Grapeseed oil possesses a moderately elevated smoke threshold of around 216 °C (421 °F).
Thanks to its crisp, subtle flavor, and elevated polyunsaturated fat concentration, it can be employed as a component in vinaigrettes and aioli, and as a foundation for oil infusions featuring garlic, rosemary, or alternative herbs or spices.
It is extensively utilized in pastries, flapjacks, and batter-based dishes. It is misted onto raisins to aid in preserving their taste.
