! But this is wonderful in a bowl to dip fruit in!

I'm sorry, i've not attempted that recipe. I've used it sparingly but each time, it's been perfect. Good luck!

I generally just mix it with purified water. You could mix it with skim milk if you wanted to as well.

I have used water instead of the included oil since I got it. Still works great!

No problem. Standard 5w-30 (no mix) is all it takes. I got mine at WalMart. They also sell synthetic 5w-30. I changed the oil after the first 5 hours. Went with synthetic.

Yes - flour. I wouldn't use oil because you shouldn't really wash it, just brush off with a dry towel.
