Avocado Oil

I have never used it, but I'm thinking about trying it. Who here uses it, and how do you use it? What is it like?

I have it but keep forgetting I have it.

Has a high smoke point.

I've used it once or twice.
I expected it to taste of avocados, but I was wrong!

I've read that, which is why I am interested in trying it.

That was my main concern, since I don't like the taste of avocados. Does it taste similar to any other oil?

To be honest, I don't think so. Commercial avocado oil is so refined that it doesn't really taste of anything, IMHO.

I’ve used it. Didn’t really feel one way or the other about it. Didn’t taste of avocado.
